In fact, Charles has heavier hands than<br \/>\nhim and can finish the fight with one strike. Besides, by going for<br \/>\nclose-range combat, \u201cdo Bronxs\u201d has a better chance of taking it to<br \/>\ngrappling, where he is clearly superior. Holloway has the advantage<br \/>\nif he can keep the fight from mid- to long range.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>BMF Worthy<\/h2>\n<p>Despite his tactical analysis, Miranda believes that both fighters<br \/>\nwill end up deviating from the tactical plans drawn up by their<br \/>\nteams, delivering a classic BMF fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth are extremely aggressive strikers who don\u2019t back down,\u201d he<br \/>\nsaid. \u201cI think this fight will not reach the fifth round. This duel<br \/>\nhas everything to be the fight of the year, doing justice to the<br \/>\nBMF belt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oliveira vs. Holloway will be in a rematch of a fight that took<br \/>\nplace in 2015, when both were still competing at featherweight. It<br \/>\nended with a victory for the American by TKO in the first round<br \/>\nafter the Brazilian suffered an injury. In the ensuing years, both<br \/>\nwon UFC belts. Holloway was featherweight champion in 2017 and<br \/>\ndefended his title four times. Oliveira moved up to the lightweight<br \/>\ndivision where he became champion in 2021, having defended the<br \/>\ntitle twice (against Poirier and Gaethje). Despite submitting<br \/>\nGaethje, the Brazilian lost the belt in his second defense for<br \/>\nfailing to make weight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway first squared off in 2015. | Josh Schaefer\/Sherdog.com Vitor Miranda has an interesting perspective when it comes to Charles Oliveira\u2019s game plan for his upcoming fight with Max Holloway.
