Max Holloway Plots Risky Approach for Charles Oliveira in BMF Title Defense at UFC 326

Holloway says a win could move him toward an Ilia Topuria rematch for lightweight gold.

Overview

Holloway defends the BMF belt against Charles Oliveira in the UFC 326 main event on March 7 in Las Vegas.
He said it would be "a BMF thing" to try to submit Oliveira, acknowledging his coaches would not like the idea.
Oliveira owns the UFC record for most submission wins, underscoring the risk in Holloway’s hinted strategy.
They first fought in 2015, when Holloway won after Oliveira suffered a throat injury, and Holloway later moved to 155 after his UFC 308 loss to Ilia Topuria.
Topuria is currently taking time off, and Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett headlines UFC 324 for an interim lightweight title.
