Charles Oliveira reveals who he wants to present him with BMF title if he wins at UFC 326
UFC star and former world champion Charles Oliveira has revealed who he wants to put the BMF title around his waist if he can pick up the win at UFC 326.
Next month, Charles Oliveira will attempt to add the BMF title to his resume when he goes head to head with Max Holloway, a man he fought and lost to over ten years ago. Both men have grown a lot since then and have gone on to achieve some great things, with many expecting an absolute barnburner of a contest when they collide in Las Vegas.
Charles Oliveira, in many ways, has nothing left to prove in mixed martial arts – but that doesn’t mean he isn’t still hungry. He will want to avenge the aforementioned defeat to Holloway and in addition to that, he will likely want to prove that he deserves at least one more crack at the gold at 155 pounds.
In a recent interview, Charles Oliveira spoke openly about who he wants to present him with the belt if he can secure the victory at UFC 326.

“My father,” Oliveira told MMA Junkie through an interpreter on Tuesday. “The reality is if my father and my mother hadn’t believed in me and supported me, none of this would’ve ever happened. None of this would be possible. I wouldn’t be here. Having my father put the belt on me, that would be amazing.”
“It’s definitely huge,” Oliveira said. “It’s one more thing that I can add to my legacy. It’s one more achievement. It’s great.”
“I think that last fight I made a statement, I sent a message to everyone in the division,” Oliveira said. “The lion is still hungry and I definitely think I’m going to make another run for it and I’m going to become a champion.”

Regardless of whether or not you’re a ‘Do Bronx’ fan, which many people are, there’s no denying that this would perhaps be one of the most beautiful moments in UFC history if he’s able to get his wish.
First, of course, he has to get through Max Holloway, which is going to be no easy task – and that’s putting it lightly.
