In March, in Las Vegas (USA), Charles of the Bronx surprised to dominate Max Holloway in the main fight of UFC 326 and won the 'BMF' belt (baddest motherfucker in the company), expanding his legacy in MMA. However, many fans and sports professionals criticized the Brazilian for the strategy he adopted, and Dana White, president of the organization, is part of that group.

Speaking to the UFC's official YouTube channel, the executive was not at all pleased with the last fight for the 'BMF' belt and revealed his disappointment with Charles. It's true that Dana has nothing against the Brazilian, who has never given him any problems in the company, but he stressed that he expected him to be more aggressive in the rematch against 'Blessed'.

Because it was a 'BMF' title fight, the MMA community created the concept that athletes have to focus on striking and brawling more than showing technique. Since Charles, a jiu-jitsu specialist and the greatest finisher in UFC history, successfully used grappling against Holloway, he fell out of favor and was called a "tie-breaker," despite attacking on the ground and seeking submissions.

“Yes, I was always certain that there would be certain fights that you watched and thought, ‘It’s impossible that this isn’t good.’ But then came the BMF title fight…”, said the UFC president.

Dana changed her mind.

Interestingly, Dana White even praised Charles of the Bronx right after the fight. At the post-fight press conference...UFC 326The company president was impressed with the Brazilian's performance, highlighted that he saw no problem whatsoever with the strategy adopted by him, and implied that the one who fell short in the duel was... Max Holloway.

"I don't know if anyone expected this, the way he immobilized him and took him down so easily, completely dominating him on the ground. I thought there would be a lot more striking and that Holloway would do better defending takedowns and, if it went to the ground, at least he would get back up a few times during the round, but it was total domination," said the official.

“I think you’re going to have guys like that, but the goal at the end of the day and every fight is to win. So, he did exactly what he needed to do to win. I think you’ll have to ask Holloway, but in training, he was probably expecting it if he saw Charles fight. He’s not afraid to exchange blows, to be attacked, but obviously, he believed that if he took him down, it would happen,” he concluded.
