The MMA world has reacted to the UFC 326 snoozefest between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier tonight, Holloway was defending his BMF title in a rematch against the Brazilian, but the bout did not go like a typical BMF fight.<\/p>\n

The former UFC lightweight champion took \u201cBlessed\u201d down in the opening minutes of every round but failed to force a tap, and the pattern followed in every stanza.<\/p>\n

\"Max<\/p>\n

After five rounds, fans barely got to see the most anticipated part of a Max Holloway fight, which is the final 10 seconds of pure stand-and-bang with zero regard for defense, as \u201cDo Bronxs\u201d was more interested in keeping Holloway grounded, even in the final seconds, although \u201cBlessed\u201d was game to brawl.<\/p>\n

Charles Oliveira got his hand raised after 25 minutes and became the new UFC BMF kingpin<\/a>, but the MMA world is not happy.<\/p>\n

I sentence Charles Oliveira to a rematch with Arman Tsarukyan<\/a> for a title shot, no bmf title on the line. It died tonight #UFC326\u2033<\/p>\n

Paulo Costa<\/a> also had similar sentiments:<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of those, they will never gonna put BMF title on line, or they will never put a grappler to fight for this anymore. That said, congratulations, Charles.\u201d<\/p>\n
