Charles Oliveira has nothing but contempt for the haters out there who have accused him of sullying the BMF belt with a safe performance.
Oliveira blanked Max Holloway on the scorecards 50-45x3 at UFC 326, taking the BMF belt off “Blessed” with ease. A lot of fans were impressed with the ease “Do Bronx” took down Holloway and threatened finishes for five rounds. Others saw it as a betrayal of what the BMF belt is supposed to represent: two of the baddest motherf–kers standing and banging.
Now Charles is responding to those critics who were upset he didn’t let Max bang, bro.
“If I’d stood and traded with Max Holloway like I did in other fights and got knocked out, what would you have said?” Oliveira told CasinoHawks. “I know: ‘Stupid as f–k, not using his jiu-jitsu.’ Because when I got knocked out by [Ilia]Topuria, everyone said the same thing: ‘Stupid as f–k, all he had to do was grapple.’”
Oliveira did indeed come into his UFC 317 fight against Topuria too confident in his stand-up, and that cost him via first round knockout. He learned his lesson, and now all those people who said he should grapple are upset he did that against Holloway.
“How do you want me to fight?” Oliveira continued. “Pick one way and stick to your word until the end. Because the same people who criticized me when I lost saying I was stupid as f–k are criticizing me now because I used jiu-jitsu. Truthfully, it’s a bunch of clueless people with nothing to do, who haven’t got the guts to get up and wash a pair of pants or underwear, and stay online talking rubbish. That’s the reality.”
“Do Bronx” made it clear that he won’t be swayed by the unwashed masses and their desire for raw blood and guts spectacle.
“Today, MMA is for the man who thinks, for the man who studies,” he declared. “For the clever one who knows what he’s going to do so he doesn’t make mistakes. If you make mistakes, you end up getting screwed. If you look at the big names, the elite guys, they talk about the great show, the art, the movement, the way it was done.”
“Then you look at the ones criticizing, the ones talking nonsense: they haven’t won f–k all, done f–k all.”
He shit the bed spamming his way to victory with takedowns In a special fight for the fans called BMF that is built on not spamming for takedowns. Then he shits on the die-hard just blewd fans of the sport.
Soon he will make A Brazilian excuses for his performance. What a chump.
Did no one explain to him that the BMF fight is not a regular fight? Because he doesn’t sound like he has any idea what it means
He didn’t have to brawl but what he did was dogshit for a “BMF” fight (or any other fight for that matter).
As dominant on the ground as he was, there was no need to stall it out. He could have opened up with GNP or chased more subs.
This whole issue only came up because new fans pretend he was one of the LW goats.
I still see him as the guy who loses every other fight, then had a great couple yrs. Missed weight multiple times. I guess time helps forgive.
They’ve paid for everything you own, Charles.
Hunter Campbell agrees with the new fans and thinks Olives is one of the greats.
Attacking fans after a puzzling performance always goes well.
That belt went from mildly amusing to a cool highlight to annoying fast.
Hot take I guess, but I don’t understand the hate here. Charles probably would have finished anyone not named Max Holloway in the first round. He fought the exact same way he always fights, it’s just fans expectations from Justin-Max did not match what they got here.
I absolutely agree with Charles here. Anyone crying about that performance is a retard. It was brilliant and exciting. If you want to guys standing in front of each other, watch powerslap. The UFC is an MMA organization and the BMF is an esoteric, make believe title that means nothing.
He has had a great run. I just remember his first few years he seemed like he loved getting ground and pounded all while having great bjj. That damn Ferguson fight really leveled him up.
It seems like he turned things around and went on his run about the time his daughter was born.
The BMF belt is stupid as fuck anyway. Its a participation trophy.
Sure a participation trophy for a barn burner of a just bleed fight. Participate or get the fuck out
You should write script for Laura Semko. Did he also start dating his coach?
Blame UFC for manufacturing such a stupid title.
BMF means your bad, man! You gotta stand and bang like a toughman fight.
Get rid of it already.
The retard forgot what type of fighters created the belt in the first place, but he gets flatlined in every his fight so no surprise he doesn’t get it
