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 50-45×3 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.
