01:59Few have achieved the accolades
02:01of former lightweight champion,
02:03Charles Oliveira.
02:04This is the most decorated finisher
02:07and submission artist
02:09in the illustrious history of the UFC.
02:12One milestone remains for the Brazilian.
02:15At the UFC 326,
02:17he has the chance to claim the title
02:19he feels destined to possess.
02:21Of course!
02:22I have to fight for this central BMF.
02:23If you want a war,
02:24I'm in the war.
02:25If you want to go out of the war,
02:26I'll go out of the war.
02:28Now is the time
02:30to fight
02:31for your life.
02:34It's all on the line.
02:37Legends never die.
02:40Look at this.
02:41Pointing down the ground.
02:42I want to go in there
02:43and get in his face.
02:45He's going to give up
02:46or I'm going to make him quit.
02:47Oh, that's it!
02:49That is it!
02:49Holloway's sending a message tonight!
02:51When Max does this,
02:53we'll see who he's a BMS.
02:56Wow!
02:57Look at that!
02:58This guy continues to get it done!
03:00These are two of the most exciting fighters
03:02in all of the UFC.
03:03Another finish for Max Holloway!
03:05Oh, man!
03:06Charles Oliveira!
03:07How about him?
03:09Before the Octagon returns
03:11to the fight capital of the world,
03:13John, it doesn't matter.
03:14Chronicle the journeys of the BMFs.
03:17Oh, this is not bad, bro.
03:20This is UFC 326.
03:24Countdown.
03:26Legends never die.
03:35Dun, dun, dun!
03:38Yup.
03:39I'm excited!
03:40Ready?
03:41Show me.
03:42Show you?
03:43Show me.
03:43Show me.
03:46Show me.
03:47That's pretty .
03:48In 2019, a bespoke title was created.
03:53A belt that exists exclusively outside the Divisional Championship norm.
03:58to be contested only by fighters with a reputation,
04:02an ability, the fitting of its name.
04:05The BMF title.
04:06This is for the baddest in the game.
04:09This fight's a big deal for huge fan favorite fights.
04:13The lineage of fighters who have fought for this coveted honor
04:17possess the character.
04:19I'm here to kill and be killed.
04:21Let's give the people what they want.
04:22Charisma.
04:24Win by any means.
04:25That's the attitude.
04:26That's the mindset.
04:27The credentials.
04:28I'm well on my way to creating a legacy,
04:30and I think that these fights are for that.
04:32Equal to the prize they battle to obtain.
04:35He's the baddest mother effort of night.
04:38Oh!
04:40Justin Gaethje has done it!
04:42And wins the BMF belt!
04:44That legacy lives on in present day
04:47through current BMF champion, Max Hollum.
04:49The fact that you have won the BMF title is so appropriate.
04:54A beloved fan favorite who truly embodies the very essence
04:57of why this belt was created.
04:59All I gotta say, I'm him.
05:01I'm him, guys.
05:03And a product of his surroundings.
05:06That forged one of the most decorated combat sports athletes
05:09to ever step into the octagon.
05:15On the west side of Oahu, Waianae, Hawaii.
05:19It's known as the tougher part of the islands.
05:23You give what you get.
05:24If you give someone a smile, you get a smile back.
05:27If you give someone a stink eye, you'll probably get beaten up.
05:30So, I love being from Waianae, and there's a reason why I'm here.
05:35There's a reason why I'm one of the baddest mother emphases in the world.
05:41It's just something I knew I wanted to do from 10th grade.
05:44I fight for Waianae, like, trying to show people that you're not bad kids.
05:48Like, fighting in the ring is more better than on the streets.
05:5110th grade, I was telling myself I wanted to be a K-1 kickboxer.
05:54Who gon' stop me hot? Who gon' stop me hot?
05:57Two years later, when I was 18 years old, I wanted to be an MMA fighter.
06:00Max Holloway, he couldn't wait to turn 18 years old so he could fight professionally.
06:06Then, we're here now.
06:07He's got power, and he wants to use it.
06:09Oh, he hurt him with that body shot.
06:11He hurt him with that body shot.
06:12He hurt him with the body shot.
06:12Hey, that's all!
06:15Oh, man!
06:16And he is chasing the finish now.
06:18He's telling Collar to defend himself, and that's it.
06:21Another finish for Max Holloway.
06:24Every single fight that I go into, I find the best guys in the world.
06:27Pettis is in trouble.
06:28Holloway's pouring it on.
06:29He's melting, that's it.
06:31I go out there and I leave it on the line every single time.
06:35Look at this, pointing down the ground.
06:37Wow!
06:38Oh, man!
06:39Just swinging!
06:41Wild!
06:41No defense at all, just haymaker!
06:47I'm a fan favorite, because you know when I get into a fight, it's going to be a fight.
06:52Holloway coming out real strong, and Aldo fading real bad.
06:55Every fight he's in is a war.
06:59Oh!
07:00That's it!
07:00That is the way!
07:02One and done!
07:03I can't go through my career and say this guy was in a boring fight.
07:07I'm the best boxer you see, baby!
07:09Oh, my!
07:10The no-look right hand!
07:11I'm the best boxer!
07:13Max Holloway showing there's levels!
07:15Oh, my goodness!
07:16He's violent!
07:17He's aggressive!
07:18This man is an absolute killer.
07:21Like a king, give me my crap!
07:23There's a saying I like telling people, you know, I'm their favorite fighter's favorite
07:26fighter.
07:28After establishing himself as one of the greatest featherweights of all time,
07:36But then in the future, you know, he's got to have a better fighter of all time.
07:37Holloway set his sights on an ambitious goal.
07:39To take on one of the sport's most dangerous entities.
07:43And reigning BMF champion.
07:46The BMF belt is on the line here tonight, Justin Gaethje, Max Holloway, two of the most popular,
07:51baddest fighters on the roster competing for this special title.
07:54I expect a highly focused, highly prepared Max Holloway
07:59To rise to the occasion and show you everything that he has in his arsenal
08:04When you think about violent people in the UFC, you think about Justin Gaethje
08:08If you go up and beat a Justin Gaethje, you have all the bragging rights
08:12That go with being the BMF champion
08:13I was super excited to share Octavio with him
08:16Because I know it's for the BMF title
08:18The BMF title is on the line
08:20It's going to be one hell of a fight
08:23We went out there and I feel like we didn't disappoint
08:26These are two of the most skilled guys in the world
08:30Tension in this arena is palpable
08:32Nice uppercut by Max
08:34Oh, good left hook by Max
08:36He stung him with that left hand
08:38Oh
08:40I think he broke his nose
08:41With the heel right on the face
08:43It looks like that nose is destroyed
08:45Holloway looks so sharp
08:47Oh
08:48I can't wait to go out there and make fans remember moments
08:52Here we go
08:53Round 5
08:54Being out of position in his career right now
08:57He's looking for something big
08:59The point down in the last second
09:01That's a cool moment for a lot of people
09:03A lot of fans come to me and tell me
09:04Man, that point down feels amazing
09:06Look at this
09:07Holloway just told him
09:09See it right here
09:10Oh
09:11Big connection late
09:13Oh
09:15That'll do it
09:16With one second to go
09:18Oh my god
09:20Face first on the canvas
09:22Matt Holloway wins the BMM title
09:25Oh my goodness
09:27Home for him to stand and trade
09:30Holy smokes
09:31That's a warrior
09:32That's a real warrior
09:34An absolute stunner
09:37BMM
09:38That's a BMM
09:39Oh my god
09:41The baddest mother effort
09:43In the toughest sport in the world
09:45Is Max Blessed Holloway
09:53The highly volatile nature of BMM title fights
09:57Has resulted in a high frequency of new champions
10:01In July of 2025
10:03Holloway aimed to buck the trend
10:05And become the first to successfully defend the BMM title
10:09Against a fellow fan favorite
10:11In his retirement fight
10:13So it all comes down to this
10:15For the living legend
10:17Dustin the Diamond Poirier
10:19I was super excited
10:21Dustin is a BMM
10:23He's a very dangerous guy
10:26Max Blessed Holloway
10:27Is rimming with confidence tonight
10:29And this is a retirement fight
10:30So I was like
10:31Yeah, sign me up
10:32Coming here in enemy territory
10:34This is the ideal situation for him
10:36A guy that's gonna stand and trade with him
10:38And we got to go there
10:39And I did what I did
10:40Max Holloway is living in this moment
10:43Here to play spoiler
10:44And ruin that retirement fight
10:46Ruin the party
10:47That has been set up for Dustin Poirier
10:49We went in there in the first round
10:51And I hurt him early
10:53Oh!
10:54Early knockdown for Holloway
10:56Trying to follow up with the right hand
10:57Gets cracked with a left
10:59And I was like
11:00Wow
11:00I might be able to get out of here early
11:02Oh!
11:03Beautiful and uppercut
11:04That combination was nasty
11:05Oh!
11:06There's just so much
11:06Poirier
11:07Max is looking amazing
11:09Big ground strikes from Holloway
11:11He's got Poirier mounted now
11:12He's in a lot of trouble
11:13But he had other plans
11:15It was his retirement
11:16Oh!
11:18Now a knockdown for Poirier
11:19He jumped in the ghillie
11:23He had his whole family there
11:24He had a whole city there
11:25A whole state for him
11:26We got a face!
11:28Man, I think that really kept him going in there
11:31That right hand
11:32An absolute piston for the Hawaiian
11:34He is so fast, man
11:35When he throws a combination
11:37Beautiful sequence for Holloway
11:39Holloway has closed that gap on the power
11:41Absolutely
11:42This is an absolute scene
11:45Final round in the illustrious career of Dustin Poirier
11:49I mean, the title is a BMF
11:51The last ten seconds
11:52No matter what's going on
11:53You guys should swing
11:54Ten seconds to go!
11:57Here we go!
11:57I think it should be a BMF thing
11:59You know, you go out there
11:59You throw it out
12:00And that'll do it!
12:01What a fight!
12:02I felt like it was my night
12:04I felt on
12:05And, you know, I ended up getting my hand raised
12:09It meant a lot to me
12:10You know, with the win
12:11I was the first man to ever defend the BMF
12:15A lot of f*** coming up in this BMF, Phil
12:18Come get me
12:19Holloway's retention of the BMF title
12:21Added to an already formidable legacy
12:28While he has spent a lifetime dedicating his time to his craft
12:32The proud Hawaiian also prioritizes giving back to the community
12:36That showed their unwavering support throughout his career
12:39When tragedy struck the island of Maui in 2023
12:45Holloway, along with the UFC
12:49Would step in to aid in rebuilding the devastated district
12:54August 8th, a couple of years ago
12:56There was that historical fire in Maui County
13:01I grew up in Lahaina
13:02So, you know, being there that day
13:04And watching the community burn down
13:06My childhood burn down in front of my face
13:08It was devastating
13:16That's one of the biggest fires ever
13:18To happen anywhere
13:21So many people lost
13:22Not only their houses
13:24They lost loved ones
13:26After the fight, UFC reached out to me
13:29Said, hey, we need to do something for you guys
13:30Let's do it
13:32Dana White, the UFC, was generous enough to be a big help
13:35To build homes for the people of Maui
13:38And we're here, we get to see what they built
13:40It's always nice to get home
13:41Two months is a long time to be out of your house
13:44Let alone two years
13:48It's easy to be however many miles away
13:50And hear something happens and not feel it
13:52And really understand it
13:54But once you come to a place like this
13:56And see what's really going on
13:57It definitely impacts you
13:58And I'm really glad I came
14:00Today, we celebrate the completion of Kala'iola Maui's
14:03Largest interim housing development
14:05For wildfire survivors
14:07More than 320 families
14:09Have already moved into safe, stable homes
14:12With more on the way
14:14Us Hawaiian people, we're one
14:17What we bring, we bring that warrior spirit
14:21That mana
14:21And when I go in there
14:22All of Hawaii is with me
14:24Max is beloved here
14:26He's one of the greatest fighters of all time
14:29And he's always first to jump in for anything for Hawaii
14:32To Dana and to UFC
14:34On behalf of the families and the people of Hawaii
14:36We thank you
14:37If I can help and I can help someone else
14:39I'm going to give a lending hand
14:41And I know any of these guys
14:42If they're in my position
14:43They'll do the same thing
14:44So being able to give back
14:45That's all we want
14:59In 2025
15:01Max Holloway became the first UFC athlete
15:04To defend the BMF title
15:06Oh!
15:08Man, that Hawaiian warrior is something else
15:10Those who look to contest for the symbolic belt
15:13Must demonstrate the mentality and ability
15:16The name represents
15:17All I'm going to say
15:19A lot of f*** coming after this BMF belt
15:21Come get me
15:23And with the champion welcoming all challengers
15:26The search was on for the next in line
15:35Few fighters were as accomplished and esteemed
15:37As Brazilian warrior Charles Oliveira
15:42Emerging from the favelas of Guadujar
15:45Dubronk's climb to MMA's highest peak
15:47Oh, fish, boy
15:48Fish
15:49Give food for fish
15:50Give food for fish
15:51The former lightweight champion's success
15:54Is driven by a desire to set a positive example
15:56And build a better life for his family
15:59I'm going to live, I'm going to live, I'm going to live
16:02I think it's 100%
16:04My father and my husband are 100%
16:06Play, play, play
16:07Hey
16:07Hey
16:09I'm a father
16:10I have to show them the right path
16:12I'm going to try to teach them
16:16Everything I can
16:17Everything I can
16:17I've learned from my parents
16:21My family has a huge inspiration

20:42to Charles Oliveira went.
20:43The inspiration drawn from his family
20:45took Charles Oliveira to a UFC title,
20:48an international notoriety.
20:57The Brazilian proudly represents his country
20:59on the world stage
21:00and never strays far from his roots.
21:04Where lifelong pastimes
21:06provide a welcome balance
21:07to the often strenuous demands
21:09of a career in fighting.
21:13I was born in Santos,
21:15but I was born and raised
21:17here in Vicente Carvalho, Guarujá.
21:19What do you say to the guy who was here?
21:22My home.
21:23My home is my home.
21:25Where I am, where I am, where I am.
21:28Where I am, where I am, where I am,
21:28where I am, where I am, where I am,
21:29where I am, where my family,
21:30where I am.
21:31It's a place where I feel good.
21:33It's a place where it's a little.
21:35Here's the one.
21:37Let's go.
21:38We're in the club of Claudevain,
21:41where I am from,
21:42where I am from,
21:42where I am from.
21:50Where I am from,
21:53where I am from.
21:56I am from,
21:57where I am from.
21:58I am from one,
21:59two, three.
22:00I am from friends,
22:01my brother,
22:01when I was here.
22:03And then,
22:04I started to get a time
22:05that I helped
22:06in the competition,
22:08when I was in the competition,
22:08when I was in the competition,
22:08to help my parents
22:09to get a little more money.
22:12I took it,
22:12put it on my grandma's side.
22:16And so on,
22:17and now,
22:17I came to pick up the hall,
22:19because I like it.
22:20I came to the first portal,
22:22and I was walking.
22:24This is when I was walking,
22:26it's the only thing.
22:27You just pick up,
22:28it's just choosing.
22:29It's a lot.
22:33I'm in my bitach,
22:34and this is my bitach natural.
22:36Although the lightweight title
22:37would fall from his grasp,
22:39the support from his home nation
22:41was ever-present,
22:42as Charles continued to build
22:44on his record-breaking career,
22:45against the upper echelon
22:47of the 155-pound division.
22:49Charles Oliveira,
22:49greatest fight finisher
22:50of all time.
22:52His future undeniably
22:53is in the UFC Hall of Fame.
22:54Oh, he's herping the old...
22:55Oh, and now a big right hand!
22:56Oh, he's done him.
22:57George goes down!
22:58It's over!
22:58The all-time leader
23:00in performance bonuses.
23:01Just one of the absolute
23:02best fighters
23:03to ever compete in MMA.
23:05Oh!
23:05The most prolific finisher
23:07in UFC history.
23:08Most of his UFC records
23:10will withstand
23:11the test of time.
23:13With a BMF-worthy career
23:15already set in stone,
23:17the fan favourite
23:18was presented
23:19with the opportunity
23:20to headline
23:21in his home country.
23:22It is the main event,
23:23and it is a special atmosphere
23:24in here
23:25for the former UFC
23:26lightweight champion.
23:27And stake his claim
23:28to the one accomplishment
23:29that has so far
23:31diluted him.
23:32There is plenty
23:33of Charles Oliveira
23:35left in the tank.
23:37He said,
23:37I ain't done yet.
23:38I don't know what I'm gonna do.
23:39Maybe a BMF belt.
23:44He is a massive star globally,
23:47but an absolute hero
23:48here in Brazil.
23:54There's a shot.
23:59Onto the back.
24:00I get his hooks in.
24:01He's committing to it.
24:03And again!
24:05One of the best sensations
24:06I've ever had in my life
24:07was to see the gym
24:08down there.
24:09Carnival mode in Rio.
24:11And it's all for Charles
24:12Dubronx Oliveira.
24:14To be crowned
24:14with everything that happened,
24:16with all the training,
24:17with all the dedication,
24:18with all the victory,
24:18not only mine,
24:19but that people
24:19who were there
24:20playing and playing.
24:21You can see the emotion
24:23on the guy's face.
24:24I think, in reality,
24:25when you live in a community,
24:27when you're born in a community,
24:29you have to go back.
24:31It made me go back.
24:35I'm going to go back.
24:36and hug my family.
24:38The guy who lives in the village,
24:39in the periphery,
24:40and is there until now.
24:41And that's going to be history.
24:44Hey, Hunter.
24:45Charles Oliveira versus Max Holloway,
24:46BMF.
24:47How do we do this happen?
24:48Olivera's call to face
24:49to the BMF champion Max Holloway
24:51was answered.
24:53And the matchup was made
24:55to headline UFC 326.
24:59The upcoming bout
25:00between these two
25:01former champions
25:03is not the first time
25:05they faced off
25:06in the octagon.
25:07The pair battled over
25:09ten years ago
25:09in the early stages
25:11of their UFC careers.
25:13What's first?
25:14Bogus.
25:15Again.
25:17The first time
25:17we went Olivera,
25:18we were both young prospects.
25:20Well, when it comes
25:21to fast-paced,
25:21high-level action,
25:22few featherweights deliver
25:24like Max Holloway
25:25and Charles Oliveira.
25:27Tonight,
25:27they look to put
25:28the rest of the division
25:29on notice.
25:31Here we go
25:31with the main event.
25:32Holloway in the black trunks.
25:33Oliveira in the white
25:34immediately takes
25:35the center of the octagon.
25:37It ended in a great.
25:39Oliveira in
25:39on another attempt.
25:41And there, you'll see,
25:42that's how comedy
25:42is in his ground game.
25:43Rips you up
25:44and pulls you into his guard
25:45and very intelligent
25:46by Max Holloway.
25:47Don't play Jiu-Jitsu
25:48with this kid.
25:49Yeah, not gonna mess around
25:50on the canvas.
25:51Oh, no.
25:53Oh, it looks like
25:54an injury
25:55to the shoulder
25:56of Charles Oliveira.
25:58And now,
25:59we're ranked
26:00top five
26:01in our division.
26:03Oh, that was
26:04a good first jump, boy.
26:06It actually shows
26:06that he improved,
26:08I improved.
26:09Quick hips, huh?
26:11That jump
26:12is just bonus, you know?
26:13You want those hips
26:14getting through quick.
26:15He's a very complete
26:17fixed martial artist,
26:18so we're getting ready
26:19for everything.
26:21The quest for self-improvement
26:23has been an important factor
26:24in Holloway's long
26:25and successful career.
26:27A fact recognized
26:28by the team
26:29that helped shape
26:30a young prospect
26:31into a combat sports icon.
26:33I met Max in 2009.
26:36Right after he graduated
26:37high school,
26:39I began to think,
26:40oh, this kid has something.
26:42What's nice, kid?
26:43Oh, he just keep going up.
26:44There's a couple of things
26:45that allows him
26:46to keep fighting for so long.
26:48Five repeated across.
26:50First and foremost
26:51is his motivation
26:52and his drive
26:52to be the best version
26:54of himself every day.
26:57The fact that his career
26:58lasted this long
26:59and he's getting better
27:00every time he steps
27:01into the octagon.
27:04That's just a credit
27:05to himself.
27:06And then he's got
27:06a great medical team
27:07around him
27:07that allows him
27:08to stay healthy.
27:09Let's push it
27:10on your last set, then.
27:11Max is the baddest MFer
27:13out there.
27:14There's another guy
27:15that thinks he is.
27:16So I'm excited
27:17to see the fireworks.
27:21At the end of the day,
27:22he's deserving
27:23of the title.
27:23He's an animal,
27:24former champion.
27:26The most bonuses,
27:28the most finishes.
27:31That's pretty BMS.
27:33Charles is deserving.
27:35But anyway,
27:36I can go out there
27:36and get my hand raised.
27:38He's gonna give up
27:39or I'm gonna make him quit.
27:47When Charles Olivera fights,
27:49he fights like a berserker
27:52and there's a fire inside of him
27:54like the f***ing center
27:55of the sun.
27:56It's all risk.
27:57From the moment
27:58the first bell rings,
27:59he's coming at you.
28:01Guns blazing.
28:03F***.
28:04But Max Holloway
28:05is a real f***ing warrior.
28:07I mean, to the core.
28:09And you're just dealing
28:10with him and trying
28:11to breathe.
28:11You don't get any breath.
28:13and every time Max Holloway
28:14fights, you know
28:15it's gonna be sensational.
28:19Every time Charles Olivera
28:21comes to the octod,
28:22you know someone's
28:23getting finished
28:23one way or the other.
28:25Bobby, Bobby.
28:26My God already,
28:28this one will be
28:28an absolute blockbuster.
28:43For any UFC athlete,
28:45having a solid family support system
28:47can make all the difference
28:51between success and failure.
28:52Thank you, nice meeting you.
28:54Bye, nice meeting you.
28:55Bye.
28:55For current BMF champion
28:57Max Holloway.
28:58The encouragement he receives
29:00from his wife Alessa
29:01and son Rush.
29:02Hello.
29:03What's all that's going on here?
29:04Yeah, people had a crowd.
29:06Has made a massive impact
29:08on his career.
29:09I've been married
29:10for four years now
29:11and my wife,
29:13she means the world to me.
29:14Wow.
29:15This one, look, look.
29:16He has it on a ten.
29:17She changed my lifestyle.
29:19She made me look
29:19at things different
29:20and just a blessing.
29:22Yeah, she's looking for radiance.
29:23You wanna take a look?
29:24Thank you.
29:25Me and Max used to
29:26go to school together,
29:27so we've kind of
29:28always known about each other.
29:29How much are you
29:30telling this one for?
29:31I actually got to meet him
29:32in late 2019
29:34and then from there on
29:35we just kind of hit it off.
29:39I think one of the reasons
29:40why I'm with Max
29:42is because of Rush.
29:44When I met Rush,
29:45she was seven.
29:46He's 14 now.
29:47Rush is buying
29:48my first card.
29:50Thank you, Rush.
29:51He's the sweetest kid.
29:52He's lovable.
29:53He's smart.
29:54He's charismatic.
29:55Oh, look, mom.
29:55They have a poncho, mom.
29:56I think he got it from his dad.
29:59My wife Alyssa
30:00was able to adopt Rush.
30:02It means a lot for me
30:04and it means a lot to Rush.
30:06Here you go.
30:07Yeah.
30:07Thank you.
30:08Mom, look what I got.
30:09Oh.
30:10Don't bend though, yeah?
30:12Yeah.
30:12Rush wanted the adoption.
30:14That one's super good.
30:15There's a saying that
30:15you can't pick your family
30:17but he got to pick her
30:18and it was amazing.
30:19Oh, yeah.
30:20Chickpeas.
30:21Your favorite, Rush.
30:22No.
30:24Yeah.
30:25No.
30:25I'm gonna put more inside.
30:26No.
30:27We don't talk about
30:29our personal life too much
30:30but we did shed light
30:32about this one
30:33because there's the big wins
30:34and the big losses
30:35and this is probably,
30:36for me,
30:37one of the biggest ones
30:37I've ever had in my whole life.
30:38Oh, that's a good one.
30:41Oh, that's a good one.
30:42Oh, that's a good one, yeah.
30:43Like, I don't wanna cry
30:44because that's how much
30:45it just means to me
30:46but, um...
30:47I think you can almost
30:48fit in there.
30:48Just to finally be the person
30:51in his corner
30:52and be there for him
30:53in every way that we can
30:54it just means a lot.
30:57The reason why we put it out there
30:59was just to let fathers know
31:01or let other families know
31:02that we go through this stuff too,
31:04you know?
31:05I know it's a hard fight
31:07to keep on striving
31:08because when it's all said and done
31:10it's the greatest feeling
31:11in the world.
31:15To prepare for his upcoming BMF title bout,
31:20Charles Oliveira is back at work
31:22with his team at ShooterBox.
31:25The bond between fighter
31:26and head coach Diego Lima
31:29sprang from a meeting
31:30before Oliveira's journey
31:31inside the octagon began,
31:34when the mentor saw promise
31:36in the star at an early age.
31:39We've known Charles
31:39for a long time.
31:41At the time,
31:41he didn't even have
31:42won in MMA.
31:43What was the most
31:45interested in Charles
31:46as an athlete
31:46was how he took things
31:47fast, right?
31:48Charles is a guy
31:49who is more complete,
31:51a guy who came
31:52from Jiu Jitsu
31:53and, by the way,
31:55he took his choice
31:56and got to win
31:57the belt
31:57and fought against giants.
32:00This is the end of the
32:01fight.
32:02Here now,
32:02you.
32:04Let's go.
32:06Let's go.
32:09Let's go.
32:09The spirit of the
32:10Lord of Charles
32:10comes from his nascence.
32:12What he passed,
32:13all the obstacles
32:14that he really
32:14hit, literally,
32:17and the greatness
32:18that he reached,
32:19I think there is no one
32:20like him.
32:21What you play
32:22is your weight
32:22that you play
32:23is your weight
32:24to hold the weight
32:25of the guy
32:26behind you.
32:27All the time
32:28Everything that I've dreamed
32:29in my life
32:30I've been through
32:31for a long time.
32:31Because,
32:32mentally,
32:33physically,
32:33spiritually,
32:34I'm the guy that's going to
32:35front,
32:35this makes me
32:36get better.
32:38I don't want to
32:39stop.
32:40I don't want to stop.
32:41I don't want to stop.
32:41I don't want to stop.
32:45In this fight,
32:45we are very hard.
32:47Like Charles always
32:48trained.
32:51We know that
32:52the Max Roller
32:52has a great choice.
32:53He has a lot of volume
32:55in the striking.
32:56But,
32:57I identify Charles
32:57better than Holly
32:58in the MMA.
33:02I have a lot of respect
33:03to Holly,
33:04but I think I'm
33:05a step forward in everything.
33:06At that time,
33:07when I played
33:08against Max,
33:09I was just a man
33:10from the Jiu-Jitsu.
33:10And now,
33:11I'm a guy from MMA.
33:12I have Jiu-Jitsu
33:13afiado,
33:13I have a good match,
33:14I have a good match.
33:15I'm going to go all the time
33:16and I'm going to this fight.
33:21I'm ready,
33:21you know,
33:22it's now,
33:23it's my time.
33:23in the case.
33:38Charles Valevera's a killer.
33:40He's a finisher.
33:41He got the most bonuses
33:43in the UFC.
33:45Any fight I'm in, or any fight that Charles is in,
33:49we are pretty much hooked there all the time
33:50for being a candidate of the year.
33:52This guy will put on so much activity
33:55that most can't keep up with him.
33:57It's in Las Vegas, man.
33:58The Ninth Island.
33:59All my Hawaiians in there.
34:01The universally adored BMF champion.
34:03I can't wait to go in there again in his face.
34:06Oh!
34:07He's an absolute killer.
34:08Remind these dudes that you're the man.
34:11And we get to do the work.
34:12jeden z najlepszych zawodów w każdej dziewczyny, nigdy.
34:17Nie człowiek jest wierzeć do czynienia.
34:19Z pewnością, muszę się walczyć, rozumiesz?
34:25One of the most exciting and best fighters
34:28that the sport's ever seen.
34:30If you want war, I'm in the war.
34:31If you want to go out, I'll go out.
34:32DominujÄ… w weight class.
34:34For years.
34:37One of the most accomplished mixed martial arts
34:41niektórych zawodów.
34:42Charles, niektórych zawodów.
34:45If it's the fifth round, 10 seconds left.
34:49I'm always down to point down,
34:50no matter what way the fight is going for me.
34:52Oh, big connection late!
34:54Oh, boy!
34:55That is the right hand!
34:57Slept him!
35:06Oh!
35:13Oh!
35:13The end of the six.
35:14I'm going to pass to the team
35:15simply because I'm BMF,
