“Charles, I think he needs to take six months off, for sure. And then call Sean Shelby and tell him that I told him he has to fight with the Max Holloway. After Holloway's fight with Dustin, Dustin is out, retired. Max can rest a little, because (he will fight in July), maybe this guy will fight in December, January", declared Durinho on the OverDogs Podcast.

Following his speech, the athlete suggested that Charles not only fight Max, but that he have the BMF title at stake.

“Make the ‘BMF’ belt for Charles. I think Charles (wins). I like this fight, two legends. I don’t think they’ll make another run at the title. But for BMF, it’s a good fight,” he concluded.
