I used to call charles oliveira "The Brazilian Tony Ferguson"

[Pious Augustus]

I used to call him that

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

why? because he's got a soccer player living in the walls of his house?

 

[Goatbib]

I used to call Fergusson "The Mexican Oliveira"

 

[Pious Augustus]

why? because he's got a soccer player living in the walls of his house?

Because he looks like him and have many similarities in his fighting style too
even his haircut back in the day, hence the Brazilian Ferguson

 

[usernamee]

one big difference would be the mentality as T-ferg always been the batshit crazy warrior walking through devastating blows and you have Oliveira at the opposite spectrum

 

[Harozim]

they r much alike.
similar fighting from the back, similar body type, HELLBOWS.

both of them also tend to take many chances...

BUT... tony has a much bigger heart...

 

[llperez22]

great fight. Olivera's standup has come on strong and hes excellent off his back just like Tony. He wins this and hes right in the title picture. Curious to see how Tony looks coming off the loss to Justin. Too bad this isnt a 5 rounder, I think were going to have a close back and forth scrap.

The biggest question is

who is the biggest human punching bag Tony or Olivera

 

[EmEmEh?]

Cool story bro.

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Oliveira is a quitter and Ferguson is a disorganized lunatic.

Oliveira perhaps has better talent to pick up mechanics of fighting but has no Ferguson's heart which is also aspect of fighting.

No similarities other than looking like skeletons.

Tony will butcher him.

 

[VinceArch]

Oliveira has been on a decent tear but it stops at Tony.

No similarities other than looking like skeletons.

There are some similarities in their ground games. That's about it.

 

[Razor]

People seem to forget Charles has been in the UFC for 10 years

This is why Tony will probably finish him.

Similar styles but I feel like Oliveira's offensive BJJ is slightly better while Ferguson's defensive BJJ/grappling is a bit better
