Max, like Dricus and JDM, good enough to defend the sub. That's all

Think Max thought BMF meant no grappling allowed.

This was like worst case scenario. Pull in casuals for the “baddest motherfucker belt”, just to remind them why they don’t like watching MMA.

Hilarious.

Never thought I’d see a more dominant performance over Max Holloway than Max/Volk 3 but here we are.

I said it in the fight thread but...

If Dana or the audience is upset with someone absolutely dominating within the rules, Change the rules to standup only for the BMF.

Obviously this was just another fight to Charles lol. He don't give a fuck about y'all BMF belt 😂

Charles fought incredibly well, I can tell what the consensus is going to be here but it’s a failure on the ufc for putting Charles up for BMF

He did his job, no clue why they didn’t put up someone like Hooker for this particular belt

Basically you have to be complete and as close to perfect fighter as possible to beat Oliveira. If you lack skills in any aspect of mma you are gonna lose

Complete and utter domination....Olives being the underdog must have gotten some juicy return

Rogan being disgusted with the crowd booing was pure comedy
