Charles Oliveira cruised to a unanimous decision victory over Max Holloway at UFC 326 on Saturday, claiming the 'Baddest Motherf*****' title with a dominant performance 11 years after their first meeting was cut short by injury.
The Brazilian earned 50-45 scores from all three judges, showcasing superior ground game at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Holloway struggled to mount any significant offence as Oliveira controlled the majority of the bout.
In the final seconds, Oliveira stuck to his promise to trade strikes with Holloway in the centre of the octagon, drawing cheers from the crowd before the final bell.
Conor McGregor took to social media to call out Oliveira after the win, with Oliveira responding by expressing interest in a fight at this summer's event.
Earlier on the card, Cody Garbrandt overcame a bizarre incident where three low blows in quick succession left him vomiting into a bucket, yet he still secured a unanimous decision victory over Xiao Long.
Other notable results included Caio Borralho defeating Reinier de Ridder, Raul Rosas Jr beating Rob Font, and Drew Dober knocking out Michael Johnson in the second round.
