Max
\nHolloway<\/a> says fans shouldn\u2019t count him out in grappling against
\nCharles
\nOliveira<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Holloway puts his BMF title on the line in a rematch against
\nOliveira at
\nUFC 326<\/a> on March 7 in Las Vegas. A volume puncher, Holloway
\nbelieves fans might be undermining his ground game leading up to
\nhis clash against Oliveira, who is a feared submission artist.
\n\u201cBlessed\u201d admits that even his coaches don\u2019t take him too seriously
\nwhen he talks about the possibility of a submission win over
\nOliveira. However, Holloway believes both he and Oliveira can hold
\ntheir own anywhere the fight goes,. The BMF champion says
\nsubmitting a submission artist like \u201cdo Bronx\u201d would really do
\njustice to his title.<\/p>\n

\u2018Never Say Never\u2019<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe narrative is for this fight \u2013 If we can keep it on the feet,
\nit\u2019s me, and if we go to the ground, it\u2019s like 200% [Oliveira].
\nWhich is crazy,\u201d Holloway told ESPN.<\/a> \u201cI feel like we both fought at the
\nhighest levels\u2026 Never say never. My coaches just keep seeing
\ninterviews of me talking about jiu-jitsu and subbing him, and they
\nlaugh. But at the end of the day, people call me crazy, a BMF thing
\nto do would be to submit a submission artist.\u201d <\/p>\n

Holloway (27-8) earned a first-round stoppage win over Oliveira
\n(36-11) in their first outing in 2015 after the Brazilian suffered
\na mysterious neck injury. While Holloway later went on to become
\nthe featherweight champion, Oliveira won the lightweight title.
\nBoth Holloway and Oliveira have since lost their titles, albeit
\nnever straying far from the title picture. Holloway is coming off a
\ndecision win over Dustin
\nPoirier<\/a> that saw him rebound from a knockout loss against
\nIlia
\nTopuria<\/a>. Meanwhile, Oliveira comes off a submission win over
\nMateusz
\nGamrot<\/a> that also saw him rebound from a knockout loss against
\nTopuria.  <\/p>\n
