It’s
\nbeen more than a decade since Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira

Since their first fight in 2015, Charles While Holloway continued his winning streak at featherweight, Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In 2026, the two legends will face each other again in the Vitor Marcos \u201cParrumpa\u201d da Matta, American Top Team coach: \u201cHolloway is a Melquizael
\nOliveira<\/a> and Max
\nHolloway<\/a> have followed parallel paths in different
\ndivisions.<\/p>\n
\ndefeating Jose Aldo<\/a> by
\ntechnical knockout at UFC 212 to take the belt from the fighter
\nconsidered to be the GOAT of the division, Charles migrated to
\nChute Boxe, moved up to lightweight, restarted his career and after
\na sequence of eight victories, won the division\u2019s belt by knocking

\nUFC 326<\/a> headliner, disputing the BMF belt that the Hawaiian has
\nheld since 2024 after beating Justin
\nGaethje<\/a> and Dusin Poirier. Holloway has been pointed out as a
\nslight favorite in the odds, but the only certainty is a very
\nexciting fight. At least that is the opinion of these Brazilian
\ncoaches and fighters who gave their view on the fight to
\nSherdog.com.<\/p>\nCoaches, Fighters Weigh in on BMF Title Clash:<\/h2>\n
\nMiranda<\/a>, UFC Brazil commentator: \u201cGiven their characteristics,
\nI think it’s going to be crazy. It’s going to be a fight without
\nstrategy, doing justice to the BMF belt. I see Charles embodying
\nhis best version, moving forward and looking for the knockout, and
\nMax Holloway doing the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nhigh-volume fighter who ramps up in the later rounds. Charles tends
\nto focus more on finishing in the early rounds. But if the fight
\ngoes to the fifth round, Holloway usually ramps up in the final
\nrounds. To beat Max, Charles would have to secure the first
\nthree.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nCosta<\/a>, UFC featherweight: \u201cVolume vs. precision. I see Charles
\nmarching forward with that \u2018gigantic timing,\u2019 as he says, and
\ngiving us a real heart attack test. Holloway undeniably has one of
\nthe best striking techniques in MMA, combining movement and volume,
\nbut Charles has evolved his striking a lot. He always had a heavy
\nhand, but I notice that he has greatly improved his movement. I see
\nHolloway using his volume to win round after round and Charles
\nconstantly moving forward to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n
