Overview
- Oliveira won every round on all three cards (50-45 x3) to take the BMF belt in Las Vegas.
- He controlled roughly 20:49 on the ground with 5 of 13 takedowns, smothering Holloway’s offense.
- UFC CEO Dana White said he was surprised by the approach but noted Oliveira did what was needed to win.
- Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz derided the bout’s entertainment value; Oliveira shot back, saying he’d face either man and even joked about fighting two in one day.
- Positioning for an undisputed shot next, Oliveira is eyeing the Topuria–Gaethje unification at the White House card in June, as UFC 326 also saw Caio Borralho outpoint Reinier de Ridder and knockout wins from Drew Dober and Gregory Rodrigues, plus Raul Rosas Jr. over Rob Font.
