"Unfortunately, Charles Oliveira's complete domination of Max Holloway won't get the credit it deserves, because it couldn't live up to the ethos of the belt the two were fighting for. If this fight was a regular number 1 contender bout, people would be raving about how nobody has ever shut out Max Holloway in this fashion."
"Oliveira may have earned a title shot in any other division, but it's hard to picture the UFC throwing him back in there with Ilia Topuria given how the first fight ended. For that reason, I don't think Do Bronx will simply wait."
"Reinier de Ridder and Caio Borralho met in a matchup between two top10 contenders looking to bounce back from deflating losses. It was the Brazilian who came out on top, earning 30-27s across the board."
UFC 326 featured the fifth BMF title fight, with Charles Oliveira decisively defeating Max Holloway in a dominant performance that earned him widespread recognition. Despite the convincing victory, Oliveira's win was somewhat overshadowed by expectations for a more action-packed BMF fight. Other notable performances included Caio Borralho's comeback victory over Reinier de Ridder with unanimous 30-27 scorecards, Raul Rosas Jr.'s significant win, and knockout victories from Drew Dober and Gregory Rodrigues. Looking forward, Oliveira appears positioned for a title shot, potentially against Benoit Saint Denis, while Borralho seeks matchups with top contenders like Dricus Du Plessis.
