Charles Oliveira has expressed indifference towards the UFC’s “Baddest Motherf*****” title as he prepares to defend it against Diego Lopes. After winning the title in March against Max Holloway, Oliveira faced criticism for his grappling-heavy strategy, which some fans believed diverged from the title's intended spirit.

Key points from Oliveira’s remarks include:

• He acknowledges that pleasing everyone is impossible, stating, “God himself couldn’t please everyone, so imagine me.”
• Oliveira defends his approach by emphasizing that he prioritizes winning over entertaining the crowd. He noted that whether he trades punches or utilizes jiu-jitsu, he faces judgment either way.
• He remarked on the expectations surrounding the BMF title: “People might want to see two guys stand in front of each other, throw bombs... but I’m not here to please anyone.”

Despite his victory over Holloway, which showcased his dominance, Oliveira believes that his performance might have impacted future opportunities. He remarked, “A lot of people said, ‘If Charles had been more aggressive, maybe Charles could have gotten the kind of fight Max had with Conor.’”

Oliveira insists that his performance against Holloway was unmatched in the division, stating, “Nobody in the division has done to Max what I did to him.” With confidence, he concluded, “That belt is not for me.”
