"The Chute Boxe superstar flashed his superiority in all phases, seized the symbolic BMF title and raised his Ultimate Fighting Championship profile to new heights with a one-sided unanimous decision over Max Holloway in the UFC 326 main event on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. All three judges scored it 50-45 for Oliveira (37-11, 25-11 UFC), who avenged his 2015 loss to the former featherweight champion and future hall of famer."
"Oliveira attacked with leg kicks and powerful right hands in standup exchanges but separated himself through takedowns, suffocating control and a relentless submission game. He struck for takedowns in all five rounds, advanced to Holloway's back on several occasions and alternated between rear-naked chokes, face cranks and neck cranks, feeding him an unhealthy dose of elbows along the way."
"Borralho battered his legs with kicks, connected with thudding left hands over the top and surprised the Dutch grappler with a takedown in the third round. He briefly climbed to full mount, then transitioned to side control before the two men returned to their feet. There, Borralho once again zeroed in on his counterpart's lower extremities with kicks."
Charles Oliveira delivered a dominant performance against Max Holloway at UFC 326, securing the BMF title with a unanimous 50-45 decision victory. Oliveira showcased complete superiority through leg kicks, powerful right hands, and relentless grappling. He executed takedowns in all five rounds, controlled Holloway's back repeatedly, and threatened with rear-naked chokes, face cranks, and neck cranks while landing elbows. Holloway had no effective answers and could only survive. In the co-main event, Caio Borralho defeated Reinier de Ridder via unanimous decision with 30-27 scorecards, using superior speed and athleticism. Borralho attacked with leg kicks, powerful left hands, and secured a third-round takedown, while de Ridder's awkward power punches provided only sporadic resistance.
