Max Holloway’s main event “BMF” title fight against Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 is just one week away, which means we’re just seven days from potentially seeing another legendary 10-second point down by “Blessed.”
Next weekend with mark the return of Holloway and Oliveira, who are two of the biggest fan favorites the sport has to offer right now. Fans gravitate to “Blessed” and “do Bronx” due to their well-rounded arsenals, toughness, and ability to produce some of the most memorable moments inside
of the Octagon. This includes Holloway’s epic last-second knockout finish over Justin Gaethje back at UFC 300.
While Holloway possesses an Octagon record that stands tall without his “BMF” knockout against Gaethje it has still become the defining-moment of his career. Many fighters have tried to replicate Holloway’s point down in the center of the Octagon in an attempt to play copycat, but nobody has been able to do it the same way “Blessed” did (or even look good trying). That’s because they’re not following Holloway’s official ruleset.
Check it out below:
“I saw the video of Charles practicing the point down. For the 10 seconds, I saw an interview of him saying that even if it’s in the first 10 seconds of the fight, he would happily oblige. I don’t think people get the sense of the 10 seconds. Ten seconds is for the end of the fight, when both guys agree, and the guy who’s winning is the one that needs to give you that blessing,” explained Holloway during a recent interview with David Adesanya.
“If you do call it, please do not step back, or shoot, or clinch. It’s 10 seconds- be smart and throw it out.”
Only time will tell if Holloway is able to turn in another point-down moment at UFC 326 next weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, but given Oliveira’s willingness to walk through fire there’s a good chance fight fans see something special.
