UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev commented on the main fight of the "UFC 326" tournament held in Las Vegas last night. Chimaev drew attention with his social media post commenting on Charles Oliveira's victory over Max Holloway.
Idman.Biz reports that Oliveira's victory by unanimous decision (50:45, 50:45, 50:45) to become the new BMF champion was not received unequivocally. The fact that a large part of the fight took place on the ground was called boring by some fans and fighters. Khamzat Chimaev, in his post, wrote "it was a crazy fight full of bright moments" and added a laughing emoji, which was interpreted as a sarcastic allusion to the dullness of the fight.
It is worth recalling that former two-time UFC champion Conor McGregor is also among those who strongly criticized this fight. He called Oliveira "boring" and described the fight as a "shockingly bad fight".
It should be noted that thanks to this victory, 36-year-old Charles Oliveira not only avenged his defeat 11 years ago, but also celebrated the 37th victory in his career.
