You guys saw miles behind me already. Hey, Liverpool is having a horrible season this year, and nothing makes me happier than to see them struggling. But guys, tonight, it's all about the BMF title. Tonight at UFC 326 in Las Vegas, Max Holloway Walker here. as the BMF champion, and he defeated that belt against Charles Dubronk's Olivera. These guys fought a decade ago. We all believed that this fight was going to be a continuation of what happened 10 years ago, or would it be a completely different fight?

Well, it was a completely different fight. Charles Oliver went to the Octagon tonight and completely dominated Max Holloway from the very started a fight to the very end of the fight. just was a better fighter and he fought the fight where he needed to fight in order to get that championship. It was take down after takedown after takedown and control. And honestly, Max had no answers for the ground game of Charles Oliverer. And honestly, not many people have answers for Charles O'Levara when he fights in the way that he fought tonight. He went forward with pressure. He was able to land the strikes with a lot of impact and damage like we have

known Charles Oliver to do. He just looks like the guy that was on that big title run whenever he was the lightweight champion of the world. He pursued Max. He would hit him with big shots, then he would get to the clinch and he would take him down. But what was most impressive was the fact that when he got Charles down, or sorry, what Charles got Max down, Max never got up. He never got back to his feet one time for 24 minutes. The last round he got up to his feet once. Charles held him until 10 seconds left. And then he did the point down.

And he struck with him a little bit. And when he did that, he landed a big right hand on Max. Now, Max did hit him too in that exchange. But it was pure domination by Charles Olivera. Now, here's the thing. I think that every fighter is a BML. And I know that MMA is to win. Charles Olivaire looked like he could have competed with Max in the standout,

but instead he chose the route that was best to benefit him and that was to take him down and control him in the way that he did. But when we take it a BMF title, the one thing that we got before, right, when Nate Diaz fought Jorge Mazzvedo, and they weren't in title contention, and they weren't the most successful guys in former champions. We got kind of brawls.

Is that what the BMF stands for inside the octagon? I got a message from Michael Chandler, and I didn't see on Twitter, R.X. And it said, DC, I think you can try to get this some traction. Please make it stand and bang like on the video game. Is that what you guys expect out of the BMF? that to Joe and John. I am more aligned with them. BMF is also just the continuation of extension of winning and putting yourself in position to

become a world champion. But I think the general consensus is when you get the BMF title on the line, you're looking for bangers. I mean, that first BMF title fight was a banger until they stopped it. Porier versus Gaichie, a banger. Holloway versus versus Gaichi. Banger. Holloway versus Porye was a banger. So I get what the BMF title has become. But is that really what it was meant to be? I don't know. You guys tell me the comments. But at the end of the day, I don't really care because I was impressed with what I saw tonight from Charles Dubron Solivares. In honesty, they asked me, did it say more about Max Holloway or Charles? What it really said to me was how good Iliott is. I mean, for Tepore you to do what he did to Olavera, crazy. It was impressive then. It's even more impressive now after what Charles has done now in his two fights since losing to Ilya.

Guys, you got a tip your cap to Olavera. Not less than a year ago, he got knocked out in his very octagon bad by Ilya to pouria for the lightweight championship. And now he's the BMF champ less than a year after that horrible. result. For Max Holloway, there wasn't much good in this fight because he never got the fight. But what was very impressive was his submission defense. I don't know that we've ever seen a guy on the bottom versus Oliver for as long as he spit on the bottom and not get submitted. So if there is something that the Holloway team should look at as a positive, is that he fought off of his back for, I mean, 23 minutes and Oliver never got that close to submitting him.

That was super impressive. But Holloway will be back. I mean, the guy's a champion. He's an amazing fighter, and he will build himself back into contention. Kyle Baha'uilio beat Rainier de Ritter. That was a big win for Buhlio. He said that he was not motivated to fight anymore going into that. last fight against him out of off. He didn't look that way tonight. He had to go through some

tough things and he fought very well on the third round showing you that the motivation is there. Rodo Rosas Jr. beat Rob Fon by decision. A lot of takedowns, not much damage, but if you're Roses Jr., you're heading in the right direction, you're very happy about that positive result. Drew Dover knocked out Michael Johnson bad guys. It was crazy. Johnson was fighting a really good fight He was on the windstreet. Dover threw a right-hand hook and a left hand down the middle that put him completely out. It was nasty. That was a massive result for Drew Dober.

Gregor Rodriguez knocked out Bruno Faheda, and that's going to be my total wireless performance of the night. That was a flip of a result where Faheda knocked him out the first time they fought. Gregory Rodriguez knocked him out with one punch, put him down with one right hand, No follow-up shots needed ended the fight. It was amazing to see Robocop do that to a guy that had knocked him out before. And honestly, it was one of the first shots that he threw the entire fight. It was nuts to watch that. So that's my total wireless performance of the night.

That goes to Gregory Rodriguez, one punch knockout over Bruno Paheda. Cody Gorbrent and Zhao Long had a crazy fight. I mean, two points deducted from Zhao Lange. Long for low blows. I wish Cody would have thought more after he got those two points deducting from Zhao Long. There just wasn't that much danger anymore. I think he's going to watch that and kind of hope that he fought more himself when he

watches it, but he's back in the wind column and ultimately that's what matters. Dante Johnson beat Cody Brunditch. Johnson gained a lot of experience, but he's very wrong. I'm interested to see what his career looks like as he continues to progress and get better. Alberto Montez submitted Ricky Tersios. With the move that he told us he was going to do in the fighter meetings, hats off to that young man. He has a terribly hard story.

You guys need to go follow up and look at this young man and try to get familiar with him because I think he's very good. But also his story is very inspiring to him to even be here today. Big win for her. I'm not even going to bother him. that say his name again. Over Cody Durdin. Sumadarjee beat.

Asus Aguilar. Nergazai beat. Tobias and Rafael Balado beat Luke Fernandez. It was a great night. Guys, today I was on CBS. I never would have imagined. We grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana. We got Fox.

We got ABC. We got CBS because we didn't have cable. Today I actually got to go on CBS. Yes, free TV in front of so many people. I am living a dream. And obviously I worked hard to get here. But it's the people that support me, like everyone in you,

that allows for these things to happen for me. So I'm very grateful and I'm gracious. And I appreciate each and every one. Vegas always delivers. This is a tremendous fight night. It's a tremendous event. So thank you guys for tuning in once again. I appreciate you.

each and every one of you. And I'll catch her next one. I'm going to drop a video to discuss this White House card. I thought it was pretty good. Can Alex Brer become a three-division champion? That is nuts. We'll discuss that.

Also, guys, I have a Daniel Corbier show coming up this week, but none other than Sugar Show on O'Malley, who is on the White House this week. Stick around. I got an interview with the winning coach like I always do. So, like, subscribe.

inside the octagon. It's crazy. Until next time, guys. Peace. Hey, guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin.
