While Whittaker doesn’t exactly understand what the BMF title signifies, he is sure that there is none more deserving of the honor than Holloway. Whittaker recalls Holloway's iconic point down in the final seconds of his fight againstJustin Gaethje, and knocking him out in a buzzer beater. Whittaker believes no one except Holloway has the guts to invite their opponent to a slugfest in the final seconds of a fight that they were already winning convincingly. While “The Reaper” likes Oliveira, he is concerned that the Brazilian will suffer serious damage against Holloway.Safety Concerns“I don’t think Max can lose that title,” Whittaker toldSubmission Radio. “You can’t be up five rounds and then point to the center of the Octagon — nobody else does that. Nobody else can. They don’t have the cojones. I worry for Oliveira, I love him like everyone else does, but Max is a better striker. Oliveira is gonna get hurt, man. He gets hurt in a lot of fights.”Holloway (27-8) is 4-1 in his last five, with the loss coming in a failed featherweight title bid againstIlia Topuria. “Blessed” has since rebounded with a win overDustin Poirierin his last fight. Meanwhile, Oliveira (36-11) is coming off a submission win overMateusz Gamrotthat saw him rebound from a knockout loss in a failed lightweight title bid against Topuria.
