We have a few avenues to discuss with<br \/>\nHunter [Campbell].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The long-awaited super fight with <a rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sherdog.com\/fighter\/Conor-McGregor-29688\">Conor<br \/>\nMcGregor<\/a> is no longer a priority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time we talk about him it turns into a soap opera, so I<br \/>\nthink it\u2019s better not to get our hopes up,\u201d Lima said. \u201cConor is a<br \/>\ngiant. He said it and he did it. Obviously, it would be a pleasure<br \/>\nfor Charles to move up to [welterweight] to have a super fight with<br \/>\nhim and show him that it would have been better if he hadn\u2019t come<br \/>\nback, but honestly, I don\u2019t believe he\u2019ll come back.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>DMF or BMF?<\/h2>\n<p>Diego also spoke about the criticism Charles received for his use<br \/>\nof dominant grappling to beat Holloway and win the BMF belt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWasn\u2019t it MMA? If it was supposed to be a K-1 fight, Dana could<br \/>\nhave just used K-1 rules with MMA gloves. He fought under MMA rules<br \/>\nand not only managed to take the belt from a legend of the sport,<br \/>\nbut also etched his name in history once again by achieving the<br \/>\nsecond-highest grappling dominance in history. The first is<br \/>\n[<a rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sherdog.com\/fighter\/Khamzat-Chimaev-280021\">Khamzat<br \/>\nChimaev<\/a> vs. <a rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sherdog.com\/fighter\/Dricus-Du-Plessis-146193\">Dricus Du<br \/>\nPlessis<\/a>] the second is Charles vs. Holloway, and the third is<br \/>\n[<a rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sherdog.com\/fighter\/Islam-Makhachev-76836\">Islam<br \/>\nMakhachev<\/a> vs. <a rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sherdog.com\/fighter\/Jack-Della-Maddalena-208155\">Jack<br \/>\nDella Maddalena<\/a>]. And we&#8217;re talking about title fights at the<br \/>\nhighest level of the sport. How come Charles doesn\u2019t deserve the<br \/>\nBMF title?\u201d Lima said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Charles had stopped in the middle and exchanged blows until one<br \/>\ngets knocked out, the belt wouldn&#8217;t be BMF but the DMF (Dumbest<br \/>\nMotherf\u2014-er). The curious thing is that the same people who<br \/>\ncriticize Charles would be saying he was stupid for not using his<br \/>\njiu-Jjtsu if he lost.
