Conor McGregor blasts Charles Oliveira vs Max Holloway fight

Conor McGregor on X reacted angrily after watching the UFC 326 fight between Charles Oliveira and Max Holloway.

“DC on max on top “he should stall” lol. He should have elbowed all the open targets. Payback. “Stall” lol f___ off. Shockingly bad fight. I am shocked,” McGregor wrote.

He added: “Charles is a little Charlie ahahaha very bad Charles very bad. Hang your head, bad. Good luck. Don’t crown that belt.”

The criticism came after Oliveira defeated Holloway at UFC 326, a bout where the Brazilian relied heavily on grappling and control across multiple rounds.

That approach frustrated some viewers who were hoping for a more striking-heavy contest between the two fighters. McGregor clearly fell into that camp and did not hide his disappointment with how the fight played out.

This latest reaction showed that the former two-division champion was far from impressed with the UFC 326 main event.
