"I believe that if Charles goes after Holloway in the striking exchanges like he did with [Ilia] Topuria, it won't be a mistake. Topuria finishes the fight with one strike, while Holloway needs to impose his volume of strikes to break down his opponent. In fact, Charles has heavier hands than him and can finish the fight with one strike."
"Besides, by going for close-range combat, "do Bronxs" has a better chance of taking it to grappling, where he is clearly superior. Holloway has the advantage if he can keep the fight from mid- to long range. Both are extremely aggressive strikers who don't back down. I think this fight will not reach the fifth round. This duel has everything to be the fight of the year, doing justice to the BMF belt."
Charles Oliveira can capitalize by pressing Max Holloway in close-range striking, where Oliveira's heavier hands can produce a one-strike finish and facilitate takedowns leading to grappling superiority. Max Holloway holds an advantage when he maintains mid-to-long-range exchanges and uses high-volume striking to break opponents down. Both fighters are extremely aggressive strikers prone to deviating from tactical plans, increasing the likelihood of an early, action-packed bout. The matchup is a rematch of a 2015 featherweight encounter that ended by TKO due to injury. The fight headlines UFC 326 for the BMF title on March 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
