Robert
\nWhittaker<\/a> believes Max
\nHolloway<\/a> can\u2019t lose the BMF  title. <\/p>\n

Holloway puts his BMF title on the line against Charles
\nOliveira<\/a> in the main event at
\nUFC 326<\/a> on March 7 in Las Vegas. While Whittaker doesn\u2019t
\nexactly understand what the BMF title signifies, he is sure that
\nthere is none more deserving of the honor than Holloway. Whittaker
\nrecalls Holloway’s iconic point down in the final seconds of his
\nfight against Justin
\nGaethje<\/a>, and knocking him out in a buzzer beater. Whittaker
\nbelieves no one except Holloway has the guts to invite their
\nopponent to a slugfest in the final seconds of a fight that they
\nwere already winning convincingly. While \u201cThe Reaper\u201d likes
\nOliveira, he is concerned that the Brazilian will suffer serious
\ndamage against Holloway.<\/p>\n

Safety Concerns<\/h2>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think Max can lose that title,\u201d Whittaker told Submission Radio<\/a>. \u201cYou can\u2019t be up five rounds
\nand then point to the center of the Octagon \u2014 nobody else does
\nthat. Nobody else can. They don\u2019t have the cojones. I worry for
\nOliveira, I love him like everyone else does, but Max is a better
\nstriker. Oliveira is gonna get hurt, man. He gets hurt in a lot of
\nfights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holloway (27-8) is 4-1 in his last five, with the loss coming in a
\nfailed featherweight title bid against Ilia
\nTopuria<\/a>. \u201cBlessed\u201d has since rebounded with a win over Dustin
\nPoirier<\/a> in his last fight. Meanwhile, Oliveira (36-11) is
\ncoming off a submission win over Mateusz
\nGamrot<\/a> that saw him rebound from a knockout loss in a failed
\nlightweight title bid against Topuria. <\/p>\n
