February 26, 2026 Breaking Down Holloway vs Oliveira | UFC 326
👊🏻 In this episode, we’re breaking down the UFC 326 main event: Max Holloway vs Charles Oliveira for the BMF title, diving deep into how this fight could play out across every phase.

We start on the feet, analyzing Holloway’s elite volume, footwork, and defensive awareness against Oliveira’s power, kicking game, and ability to create damage in key moments.

Then we get into the grappling. Can Oliveira find a path to the ground and capitalize on his submission threat, or will Holloway’s elite takedown defense keep this fight where he wants it?

Finally, we talk intangibles: pace vs chaos, durability, championship experience, motivation, and what this fight means for the lightweight title picture.

February 06, 2026 Derrick Lewis’ Coach Talks UFC White House, BMF Belt, Ilia Topuria, Arman Tsarukyan & Much More!
⬇️ Kru Bob's Instructionals ⬇️

👊🏻 Introduction to Striking for MMA: https://dynamicstriking.com/products/the-ultimate-introduction-to-striking-for-mma-by-bob-perez?_pos=1&_sid=375ebf4c4&_ss=r

👊🏻 MMA Pad Holding Blueprint: https://dynamicstriking.com/products/mma-pad-holding-blueprint-by-coach-bob-perez?_pos=1&_sid=375ebf4c4&_ss=r

👊🏻 In this episode, we’re joined by Kru Bob Perez, longtime coach of Derrick Lewis, for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with Lewis’ latest fight, injury questions, and what could be next — including the real possibility of him appearing on the UFC White House card.

From there, we move into UFC Houston, breaking down fighters Kru Bob has worked with on the card, stylistic matchups, and what he’s seeing from the gym level heading into fight week. The discussion naturally opens up into coaching philosophy, preparation, and the realities of managing fighters at the highest level of the sport.

We also dive deep into the technical and mental side of MMA — from why hard sparring and gym wars can do more harm than good, to why fans often underestimate what it takes just to make it to the UFC. Kru Bob shares insight on what separates elite fighters, why Merab Dvalishvili is built different, and how small technical details often decide fights.

On the matchup side, we break down Strickland vs Hernandez, the psychology of the BMF fight between Holloway and Oliveira, and why Ilia Topuria is so hard to stop. We close by discussing Topuria vs Pereira, Topuria vs Tsarukyan, why Ilia vs Islam depends entirely on weight class, and how the lightweight picture could shape the next few years.

This is an honest, behind-the-scenes look at MMA from a coach’s perspective — equal parts technical, philosophical, and real.
