Max Holloway plans BMF title rematch vs. Charles Oliveira this summer

Max Holloway is open to rematching Charles Oliveira for the BMF title this summer after Oliveira issued a challenge, citing a desire to settle unfinished business from their 2015 bout that ended due to an injury. Holloway, who recently won the BMF belt by knocking out Justin Gaethje, responded positively to Oliveira's callout and suggested a date during International Fight Week in June. Oliveira's interest in the matchup stems from his wish to remain active while waiting for a potential title shot against current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, who may not return until later in the year. Both fighters are keen to add star power to the event, as their first encounter left fans wanting more after it was cut short. The fight's logistics remain uncertain, as Oliveira's plans could be influenced by Makhachev's availability. Nonetheless, the prospect of a rematch is generating excitement among fans of both fighters.
