A seemingly small glitch on the official UFC Brazil account became a loud talking point for the MMA community. Fans were quick to react after the account briefly posted and removed a graphic promoting Max Holloway against Charles Oliveira for the BMF title at UFC 324 in January.

The timing strengthened speculation, since both fighters have been chasing this rematch. Oliveira has spoken of wanting marquee fights and sees Holloway as the ideal opponent for it. Holloway has echoed the interest and often pushed back on Oliveira’s belief that an early injury shaped their first fight.

Several fans took to X to react to the post, with one fan writing:

"Somebody's getting fired, but did it for the people. Not the hero we deserve but the hero we need."

Meanwhile, other fans wrote:

"Make this the main event and make Paddy [Pimblett] vs. [Justin] Gaethje a three-rounder, no interim belt [fight]."
"Loves Charles, but he is not the BMF. That title is for people who have been in WARS. Charles would’ve never made it out alive in some of the battles Max has faced."

Holloway is coming off a unanimous decision win against Dustin Poirier at UFC 318. Meanwhile, Oliveira returned to his grappling strengths with a submission win over Mateusz Gamrot in Rio after suffering a knockout loss to Ilia Topuria earlier in the year.

For now, UFC 324 remains unchanged with Justin Gaethje against Paddy Pimblett at the top of the card, supported by Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes and several high-profile bouts.


Max Holloway has kept the door open for Charles Oliveira rematch

Max Holloway did not need long to address Charles Oliveira’s callout after the Brazilian returned to form in Rio with a second-round submission of Mateusz Gamrot. The win revived talk of a second meeting with Holloway, a decade after their first bout.

Holloway welcomed the idea and said March is a realistic window, though he made it clear he prefers Las Vegas over a return to Brazil. Speaking on his stream on Kick, Holloway said:

“No, I’m not going to Rio. Fight in Las Vegas or something. We fight on my terms. We fight on my terms, brother. We went to Rio, we did that with the King of Rio, now it’s my turn to have a say. When you fight the King of Rio in some place, you take his village, right? You guys might be looking at the King of Rio. Just saying, check the receipts. Hawaii ain’t never going to have a fight. You've got to get over that. Chances of Hawaii having a fight with me on it are zero, boys. I’m sorry. I am so sorry, but it is what it is.”
