UFC Record Breakdown
This is the lightweight superfight fans have been begging for ever since Max moved up and Charles started his latest run. You've got Do Bronxs, the submission wizard who just choked out Gamrot in Rio this past October, against Blessed, who's riding high after beating Dustin Poirier in their trilogy this July. Both guys are coming off huge wins, both are absolute killers, and this matchup answers so many questions about who's the real king at 155. The styles here are what make this so damn intriguing. Charles is that scary Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt who can finish you from anywhere, landed that rear naked choke on Gamrot in round two like it was nothing.
If Charles can't get it to the ground early, Max's pace and output could take over in the championship rounds.
Max is the volume striker who threw 378 strikes against Poirier, that insane cardio and boxing that never stops coming. Oliveira's got 5 takedowns and over 14 minutes of control time in his last lightweight win over Chandler, while Holloway hasn't even attempted a takedown in his last few fights. It's classic grappler versus striker, but both guys can bang. Here's the thing though, both these dudes have that Topuria loss hanging over them. Charles got knocked out in the first round trying to move up for the lightweight title in June 2025, Max lost his featherweight belt to the same guy back in October 2024.
This fight would tell us who bounces back better, who's really built for lightweight dominance. Charles has that 76% striking accuracy and nasty ground game, but Max landed 201 strikes on Dustin and now holds that BMF belt. The UFC officially announced this BMF title defense at the UFC 323 press conference in early December, with both fighters squaring off at the 'It's On' event to kick off the hype for UFC 326 in March.
