UFC 326 Post-Fight Show | Reaction To Charles Oliveira Blanking Max Holloway, UFC White House Card
Charles Oliveira delivered a workmanlike style to a BMF title fight, and that led to a one-sided smothering of Max Holloway to capture the title belt on Saturday at UFC 326. Unfortunately, as impressive as the performance was, the fan base was not overly thrilled by how the fight went down, which capped off — outside of a few highlights — a sluggish event. However, fans finally got the UFC White House card announcement, and even that has been met with a mixed bag. Following Saturday's event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew recap Oliveira's BMF title win, if the UFC should put the title on ice for a little while, where both fighters go from here, and why Oliveira deserves some blame from the backlash. Additionally, they discuss other moments from the card, react to the long-awaited UFC White House announcement, the Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje main event, how the card stacks up overall, the UFC's effort in 2026 thus far, and much more.
