When I say this, by no means am I acting like this wasn't a boring fight. Putting a grappler in a "BMF" fight is asking for this to happen.
That being said, I'm seeing a lot more hate towards Oliveira than towards Holloway. Holloway couldn't defend the takedown, at all. Charles is in no way to blame for that. Holloway looked like absolute shite, and was even losing the striking exchanges when he had the chance. Rosas had the same gameplan a few fights before this one and was praised for it.
All that to say this- either A)put two actual strikers in the fight that you're promoting as the BMF, or B) get rid of it. And getting mad at Charles for keeping Max off the feet is a complete casual take. You should be mad Holloway couldn't defend the takedown.

Oliveira completely physically dominated that fight start to finish. At that level, that’s on Max. He got abused.

Or C) put actual rules in place for a BMF fight that is different than a normal fight. I’ve seen this talked about since then. If someone like Oliveira isn’t comfortable with the rules, then fine he doesn’t get the fight.
The problem with this matchup was that it was an actual contender fight for a title shot. Can’t blame Oliveira for just getting the win in order to get his shot

I hate how you nerds overuse this word so much
Oh, so you don’t think you’re a ‘casual’? What exerts sets you apart from everyone else?

I can tell you're one of the meat heads who was yelling "This isn't a real fight!!! Charles is gae for this!!!!!"

A) putting a grappler in the BMF fight against a non grappler (neither fighters fault)
B) Charles not even trying to stand with Max. I understand wanting to win but it is a BMF belt and you just won 4 rounds on the guy. I am not upset with Charles for trying to win. I do think he's a pussy for not trying to stand with him for a few minutes throughout the fight or at the end.
If Charles took the last 30 seconds or even actually gave the full 10 sec at the end instead of hugging him the sentiment would be different.
Charles could have done more knowing it was a BMF fight regardless of game plan. The point of BMF is NOT being scared to throw down. He purposely avoided it with the fear of it ending badly. It just wasn't a BMF fight. Its done, get rid of it.
With that being said I have mad respect for Charles and he dominated the fight.

Nah, I completely agree with the OP, just hate how a certain portion of MMA fans insist on always using that word
*** I do think Charles is gay. His trainer too
But that has nothing to do with Saturday’s fight.

I get that the frustration comes with it being for the BMF title, which I think should go away, but there is no way if I won rounds 1-4 I am going to stand and throw with Max Holloway to end the fight. In a boxing match something very similar is likely to happen. Lots of clinching and riding it out. No reason give up a sure win by opening yourself up to someone who truly has a puncher's chance.
If Oliveria were able to do this to Ilia and get to round 5 up 4 rounds to 0, no one who has Oliveria's best interest at heart is going to tell Oliveria to exchange blows with Illia.

And this is the problem. You are saying that in no way would the "Baddest Motherfricker" stand and fight with the current BMF with fear of getting knocked out. That is the exact opposite of baddest motherfricker.
He straight up just ruined the whole belt and point of the belt. He could have saved it by proving he wasn't scared to stand up with Max and he did the exact opposite.
Meanwhile Max went 5 rds out of his comfort zone, didn't get submitted, and still gave the dude props without shitting on him after the fight. Class act.

Well the difference here is that Illia isn't a pussy and would 100% throw hands in that scenario.
The most embarrassing part of the fight was seeing Charles hold onto him too long before the 10 seconds and almost freaking out realizing he ruined it. Screw everything else, the dude was too scared to even give him 10 seconds. That is not the BMF.
The issue is that this fight was seen as a path to the Title and was treated that way instead of treated as its own belt with its own respect.
He was not fighting for the BMF, he was fighting for the best chance at a LW title fight.

ETA: sounds like Max got dominated by a BMF'r
