The Brazilian superstar just delivered a spectacular performance at UFC Rio, submitting Mateusz Gamrot in the second round to get back on track after suffering the first knockout loss of his career. But instead of taking a breather, Oliveira immediately set his sights on something special: a rematch with Max Holloway for the BMF title.<\/p><p>The former lightweight champion looked absolutely dominant in front of his home crowd at the Farmasi Arena. He became the first fighter ever to <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/ufc-rio-results-charles-oliveira-dominates-mateusz-gamrot-deiveson-figueiredo-coasts-through-montel-jackson-and-more\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>finish Gamrot<\/a> inside the distance, locking up a nasty rear-naked choke that had the Brazilian fans going absolutely wild. It was vintage Charles Oliveira, showing exactly why he holds the UFC records for most submissions and most finishes in promotional history. The win pushed his Brazilian fight record to a perfect mark and reminded everyone why he&rsquo;s considered one of the most dangerous grapplers the sport has ever seen.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Charles Oliveira Wants Max Holloway And His BMF Belt<\/h2><p>Right after getting his hand raised, Oliveira grabbed the microphone and made his intentions crystal clear. He looked directly at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC<\/a> brass and called out Hunter Campbell, the company&rsquo;s chief business officer.

The BMF champion acknowledged their shared history but wasn&rsquo;t buying Oliveira&rsquo;s injury excuse from their first meeting. While on his Kick stream. Holloway pointed out that Oliveira keeps blaming their initial fight on some kind of injury, and now they can figure it out properly.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong><em>&ldquo;Me and him have a history.
