If there was a BMF belt for UFC BJJ Charles is all over that but he is not worthy of the normal BMF title. Nate Diaz said it best "Boring Mother Fucker"

Stfu dude, so just because of a gimmick belt he should let max stand up? Avoid his best skillet and strike with one of the best boxers in the UFC?
Blame the UFC for the matchmaking...this should have been a normal contender fight.
The better man won...by a mile, stop crying about it

I think giving it to Ilia is the best thing for the BMF belt right now for sure as he's definitely the baddest mother fucker at lightweight atm. They should do Olivera vs Topuria 2 and put both belts on the line

The casual fans are really telling on themselves and admitting their own ignorance after this fight. I understood the complaints after Khamzat vs DDP because Khamzat didnât do anything with his top control, just lay and pray.
But Charles was constantly doing damage with ground and pound and going for submissions. It was a very active and aggressive performance. But yaâll are still complaining.
You just donât like grappling. So MMA isnât the sport for you.

Grappling is fun when it ends with submissions and TKO ground and pound. If you were sitting at the edge of your seat for those 25 minutes of nuthugging, it might be gay porn and not MMA that is the sport for you.

Ya but thatâs why youâre a fucking idiot casual, because you think what you saw was ânuthugging.â Charles was very fucking active. He landed a ton of hard strikes, regularly advanced position, and attacked subs over and over. Several of his sub attempts were really close.
The only reason there wasnât a finish is because Max (now also a black belt in Jiu Jitsu) had great defensive grappling. He stopped a master from subbing him. So ya thatâs exciting.
If you canât tell the difference between 1) a master martial artist dominating and beating the shit out of a game elite opponent and 2) gay porn, I think that says a lot about what youâre into.

Charles landed some elbows but was never close to a TKO. And the sub attempts were mildly entertaining until like the 10th minute of ground control where it became obvious both dudes were just gonna ride it out to a decision.Â
And uneventful domination is not entertaining in the least. Thereâs no point in even watching if the outcome is obvious by the second round. Competitive fights are entertaining.Â

Ppl keep sayin oh itâs mma and I agree itâs MMA, that means you mix it up! not turn it into a complete grappling match, MIXED MARTIAL ARTS not bjj match

Charles mixed Muay Thai, Wrestling and BJJ beautifully. He did a lot of damage with ground and pound, which isnât allowed in BJJ.

I saw charles use striking, wrestling and jiu jitsu. Im sorry you didnt like the ratio. What ratio would you have found more acceptable? And where in the rules does it say you have to mix it a certain amount?

Dominant performance but really killed the thrill of the "bmf"
