Alexander Volkanovski believes that Charles do Bronx will need to act quickly if he wants to leave with his arm raised at UFC 326 , scheduled for next Saturday (7). The Brazilian faces Max Holloway in the main event, in a fight valid for the 'BMF' belt . Former featherweight champion (up to 65,7 kg) and former rival of the Hawaiian, with whom he has shared the octagon on three occasions, the Australian understands that the best opportunities for the ' Bold Lion' will be concentrated in the initial rounds of the confrontation.

In a video published on his YouTube channel , Volkanovski analyzed the duel and projected a scenario of extremes: in the Australian's view, Charles needs to finish the fight early on, because if the fight goes on, the odds tend to favor Holloway . The former champion even stated that he sees a greater probability of the Hawaiian winning by submission or knockout than by judges' decision.
“Either Charles lands a punch early on and finishes the fight, or he gets submitted in the final rounds. I’m more inclined to believe Max will win by stoppage rather than decision,” said Volkanovski.

How did #CharlinhoDay come about?
The idea of supporting Charles do Bronx at UFC 326 through the creation of #CharlinhoDay was born as an adaptation of the digital movement #NeyDay. Unlike the mobilization created by Neymar fans, which became a tradition during PSG's games in the 2020 Champions League, the version dedicated to the former UFC champion was conceived with the goal of uniting the Brazilian MMA audience.
According to the initiative's creator, the choice of Charles was natural, since the São Paulo native has popular appeal and represents one of the most emblematic names in sports in the country, making him the main link to engage the community around the campaign on social media.
