Charles Oliveira, who won the BMF championship from Max Holloway at UFC 326, has responded to criticism that his performance did not reflect the spirit of a BMF title fight. Oliveira scored five takedowns in the five-round fight against Holloway, one in each round. His jiu-jitsu dominated the action, leading to just shy of 21 minutes of ground control over the 25-minute fight. Many felt that the title's inclusion meant that the fighters should not engage in a grappling battle. However, Oliveira defended his actions, stating that he came into a fight where he made it look easy and his ground game was flawless. He also stated that he brought a belt to Brazil that no Brazilian had ever won.
