00:16We are in Las Vegas, Nevada tonight at a sold-out T-Mobile Arena for UFC 326 Holloway vs. Oliveira
00:232.
00:23And the rematch between two of the baddest men to ever grace the world-famous Octagon, Max Holloway.
00:30And Charles Oliveira.
00:36And now live inside T-Mobile Arena here in Las Vegas, it is time for the main event for UFC
00:41326 Holloway vs. Oliveira 2.
00:44So with legacies secured and legendary statuses attained, Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira have arrived on the proven ground once
00:52more.
00:52And for the Brazilian underdog, a chance to add another belt to his crowded mantle.
01:01All that I've ever dreamed, I've already surpassed it for a long time.
01:05All the baddest men were against it.
01:07The man who came from the favela, from the periphery, and is there until now.
01:10Journeys led the one of Charles Oliveira about what this sport is all about.
01:16He was kind of known as a guy who fell apart.
01:19And he just turned a corner and then became the baddest motherfucker in the weight class.
01:24Not just the baddest motherfucker in the weight class, but one of the best motherfucker in the sport.
01:27One of the most accomplished mixed martial arts athletes of all time.
01:44He's a true finisher, hyper-aggressive.
01:49The all-time leader in performance bonuses, in submissions and finishes.
01:59He became the champion, became an absolute killer.
02:02Oh!
02:03Took out legend after legend.
02:07And again!
02:09And another!
02:10And another!
02:11And another!
02:11The guy who's looking for the whole time.
02:13If I'm not counting, I'll finish.
02:14This is a BMF.
02:16What is left for Charles Oliveira to achieve?
02:19Charles Oliveira vs Max Hall of BMF.
02:21Let's make it happen!
02:23The baddest mother effort in the toughest sport in the world is Max Blessed Holloway.
02:28Hey!
02:29A lot of the coming out of this BMF, man!
02:32Come get me!
02:33I'm not just that, sir!
02:34Max Holloway is a dog, man.
02:36This dude loves to fight.
02:37Man, that Hawaiian warrior is something else.
02:40You know when I get into a fight, it's going to be a fight.
02:42If you tell me I can't do something, I'm going to tell you, watch me.
02:45Holloway all over.
02:47Oh!
02:47That's it!
02:48That is it!
02:49I just love to put on a show.
02:50I go out there and make fans remember moments.
02:53Holloway just told them, they're right here!
02:56Everybody acts like they want to do that.
02:58Max is the only guy that actually wants to do it.
03:00Oh!
03:02Oh!
03:03That'll do it!
03:04With one second to go!
03:06Wow!
03:06Max Holloway wins the BMF title!
03:10My God!
03:11In a fight, he's winning!
03:12That's a B or not!
03:14That's what the f***ing BMF is all about.
03:17That's why Max Holloway is beloved.
03:20All I gotta say, I'm him!
03:22I'm him, guys!
03:24I can't go through my career and say this guy was in a boring fight.
03:27Same thing with Charles Oliveira.
03:29He's a fan favorite, and I'm a fan favorite.
03:32I'm just going to say you're welcome right now,
03:34because he has everything for a treat.
03:37This would be a rematch.
03:38These guys fought in 2015, ten years ago.
03:41Oh, it looks like an injury.
03:43Oh, no!
03:44It ended in a f***ed way, so we're going to run it back.
03:47It took ten years, but we'll finally get to settle and finish business.
03:51At that time, when I fought with Max, I was just a jiu-jitsu guy.
03:55And today, I'm the MMA guy.
03:57The Charles Oliveira that you see standing in front of you is a nightmare.
04:00Oh, and now a big right hand!
04:03Tardews got down!
04:04If you want a war, I'm in the war.
04:05If you want to get out of the war, I'm going to get out of the war.
04:07Oh, my goodness!
04:09This dude's right here, man!
04:11He's a very dangerous guy, but at the end of the day, my self-confidence is unbreakable.
04:18If there's a fifth round, ten seconds left, I'm always down to point down, no matter
04:22what way the fight is going for me.
04:24Holloway going off the plate!
04:26That's a real warrior!
04:28If Holloway me call me, I'm going to say to him, let's go.
04:31We're going to deliver his life here.
04:33We're going to see who he is, who he is, who he is, who he is.
04:38Wow!
04:39Power from Charles Oliveira!
04:41I'm going to go out there and fire my heart out.
04:43I know I'm going to hit him a lot.
04:45He's going to give up, or I'm going to make him play.
04:49Holloway sending a message tonight!
04:51No matter how much I'm suffering, I don't want to stop.
04:54I'm not going to stop.
04:55I'm ready, you know?
04:57It's now, it's my time.
05:21Have a nice day!
05:24Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
05:31Go ahead and call me!
05:34Go λ°οΏ½ energΓa!
05:362004 timeframe 100 or νλλ°...
05:38I got to you!
05:38He got him!
05:40I got him!
05:40I got him!
05:41He got him!
05:42I got him!
05:43It's my bad shit!
05:45He got him.
05:46Go!
05:47It's hell!
05:55Well, maybe someday I won't get nervous in StarSharp when Charles Oliveira walks into a fighter meeting.
06:01The man just oozes legend as he makes the walk for his 37th UFC appearance.
06:07Joe, you called his UFC debut when he was 20 years in age, a 41-second arm bar of Darren
06:12Elkins.
06:12In his 28th UFC fight, he won the Undisputed Lightweight title.
06:16And he is chasing yet more gold and greatness here, too.
06:19What a transformation this guy went through from the beginning of his career.
06:22I mean, it's really extraordinary.
06:24I can't think of any other fighter who went from being a guy who was known for falling apart
06:29to being just this unstoppable force and one of the greatest submission artists, if not the greatest, that's ever competed
06:36in the sport.
06:37And the way he defended the title, won the title and defended it.
06:41It was not playing safe. It was wading into the fire and enforcing his will, just imposing it on people.
06:51Outstanding striking, outstanding octagon IQ.
06:55I mean, he is the real deal. One of the best to ever do it.
06:58He's the real deal, man.
06:59And, John, I don't mean to correct you, but we'll never not get starstruck.
07:04And Charles Oliveira walks in. He's the man, bro. He's always smiling, always enjoying his time.
07:10You saw his father there. First time in the crowd, he was going crazy, smiling the whole week.
07:16Now I can see where Charles gets it.
07:17But, Joe, everything you said, so true.
07:20His title reigns. You would talk to people, they go, at some point he's going to get knocked out.
07:25But, boy, it is fun while it's happening.
07:28Because every fight was so good, because he always lays it on the line.
07:33Charles Oliveira is the man.
07:34And, you know, the reputation of being a quitter is something you don't come back from.
07:40Charles not only came back from it, he threw it in the garbage can, left it there, and became one
07:46of the greatest of all time.
07:47This guy deserves his flowers.
07:49He became a completely different human being.
07:50And no one even remembers those days.
07:52You have to bring it up, and only, like, the old heads know it.
07:56I mean, this guy is an absolutely extraordinary human being.
08:00And a great example for anybody that's ever gone through adversity in any career that you can overcome, and you
08:06can be better than you ever were before.
08:08As for this fight, he said he has never come into a bout as well physically prepared as he is
08:15right now.
08:15He says, I'm not trying to drag this thing along.
08:17And the word he kept invoking in our fighter meeting was hunt.
08:21We'll see if he can successfully hunt his high-level prey tonight as we now await the defending BMF champion,
08:30Max Rust Halloway.
11:03You were like a small head with big ears because you were so young.
11:04And just say world champion.
11:06And if you can defend the BMF title for the second time, you can really start to say, hey, I
11:10deserve a shot at 155-pound belt.
11:13Sean, don't look at me.
11:14The wealth of experience that these two men carry into the octagon is just absolutely extraordinary.
11:23I'm so happy that he's decided to fight the remainder of his career at 155.
11:29I think at 155, he's extraordinary.
11:31Just an all-time great Max Holloway and an honor to watch him perform.

16:29Buka's nuts, man.
16:32Here we go.
16:33BMF title is on the line.
16:35Charles Oliveira in black.
16:37Oh.
16:37That's all the way in the floor of the charts.
16:39Big leg kick by Charles.
16:40Another one.
16:41Oh, my goodness.
16:44If you remember,
16:46Alexander Volkanovski found a lot of success
16:48with low kicks with Max,
16:50but they weren't hard like Charles throws him.
16:55Good one.
16:56Holloway followed it up with another jab.
16:58Nice combo by Max.
17:02Charles was on the hunt.
17:05Oh!
17:06Early takedown for two brooks.
17:08Wow.
17:09Man, did you see Charles grabbing?
17:11He's so big and strong.
17:12And this is worst-case scenario
17:14against a guy like Oliveira.
17:16When you're still trying,
17:17you have to grapple with him like this.
17:19And he is a sensational jiu-jitsu expert.
17:24One of the best to ever do it.
17:27But we saw that in the fight
17:29with Ganrod.
17:31Oh, yeah.
17:31Ganrod is so good.
17:33Such a dangerous grappler.
17:34He looked lost.
17:35Tied him up with knots.
17:36Yeah, he looked lost against Charles.
17:41Neon belly.
17:42Look at this.
17:43Just advancing.
17:48Dominating on the ground here.
17:53Side control.
17:54About a minute gone by round one.
18:0022 career submission wins
18:02for the UFC's all-time leader,
18:04Charles Oliveira.
18:05This is a bad, bad position for Max.
18:13Max has got to be better careful here.
18:15Giving his back up.
18:16This is very dangerous.
18:18He better attack those hands.
18:20Charles is as good here as anyone.
18:22Anyone.
18:23And so good at staying on your back like this.
18:27Oh, he's on the face.
18:29Oh, man.
18:30He can tap squeeze.
18:32He can tap it from there.
18:36You cannot give your back
18:38against Charles Oliveira.
18:39This is terrible.
18:41Terrible for Max.
18:42Just across the face,
18:44he could put him to sleep.
18:46All the way turning into the choke.
18:48Trying to fight the hands.
18:49Out for now.
18:50Max did a great job defending there.
18:51But it's so dangerous here.
18:54This is such a bad position
18:55while they're dry.
18:57And Max is on his...
18:59Oh, it's starting to get it tighter.
19:01Full strength.
19:02If I'm Max,
19:03I'm going back to my back.
19:05I'd rather have him
19:06on top of me
19:07in the side control
19:08or half guard
19:09than this.
19:10The thing is,
19:11Oliveira's not going to let him.
19:12Especially in the position
19:13they're in right now
19:14with his back to the cage
19:15to prevent Max
19:16from squirming out of this.
19:20Holloway has been submitted
19:21one time in his career.
19:22It was his short notice
19:23UFC debut
19:24against Dustin Poirier
19:26when he was 20 years old.
19:28Max is doing a really good job
19:30of defending here.
19:31The problem is
19:32Oliveira changed them.
19:33He attacks one side.
19:34He attacks the other side.
19:36You defend one.
19:36He's setting up a trap
19:38on the other side.
19:39And it happens really fast.
19:41It happens really fast
19:43when the neck slips under.
19:44The arm slips under the neck.
19:46I remember the
19:46Dustin Poirier choke.
19:48Right?
19:49He was punching him
19:49a little bit.
19:50Dustin thought he was defending
19:51and all of a sudden,
19:52bam.
19:53Justin Gaethje also.
19:54All of his submissions.
19:57He almost lures you
19:58to sleep
19:58and then next thing you know
19:59he's submitting you.
20:06Oh, big elbow
20:07from Oliveira
20:08still maintaining control
20:09of the back.
20:21He's doing a great job
20:23of defending right now.
20:23He's just hand-fighting
20:24the whole time.
20:27Peel.
20:28Seal.
20:28He peels it.
20:29He seals it.
20:30Keeps moving sides.
20:31Never allowing Charles
20:32to truly get a hold of much.
20:35He's got one more minute
20:36to survive.
20:37And it's all about
20:37survival right now.
20:38Yeah, that's it.
20:39Just defend
20:40and survive.
20:43Oh.
20:47Neck crank.
20:50Oh, nice fun call.
20:51Good job.
20:52Good job by Max.
20:53Wow.
20:54Excellent defense by Max.
20:56I just don't know
20:56that you're going to submit
20:57Max Holloway
20:58with a neck crank.
20:59We have to put him to sleep
21:00or get it in and choke him.
21:04A wide smile from Holloway.
21:13A wide smile from Holloway.
21:18Holloway perhaps understanding
21:20that he is going to make it
21:22through this round
21:23and realize a second.
21:26And what does this
21:27have an effect on Charles?
21:28This was an ideal position
21:30for four minutes
21:31when you were fresh
21:32and you couldn't submit him.
21:34That's true,
21:35but complete domination.
21:37Yes, domination.
21:40And an easy take down.
21:42And now you've got to do it again.
21:43And hurting him
21:44standing up, too.
21:55Good, he feels strong.
21:58Inside position.
21:59Can't get lazy.
22:01You've got to stay in the middle.
22:06He's going to come out tired.
22:08He's still going to...
22:13Use the front kick
22:14and go right...
22:15Because you saw how you dominated.
22:16Let's...
22:17Listen, right now,
22:19you know he's going up
22:20a little bit.
22:21Look, he's going to try
22:22to go over you, okay?
22:23He's going to try
22:24to put the hand over
22:25in that left shoulder
22:27of yours, okay?
22:30I believe it was
22:31Michael Nakagawa
22:32who asked Max Holloway
22:33if Charles felt strong.
22:34He responded, no.
22:37Holloway survives round one.
22:3810-9, Olivera.
22:42Charles credited
22:42with two submission attempts
22:44in that opening round.
22:45The first fighter
22:45to even be credited
22:46with an attempt
22:47on Holloway
22:48since Poirier back in 2012.
22:53Oh, Olivera's corner
22:54after more.
22:56Front kicks up the middle.
22:57Max has got to get on his bike,
22:58moving like that.
22:59Yes.
22:59Max has to hit him
23:01and move.
23:03Body kick is there
23:04for Olivera.
23:06Olivera times the take.
23:07Times the front kick.
23:09Gets to the body.
23:10Olivera is so strong.
23:12Oh, it's strong.
23:14He just flips him up
23:16in the air.
23:17He throws out Max.
23:21So about 30 seconds
23:22into round two,
23:23another takedown
23:24for Olivera.
23:25And the danger is,
23:26and the dangerous thing
23:28for Holloway is
23:29they aren't hard takedowns.
23:31No.
23:31He's not wasting energy
23:33getting these takedowns.
23:37It just shows
23:38how physically strong
23:39Charles is.
23:40He just hoists him
23:41up in the air
23:42and slams him.
23:42It's like Khabib
23:43and Islam
23:44and they take the single,
23:45lift you up,
23:46then trip the other leg.
23:47It's an amazing takedown
23:48if you can do it.
23:49Now he's got the back trip.
23:50So he caught the wrist
23:51over there
23:52and pulled Max
23:52away from the
23:53gaping on time.
23:55He's just so dominant
23:56on the ground.
23:57It's such a different level
23:59than anything
24:00Max has experienced before.
24:01When we asked these guys
24:03earlier in the week,
24:03I said,
24:04where's the biggest gap?
24:06Is it you're,
24:08oh my goodness.
24:09Oh.
24:10I said,
24:11is it you're grappling
24:12over Max?
24:12He goes,
24:13I can strike with him.
24:14He goes,
24:15I don't think Max Holloway
24:16can grapple with me.
24:17He's got a rear naked choke
24:18with the arm in.
24:20Yeah.
24:20And this works.
24:21And if Max turns back
24:22towards him,
24:23or I'm trying.
24:24Well,
24:24especially with the length
24:25that Oliveira has,
24:27this could be it.
24:28It's tight.
24:29It's going to get tight
24:29here in a second.
24:32Max is doing a good job
24:33of putting pressure
24:34on the choking arm
24:35to keep it away.
24:37Using his right arm
24:39to pressure that choking arm
24:42to keep it from fully sealing
24:43off his arteries.
24:45Right.
24:46But man,
24:47this is a dangerous place
24:48for Max Holloway.
24:50A lot of pressure
24:51on the chin
24:52and the jaw.
24:53Oh,
24:53he's going under the jaw.
24:55He's got it.
24:57Max is in real trouble here.
25:01Wow.
25:02This is the definition
25:03that Oliveira needs to do.
25:05He's got to start
25:06landing shots.
25:07It's the only way
25:08to open Max up.
25:09But he's doing this
25:10from that body triangle,
25:11so Max can't even
25:12get out of there.
25:13He's so big
25:14for this weight class.
25:15The fact that this guy
25:16caught at 145 is crazy.
25:18Well, I think that
25:18contributed to a lot
25:19of the problems
25:20that he had early
25:20in his career
25:22because he was so weak
25:24just from making the weight.
25:26Max needs to get
25:27that body triangle
25:28foot on the other side,
25:29try to get weight on it,
25:30to use his feet
25:31to try to break
25:32Charles Oliveira's
25:34left leg
25:34out of the body triangle.
25:36Cannot let him sit
25:37with his knee on the mat.
25:37Yeah, he's trying
25:38to do the weight
25:39on that foot
25:40to put pressure
25:42on that ankle.
25:44Big slicing elbows
25:45from Oliveira.
25:46Oh, Max didn't like
25:47that one.
25:48These are hard.
25:51He's on the right side
25:52with the body triangle
25:53now, but let's see
25:54if Oliveira adjusts
25:55and just mounts it.
25:59Oliveira is just a
26:00monster on the ground,
26:02man.
26:02He is a constrictor.
26:03No, this is tight.
26:04Oh, he's in trouble.
26:05Oh, yeah.
26:06He's in real trouble.
26:07Now this is tight.
26:09But Max,
26:09let's keep right in the hands.
26:10Wow.
26:12Just tells you about
26:13Max Holloway, right?
26:14He will not give up
26:14on himself.
26:15So many guys
26:16will tap to that.
26:18You've got to think
26:19he's spent a lot of time
26:20in this position
26:21in training.
26:22But with who, right?
26:23Is he doing it
26:24with a guy at this level?
26:26This is the thing.
26:27When you go in there
26:28with a jiu-jitsu guy
26:29that's at that level,
26:30it's so humble
26:32because he's got
26:33no chance
26:35offensively on the ground.
26:36He's just surviving.
26:41He's got to survive
26:42another minute
26:42here in round two.
26:44Olivera maintains
26:45his body changes.
26:46He's got to be very careful
26:47that sneaky right hand, too,
26:48because the right hand
26:49is under his armpit
26:50right now.
26:51But he's going to
26:52continually adjust it.
26:53Make him defend
26:54one side
26:55and then set up
26:56the other side.
26:56And then perhaps
26:57trap one of the arms.
27:00Now right here,
27:01Holloway needs to start
27:02using his feet
27:02to try to kick
27:04Charles' left foot
27:06and move it forward
27:07so he can try to slip
27:08that body triangle off.
27:10Yeah, you see him
27:11doing that now.
27:11Yeah, he's got to use
27:12his right foot
27:13to slide it away
27:14from him
27:14and then try to
27:15then use his knee
27:16to come back inside.
27:21Four submission attempts
27:22thus far.
27:23North of eight minutes
27:24of ground control time
27:25for Olivera.
27:28This is another
27:29completely dominant ground
27:30for Charles' Olivera.
27:34If you're Team Holloway,
27:35you have to tell him
27:36he cannot give up
27:37take-downs.
27:37Now,
27:38if I'm playing devil's advocate,
27:39the one thing Charles
27:40did not do
27:41is much damage
27:42on the top.
27:43He could have beat on
27:44Max a little bit more
27:45to kind of get him
27:47tireder
27:47and a little bit more
27:48beat
27:49going into round three.
27:52Look at this takedown.
27:54Trips him
27:55on top
27:56and look at this elbow.
27:57Yeah, more of that.
27:58From the back.
27:59Nasty.
28:05And from the side.
28:05Under hooks
28:06to defend the shot.
28:07Old school wrestling style.
28:08If not,
28:09you can do
28:09lower hand position,
28:10block the wrist.
28:11Okay?
28:12Just make sure
28:13one protects
28:15Maxwell on defense.
28:17Faster on the feet.
28:18Which is walks for now.
28:20Okay?
28:20Head moves forward
28:21or not.
28:21Be sure.
28:22Dude,
28:23we won the first
28:24two rounds
28:25by a lot.
28:25By a lot.
28:26He's fielded right now.
28:29Listen.
28:31We cannot make mistakes
28:32right now.
28:33Okay?
28:33This is a two-to-one
28:34favorite
28:34for Max Holliday.
28:36They've got to be
28:36questioning their oddsmakers
28:37right now.
28:39Well, you said
28:41it's not for the show.
28:41Yeah.
28:42It was very surprising.
28:43Especially considering
28:44the matchup.
28:48Round three of a
28:49possible five
28:50to decide
28:52the BMF championship.
28:54Ivan Flores,
28:55Michael Nakagawa,
28:57Rylan Lazarus
28:57in the corner.
28:58Holloway
28:58wanting him to box.
29:00Yeah,
29:00that's for those
29:01under hooks.
29:02That's very smart,
29:03John.
29:03Oh!
29:05They said
29:06only boxing for now.
29:07Do not kick
29:08if you're Team Holloway.
29:09But the problem is
29:11Oliveira's a terrifying
29:12striker.
29:13Yes, he is.
29:15And since he's not
29:16worried about being
29:17taken down,
29:18he can throw
29:18with reckless abandon.
29:19Yep.
29:21Big right hand
29:21from Holloway
29:22a moment ago.
29:23Oliveira said
29:24when he was
29:25in the UFC before,
29:26he was a kid
29:28amongst Lions.
29:29He said
29:30now he's the Lion.
29:32Oh!
29:34Holloway's able to post
29:36and stay upright
29:37at least for now.
29:39The thing is
29:40when Oliveira
29:41has to clinch on him,
29:42he's so much
29:43stronger than him.
29:45And Max is not
29:46underhooking.
29:47He's got to
29:48pummel more.
29:49Like right here,
29:49that right overhook
29:50is almost keeping
29:51Oliveira in
29:52to his body.
29:54He's got to start
29:54digging underhooks
29:55to try to get
29:56Oliveira away from him.
29:58Now,
29:58to this point,
29:59this is the first
30:00takedown that he's
30:00actually defended.
30:06Still defending it.
30:08Wow!
30:10Mid-air adjustment
30:11by Oliveira!
30:12Wow!
30:14Grinding out of space
30:16with that elbow.
30:18Side control
30:20for Oliveira.
30:22Watch for Oliveira
30:24to start landing
30:24elbows here.
30:27Diego Lima at the
30:28shootbox corner
30:29calling for some
30:30damage to be
30:31inflicted by Charles.
30:34Three takedowns on
30:35seven attempts
30:35for the Brazilian.
30:42and the crowd's
30:43booing a little bit
30:44but honestly,
30:45this is plan A, B, and C
30:48for Oliveira
30:48and when it's working
30:50to this level,
30:50you keep going to it.
30:51Anybody's booing
30:52as a casual.
30:53Yeah.
30:54Because this is
30:54beautiful grappling
30:55by New Bronx.
30:56Full mount.
30:57The way he has moved
30:59around Max Holloway
31:00is crazy.
31:00Crazy.
31:01Yeah.
31:03Holloway
31:04has at least
31:05trapped the ankle
31:06so it's like
31:07quarter mount right now.
31:08Yep, three quarter mount
31:09which is still
31:10a great position.
31:14But the thing is
31:14Charles is literally
31:15just looking for
31:16submissions the whole time.
31:18Yeah.
31:19He's not posturing
31:20and hitting him
31:21as much as he possibly can.
31:22He's just trying
31:23to find that submission.
31:24It's full mount now.
31:26He's got an arm triangle
31:26set up here, Joe.
31:28Look at his right arm
31:30coming apart
31:30of the armpit.
31:42Slicing elbow
31:42up the middle
31:43by Oliveira.
31:46Holloway came in
31:47with a takedown defense
31:48north of 80%.
31:55And he saw some
31:5610-8 start to trickle
31:57out there potentially
31:58in that second round.
32:00Yep, I saw that.
32:00Oliveira.
32:08Less than two minutes
32:12here in round three.
32:14Well, this is how
32:15you neutralize
32:17Max Holloway striking.
32:18You make it a ground fight.
32:19I mean, this is
32:20complete domination.
32:24It's kind of a shock
32:25but we've never seen
32:26Max controlled
32:27like this before.
32:29And he fought
32:30some really
32:31eye-level grapplers.
32:32We've never seen
32:33anyone do this to him.
32:35Well, this is the
32:36greatest submission
32:36artist in the sport.
32:38It really is.
32:40Holloway's got a final
32:41way to the octagon side.
32:43He's got it.
32:44But again,
32:44you can't give your back
32:45because if you give
32:46your back,
32:47he just takes it
32:47and you're stuck there.
32:48He just can't
32:49let this dude touch him.
32:51He can't let him
32:52grab him.
32:54But Max's style
32:55is the pressure.
32:56Right?
32:56And because he wants
32:57the pressure to get
32:58forward,
32:58he brings himself
33:00into the range
33:02that Olivera can grab.
33:03Oh, nice elbow
33:05by Olivera.
33:0650 segundos.
33:0750 segundos.
33:08I wish I could speak
33:14Portuguese.
33:14Oh, I need it.
33:15They're yelling out
33:16some cool stuff.
33:17Let's have a good.
33:20Well, every MMA round
33:21begins on the feet.
33:25Charles Olivera
33:26has made sure
33:27to take this
33:28into his world
33:28every round.
33:2930 seconds now
33:30in round three.
33:30And every time
33:31the round starts
33:32on the feet,
33:33J.A.,
33:34once you've rolled him
33:35for 14 minutes,
33:37he's less dangerous
33:38than he was
33:39at the beginning
33:39of round one.
33:40Then he's less
33:42when round two
33:42starts round three.
33:43By the time
33:44he gets to round four,
33:45that danger level
33:46is really low.
33:47in terms of him
33:48and his power
33:49he punches.
33:50And to Joe's point,
33:51Charles has been
33:52the more effective
33:53striker tonight
33:54as well.
33:57Tomahawk elbow.
33:59Oh, two blocks
34:01through 15.
34:05Right here you see
34:06a beautiful knee there
34:07by Charles Olivera.
34:09I mean,
34:10he was trying
34:10to throw a kick
34:11and Max almost
34:12dipped into the knee.
34:14And then look
34:14at this takedown.
34:15He steps around
34:16to throw him.
34:17lifts him up.
34:19Max tries to wrestle
34:20but then Charles
34:21just drops the hip,
34:22lands on top
34:23and then they
34:24spit that
34:25rest of that round
34:27on his back.
34:30You can see that
34:31Charles Olivera's
34:32big.
34:33I wonder what
34:34he weighs tonight
34:35opposed to Max Holloway.
34:36Because this is the guy
34:37that has been a lightweight
34:38much longer
34:39and he looks
34:40much bigger
34:41than that.
34:42He's going to keep
34:43crowding in it.
34:43after long.
34:47We don't stop fighting.
34:50He's smart.
34:51Let's go.
34:51Let's go.
34:54Long block.
34:57All right.
34:58Tonight's championship
34:59rounds are brought
35:00to you by Ram
35:01Shrugs.
35:02Nothing stops
35:03Ram.
35:05Well,
35:05Charles Olivera
35:06told us this week
35:07that in terms of his
35:08health,
35:08he has never come
35:09into a fight week
35:10this healthy.
35:11He has also never
35:12been more physically
35:13prepared.
35:15Fourth round
35:16out of a possible
35:16fight.
35:17Max has got to
35:18back up.
35:19Max has got to
35:19counter a little
35:20bit more.
35:21Cannot go forward.
35:23And you know what?
35:24I saw it just
35:24on the belt.
35:25You okay?
35:26Are you sure?
35:26The other thing is
35:28Charles is so
35:29comfortable grappling
35:30he's not fatigued.
35:32This is what he does.
35:34Nice low kick
35:34by Charles.
35:41Oh,
35:41that's a big stick
35:43with that lean hand
35:43by Holloway.
35:44That was a good
35:44shot there by Max.
35:54Oh,
35:55Olivera right
35:56on his hips.
35:57And when they get
35:58to this clinch,
35:59Holloway is not
36:00reacting fast enough.
36:02I don't think
36:02he has anything left.
36:04Look at how
36:05Charles sucks him
36:05in.
36:05Good job by Max
36:06here.
36:08But then he just
36:09re-grips.
36:10Right here is when
36:11Max needs to be
36:12dropping his right
36:13hip to get that
36:14underhook up.
36:17Coach Dean Thomas,
36:18what do you got?
36:19Well, here's Max's
36:20biggest problem
36:20other than being
36:22outmatched on the ground.
36:23Max is notoriously
36:25a volume puncher.
36:26But we do know that he
36:27has power.
36:28He has to sit down
36:29on his punches
36:30when he's in the middle
36:31because right now
36:32he's volume punching
36:32on the outside
36:33and he's getting mugged
36:35trying to volume punch.
36:36When he's in the middle,
36:38he's got to sit down
36:39on his punches.
36:39I think that was something
36:41that we kind of missed
36:42on New Bronx
36:42during that tremendous
36:44title reign
36:45was his pressure,
36:47his striking.
36:49While he might have
36:50got hurt some,
36:51but he would just
36:51make these guys
36:52back up the whole time
36:53like overwhelming them.
36:55And honestly,
36:56the only two people
36:57that have been able
36:57to figure that
36:58is Tom Akachev
36:59and Ilya Taborian.
37:01Everybody else
37:02has been kind of
37:03overran
37:03by Charles Oliveira.
37:05He fought a hard
37:0615-minute competitive
37:07fight against
37:08Ramon Sarokyan.
37:09He did.
37:10And that was a very
37:11close fight.
37:13But in terms of
37:14just stopping him
37:15from coming forward,
37:16it has not been
37:17an easy thing to do.
37:20When he did it
37:21to Tony Ferguson
37:22back in the day
37:22when Tony was still Tony,
37:24I thought to myself,
37:25wow,
37:25Charles Oliveira
37:26has really turned the point.
37:28Well,
37:28Max Holloway's
37:29submission defense
37:29has certainly held up.
37:32But he has been
37:33taken down largely
37:34at will.
37:35And once in every round,
37:38why Dubrox?
37:39In every takedown,
37:42just led to the end
37:43of the round.
37:44He never got up
37:45once he got put
37:46on the ground yet.
37:48It's been dominated
37:49by Charles.
37:52Holloway had never
37:53been controlled
37:53more than six minutes
37:54on the ground
37:55in any fight
37:56north of 14 minutes
37:58of control time.
37:59Charles is dominating
38:00the stand-up as well.
38:03Especially now.
38:14Charles just sticks to him
38:16like glue.
38:18Oh,
38:18this is nasty.
38:27Charles may try to
38:29capture one of these
38:30arms now.
38:31Yeah.
38:31He's hitting him
38:32with these heels
38:33and if Max tries
38:35to defend,
38:36if he can push down
38:37on the wrist,
38:38if he can grab ahold
38:38of Max's right wrist
38:39in particular,
38:40he can capture it
38:41with his right leg.
38:42and then Max only
38:43has one arm
38:44to defend the choke
38:45and that's just doom.
38:46Or Joey can take
38:47an arm bar
38:48if Max tries to turn
38:49too quickly.
38:50He's got to be careful
38:50because this guy
38:51has all those skills.
38:52Well, he's punishing
38:53his leg with the heel
38:54and he can punish
38:55the arm with the heel
38:55as well.
38:59Max still look up
39:00at the time.
39:03You see these casuals
39:05go all the time.
39:08How do you not
39:09appreciate this
39:10complete domination
39:11by a master?
39:13So now he's got
39:14the wrist.
39:15See that move
39:15that Charles just
39:16did right there?
39:17What he's trying
39:18to do is catch
39:20Max's wrist
39:21and push it down.
39:22And if he does that,
39:24that's curtains.
39:28Under a minute now
39:29to go in round four.
39:32He's punishing
39:33the leg with that heel.
39:40He's also trying
39:41to get Max's arm
39:43off of his left arm.
39:45He might switch
39:46to a twister here.
39:47Oh!
39:51Oliveira's been
39:52methodical with his
39:53strikes,
39:53accurate as well.
39:56Yeah, look at that.
39:57Oliveira landing
39:5779% of his
39:59significant strikes.
40:00I mean,
40:01impressive defense
40:02by Max.
40:03Yes.
40:04And just the real
40:06he's going to survive
40:07because he's been
40:08put in a terrible
40:09situation,
40:10a terrible situation
40:11from the beginning
40:12of the first round.
40:17All right,
40:1720 minutes down,
40:18five or fewer
40:19to go.
40:25Sit.
40:27I'll see.
40:28Breathe.
40:28Recover.
40:29Breathe.
40:30Recover.
40:33You've got to
40:33stay in the middle.
40:34Yeah, I know.
40:35You've got enough
40:36in the middle, Max.
40:37You've got enough
40:37in the middle, brother.
40:39Bro,
40:40this is it.
40:40You've got to dig
40:41deep, okay?
40:42You've got to put
40:43them away,
40:43but you've got to
40:44be smart,
40:45okay?
40:46And you've got to
40:47protect yourself
40:47on the way out.
40:49Yeah, after you land,
40:50you've got to move
40:50after it's, okay?
40:51Everything we've
40:52always done.
40:53No straight back.
40:55Put them down.
40:56Get at an angle.
40:58Now you have to
40:59faint it.
41:00Faint for it.
41:01Let him get lost.
41:02Just to get fainted.
41:04Always with the front
41:05kicks, okay?
41:06last round.
41:09Same thing.
41:09Last round.
41:11Just move.
41:11Listen.
41:12Use your front kicks.
41:14Step on his knee
41:16and don't stay still.
41:18Fifth and final round
41:19to decide the BMF title.
41:21We'll see if Max Holloway
41:23can land something
41:24of consequence
41:24early in the round.
41:27Charles Oliveira
41:28could be one
41:30takedown away.
41:32And if you're Holloway,
41:33you need this time.
41:34Yep.
41:35You need every second
41:36of this fight.
41:43Oh!
41:44Oh!
41:45Big white hand
41:45on the follow!
41:48Need of the body
41:49for Holloway.
41:52Oh, great job
41:53of Holloway on top!
41:55Holloway's on top!
41:57This is huge
41:58for Max.
41:58Yeah, but I think
41:59Max has got to
42:00disengage here, man.
42:01You just kind of
42:02play in the game.
42:03He needs
42:05all this time
42:05on his feet
42:06to try to go
42:07and find a shot
42:08that can knock him out.
42:09Because I don't
42:10imagine he'll
42:10submit him
42:11or this will happen.
42:13So I'll do reverse him.
42:14He's gathering up
42:15the left ankle.
42:18Max has got to do
42:19everything he can
42:20to prevent this
42:20from happening.
42:22But Charles is just
42:23moments away
42:24from potentially
42:25sweeping him here.
42:30Max needs to just
42:31start punching
42:31elbow and doing
42:32everything he can
42:33to get damage
42:33off on New Bronx.
42:35Because like you said,
42:36it's only a matter of time
42:37before he reverses him.
42:39If he can get
42:40some leverage
42:41going back towards
42:42Max Holloway,
42:43he's going to come
42:44on top here.
42:46He'll start to rock
42:47back and forth
42:48to try to build
42:49leverage.
42:52Holloway trying to make
42:53some of these
42:55shots count.
42:56They just don't have
42:56any power to him
42:57in that position.
42:58And he should start
42:59sprawling.
43:00He's got to start
43:00sprawling getting his
43:01hip back
43:02from Charles.
43:09There it is.
43:09There it is.
43:10He's rocking and rolling
43:12as he gathers up
43:13that left ankle.
43:14That's going to be a
43:15problem.
43:17Max should just stay
43:18here and stall.
43:19Get a restart.
43:20He should stay here,
43:21right here,
43:22and just try to stall
43:23to get put back
43:24to his feet.
43:29Yep.
43:30There it is.
43:30Yeah,
43:31and it's a matter
43:31of time
43:32with Olivera.
43:33He's going to go back
43:34and get a takedown.
43:35There it is.
43:37Nice shot by Mark
43:38Goddard allowing
43:38the athletes to work
43:39through it under
43:40three minutes now
43:41to go.
43:42It felt like they
43:43were going to do
43:43a restart for a
43:45second there,
43:46but Holloway
43:47didn't disengage.
43:48And I think in that
43:49moment when Max
43:50ended up on top,
43:51he should have made
43:52a choice to get
43:53back up to try
43:55to find that shot
43:56that he could have
43:57ended the fight with.
43:58The problem with
43:59even disengaging
44:00in that moment
44:02of releasing
44:03the hold on him,
44:05you give Charles
44:06an opportunity
44:06to grab the whole
44:07of you.
44:07Yeah.
44:08So on his way up,
44:09he could have got
44:09reversed there.
44:10But where do you
44:11think Max's best
44:12chance was to finish?
44:13On the feet
44:14or on the ground?
44:14It has to be on the feet.
44:16Yeah.
44:16But even on the feet,
44:17it doesn't look like
44:18he has the firepower.
44:19Charles has been winning
44:20the striking battles.
44:21Yes, that's the problem.
44:22And with bigger
44:23power.
44:24I mean, he landed
44:25and that's the combination
44:26of starting strong.
44:32Let's see if Charles
44:33is content with just
44:35holding on to him
44:37and landing shots,
44:38or if he makes
44:39a concerted effort
44:40to try to finish
44:41the ground in power.
44:42Can I be the guy
44:42that asked?
44:43Yes.
44:43Can I be the guy
44:44that asked?
44:45It's been unbelievably
44:46down.
44:47Right.
44:48Right.
44:48But BMF,
44:50like, did you,
44:51like, BMF,
44:51do we expect
44:52maybe more striking?
44:53I mean,
44:53I'm just asking.
44:55I have to be the guy.
44:57I have to be the guy.
44:59I have to be the guy to that.
45:00I like the fact
45:01that every round
45:02begins on the feet.
45:03Yes.
45:03This is crazy.
45:04This is crazy.
45:04What's the problem?
45:05I'm not saying
45:06there's a problem.
45:07I'm just asking,
45:08Tom.
45:09Yeah.
45:09I don't think it's
45:11any different
45:12than any other fight.
45:13It's a fight.
45:13Okay.
45:14Okay.
45:14He just dominated,
45:16arguably,
45:16the best volume striker
45:18in UFC history.
45:18He's a plus-one,
45:19sixty-five underdog.
45:20Right?
45:20Yes.
45:21I hear you, champ.
45:22I'm just asking.
45:23I don't know.
45:23I just didn't know
45:24if the BMF signified
45:25more of a,
45:27you know,
45:27we're going to kind of
45:28just let it all hang out here.
45:29Eh.
45:30That's not a sense.
45:31Okay.
45:31Okay.
45:32I mean,
45:32we think about that
45:33because of Max.
45:34Yes.
45:34Yes.
45:35Maybe that's because
45:36of the way Max
45:36is representing the title.
45:38I mean,
45:38imagine if Olivero
45:39jumps up
45:40in the last 15 seconds
45:42and points in the round.
45:43Oh,
45:44he's not obligated
45:45to do that.
45:45That's nice.
45:45He did say that.
45:47Max said he asked him
45:48if he would be willing
45:49to give him 15.
45:50He said Charles
45:51wasn't as open
45:52to answering that.
45:55I probably wouldn't do it.
45:57Not now.
45:58Why would he?
45:59I mean,
45:59this is the clearest cut
46:00unanimous decision
46:01we've ever seen
46:03in a sport.
46:03I mean,
46:04this is just
46:05complete domination
46:06with Max not having
46:07any great moments.
46:08There it is.
46:09This is the first time
46:10Max has gotten
46:11back to his feet
46:12when taken down.
46:14Now,
46:16let's give
46:17Olivero his flawless.
46:19Last summer,
46:20he wants to get
46:20knocked out bad.
46:22He has not won
46:23two fights in the Lord
46:23and he's going to
46:24become the BMX champion.
46:25Oh,
46:25and a big right-hand
46:26lead.
46:27he did it.
46:27Oh,
46:28he did it.
46:29Oh,
46:29Holloway gets
46:30cracked with a right.
46:31Back right here
46:32for Holloway,
46:33but that will do it
46:34and new
46:36BMX champion
46:38Charles Oliveira.
46:39He did it.
46:40He landed a nasty shot.
46:42And he rocked him.
46:43He hit him
46:43with a nasty right hand.
46:45He did back to the back.
46:46I mean,
46:47Charles Oliveira
46:48is in another class.
46:50He really is
46:51in another class.
46:54And you knew
46:55Charles Oliveira
46:57was going to be
46:58of a heightened focus
47:00with his parents
47:01here for the first time,
47:03his daughter,
47:04Tyla,
47:04his son,
47:05Dominic,
47:05and there's
47:06the embrace.
47:09What a moment
47:10in a career
47:10full of them
47:11for the future
47:12of all the favor,
47:13Charles

47:14Oliveira.

47:22what a dominant
47:23performance
47:23by Charles Oliveira.
47:25I mean,
47:26dominated him
47:26standing up,
47:27dominated him
47:28on the ground,
47:29took him down
47:29at will,
47:31completely controlled
47:32him on the ground.
47:33Just a spectacular
47:35performance
47:36by the former
47:37lightweight champion
47:38and now
47:39the new
47:40BMF champion.
47:44I mean,
47:45Max did not
47:46have any moments
47:47in this fight.
47:48There was no moments.
47:49Look at that
47:50right hand
47:50that just
47:51rocked him.
47:52I don't know
47:53that I've ever
47:54seen him
47:54get beaten
47:55this way.
47:56Never.
47:56Not like this.
47:57Not controlled
47:57and dominated
47:58like that.

48:37Cow ΡΠ²Π΅Ρ
48:44All right, we are back live inside T-Mobile Arena.
48:47Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira go the distance.
48:51As Oliveira looks to add a BMF championship to the mantle.
48:59This is a man who previously won the undisputed lightweight title, successfully defended it.
49:05And, man, the response from Oliveira after getting knocked out by Ilya Topodia to submit Matauj Gamron and then perform
49:12this way against Max Holloway.
49:18Remarkably adds another layer to his appreciable legend.
49:22One final time tonight.
49:24Here's Bruce.
49:25Ladies and gentlemen, after five rounds, we go to the judges' scorecards for decision.
49:32All three judges scored this contest 50-45 for the winner by unanimous decision and new undisputed UFC BFF champion
49:51of the world, Charles DeVos Oliveira!
50:03Awwwwwww!
50:15For real, man.
50:16I respect you so much.
50:18I admire you so much.
50:18We're different than other people.
50:20We self-pice the other way.
50:21We're so...
50:21My biggest pride is to represent my family just like you.
50:25It was amazing to be with you.
50:26These caras come here, take the microphone and say bullshit.
50:28A gente faz aqui, faz luta.
50:29Faz a coisa bonita pro nossos filhos ver.
50:31These dudes come here and talk a lot of crap.
50:33We come here, we do a lot of beautiful things for our family.
50:36We fight, and we do great things for our kids.
50:42If this division's got two BMFs, those two BMFs are Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway.
51:01Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the winner and new BMF champion, Charles Oliveira and his very, very happy family.
51:11Charles, you've had an amazing career with amazing performances.
51:17This one might be one of your best.
51:19Just a complete, total dominant performance against one of the all-time greats.
51:25Charles, you've had enormous victories, tremendous performances, but maybe this has been your best.
51:30Dominant from the beginning to the end, against a legend.
51:43First and foremost, I want to thank God for giving me this beautiful family that I have here.
51:47Listen, Max is the toughest guy I've ever fought against.
51:50He couldn't be any other way.
51:52I had to come here and dominate.
51:53Hey!
51:56Coming into this fight, the oddsmakers had you an underdog,
52:01which I found very surprising.
52:03Did that bother you at all?
52:05Antes de comeΓ§ar essa luta, muitas casas de apostas tinham vocΓͺ como AzarΓ£o e ele como favorito.
52:10Ele achou isso que nΓ£o era verdade.
52:13O que vocΓͺ achou?
52:14Isso incomodou?
52:15Isso Γ© importante, sΓ³ que nΓ³s fazemos dinheiro.
52:17It's not.
52:18This is not important.
52:19We're all making money anyway.
52:21You definitely do that.
52:22Well, you are in an incredible position now.
52:25You're one of the all-time greats.
52:26You're now the BMF champion.
52:28What is next for you, Charles?
52:29Do you have anything on your mind?
52:31You're in a tremendous position.
52:33Now, you're one of the greats.
52:34You're the BMF.
52:35What's in your head now, man?
52:37Hunter, if you have a fight in the White House,
52:39if you need someone to fight for the title,
52:41you know where to find me.
52:43Look at this.
52:44This was the fight of the night.
52:45I'm sure.
52:46Hunter, you know, if there's another fight in the White House
52:49or anything for the title, you know where to find me.
52:51This was the fight of the night, of course.
52:53Listen, there's always room for you, sir.
52:56Charles, you're one of the all-time greats.
52:58It is an honor to call your fight.
53:01Congratulations, sir.
53:04He gets it.
53:06Ladies and gentlemen, Charles Oliveira.
53:18Max, I know this is a tough moment for you.
53:23The heart and courage that you displayed here tonight,
53:27able to endure, able to withstand those submissions,
53:30it was incredibly impressive.
53:34What was the game plan coming in here,
53:36and what, if anything, was surprising?
53:40You know, it's a sticky move, you know,
53:41but they came with a better game plan.
53:44You got to give it up for Oliveira, guys.
53:47Have a fire, a true BMF,
53:49and wouldn't have it any other way.
53:52Do you have thoughts in mind of what's next?
53:57Yeah.
53:58I'm going to come back,
53:59whoop somebody's ass,
53:59and be right in title contention again.
54:01You ain't seen that he's done.
54:03I ain't done yet.
54:04I ain't done yet.
54:05I'm going to see Mr. Oliveira again, bro.
54:08That's for sure.
54:09Spoken like a true champion.
54:10Thank you, sir.
54:11Ladies and gentlemen, Max Holloway.
54:14Class of defeat, as you might expect.
54:17Thrill on one side, agony on the other.
54:19Nice to see Charles Oliveira's father,
54:22Francisco Antonio, busted a move.
54:24His mother, Rosana, also here.
54:28But mutual respect is on high
54:29between these two combatants,
54:31and they settle their two-fight series here tonight.
54:34Bud Light, the official American beer sponsor of UFC.
