Charles Oliveira’s wife, Vitoria Brum, recently defended her husband’s performance against Mauricio Ruffy’s criticism.
Oliveira (37-11) challenged Max Holloway for the BMF title in the main event at UFC 326 earlier this month. Oliveira controlled Holloway on the ground for over 20 minutes to earn a dominant decision victory. However, Oliveira’s win received mixed reactions from fans and pundits. While some lauded the dominant performance, others deemed it lukewarm considering the BMF title at stake. To Oliveira’s credit, he threatened Holloway with multiple submission attempts.
Ruffy (13-2) was also critical of Oliveira’s performance, citing the lack of damage “do Bronx” landed on Holloway. Oliveira’s wife came to his defense, reminding Ruffy that there will be grappling in an MMA fight. Brum further noted that Oliveira has more submission wins than Ruffy has overall fights.
“Let's schedule a boxing match then, because if you want to fight, then damn MMA will have jiu-jitsu!” Brum wrote on Instagram (translated by Google). “Ruffy, don't try to ride my husband's wave, because what he has in submissions, you don't have in fighting!”
Ruffy is 4-1 in the UFC and coming off a knockout win over Rafael Fiziev. Ruffy is scheduled to fight Michael Chandler at FUFC White House on June 14.
