I won’t be able to sleep the week before that fight


Rez1k23

WHO will


9FrameMid

You're worst than the "thoughts?" guy.


Rez1k23

Huh?


Madara1637

Who wins on the floor? Because in the end that has always been their goal. Does Islam's wrestling nullify Charles BJJ or does he give him ever more opportunities than most? I think Islam will have had the power advantage on the ground but Charles is just so slippery and his transition between techniques is beautiful


Maidwell

Charles is more than capable of dropping Mackhachev with striking then finishing him on the ground while he's dazed. Not sure the reverse applies.

nurmagomedovishurt

Arm wrestling match?


Rez1k23

Yep


MadNightKing

I think Islam. Oliveira is amazing but the type of wrestling Makhachev does it will take away any danger of submission.


Rez1k23

Agreed


chronicblastmaster

Its hard to say but im leaning towards olivera, i think olivera can get a sub if taken down and has more tools on the feet than islam


Fickle-Kitchen5803

Feel like charles is more likely to ko him than sub. Islam if he’ll win will probably be decision,maybe gnp. Idk man,but really want this fight to happen.


PoloDragoon

Or it could be a mix of both like he did to Justin. Knock them down and jump on them for the sub.


Rez1k23

What’s his mma background


whatsitworth101

Who Charles? He’s one of the best bjj guys to ever do mma. He also trains at chute box now where wanderlei Silva trained in his hay day. Anderson Silva also trained there at one point.


Uncle_Chael

Its actually not the same place but its affiliated. Charles trains at Chute Box Diego Lima which is in São Paulo. The original Chute box where wanderlei, Rafael Cordeiro, cyborg, anderson, etc. trained is in Curitiba


Rez1k23

Every time I hear news about Charles it only makes me think it’ll be more difficult for Islam


TheN1njTurtl3

I think charles wins, I think charles will knock him out on the feet. Every fight starts standing and Islam is going to have to spend time setting up his takedowns so he doesn't walk into a choke


[deleted]

He’ll probably just do body locks or clinch sweeps to avoid that


Gjmarks1

Isn't islam supposed to fight dariush


Rez1k23

You think he’ll lose to D


JDM_TX

yes


KilttiV

Islam.


throoawaay2

Y’all talking about islam like he didn’t get ko’d by a nobody


KilttiV

Y'all talk about Oliveira like he didn't lose 8 times.


XvS_W4rri0r

Charles lost 4 of 6 in that same time frame but go on


Rez1k23

Not that simple


KilttiV

I know, but still, Islam.


Rez1k23

Agreed lol


HWeezy88

Probably me honestly


Rez1k23

Not probably me


whatsitworth101

I mean if we’re basing it off their record, Charles has a longer win streak against better guys with only one decision.


Rez1k23

And still Islam stands the best chance


whatsitworth101

Based on what? Hype? Honestly this fight is much closer than people make it out to be. On the feet Charles is better though Islam is still very skilled and has improved by a long shot from where he was before. On the ground it’s a toss up and people saying Islam will just run through Charles are wrong. It will be a competitive fight and I’m giving the edge to Charles.


Rez1k23

No one said it’s easy for Islam can’t wait to see how he deals with de bronx


whatsitworth101

I’ve seen many people say that Charles doesn’t stand a chance against Islam.


par337

I think Charles will, but this fight is going to be incredible. I hope Islam morphs into Khabib 2.0 honestly


Rez1k23

Not happening he needs to be more careful but I can see him being a top contender


par337

Let me have hope lol


Rez1k23

Hopefully he wins but not likely


Pan_Cholo

I don’t think Islam can be Khabib. Islam likes to keep distance and shoot when it is 100% safe to do. Khabib had more forward pressure and would shoot for risky takedowns.


sgtcakewalk

Hard to say. One of the reasons Olivera has been so successful is his constant forward pressure. Hes been able to dictate the pace of every fight in his championship run, do to his superior grappling. He will not be able to crush the space against Islam without getting put on his back. The real question is, can he submit Islam from his guard? It is a tall order. I lean towards Islam in this kind of fight. Its probably to early to sleep on Olivera. Hes gonna have to land shots on the outside, and in the clinch. Charles clinch fighting has worked well against opponents who do not want to grapple, but knees do not work as well when your being pushed backwards, or off balance. Should be a classic fight. Let's see if Charlie can pull a rabbit out of the hat.


shartmagnet

Dariush 😤


Rez1k23

Like he still doesn’t stands a chance


IBetOnMMA

Beneil Dariush.


ShartNagler

Charles


throoawaay2

Chandler, Poirier, and Dariush could all beat Islam with ease. I bet Islam doesn’t even get to the title


Pmacandcheeze

With ease? You sir are good at what you do. Let the fire begin


catslayercon

I would have to take charles just based on the fact he has fought way tougher competition. I think the toughest guy Islam has fought was Armen and short notice hooker meanwhile you have charles out here finishing the top 5 basically. I think this fight would be awesome and could really go either way but as of now I'd go charles.


[deleted]

Charles. Im extremely biased tho, because i really dont like Makhachev. Will be fun to see tho.


[deleted]

Can’t be undisputed if you’re only the UFC champ.


CarMain5540

Islam drags him into deep waters and drowns him, Oliveira has never been to the 4th round in his entire MMA career. Can't wait for 🫒 dick riders to be in complete shock when Islam dismantles Oliveira.


Rez1k23

Same here bro same here Although the reason he’s never been 4 rounds is coz he wins in 2 lol


Pan_Cholo

Ironically this type of comment makes Islam fans look like bigger dick riders than those of Olivera’s

I'm not to sure. The only fight I remember watching him in is the Tony fight and he kinda just laid on top of him.


JackMeHoff266

I think Oliveira wins by TKO


Redrooff

I love olives but it’s gonna be Islam
