Does Charles have to finish Dustin to win?

[Russ82]

Haven't seen a lot of Charles. And looking to bet some money here.

Dustin has stood in front of great strikers like Gaethje, Conor, Alvarez and come out on top.

My question is could Charles grapple fuck Dustin for five rounds to a decision? Or does he need a sub

 

[Bigmoney4166]

No, he could wrestle fuck him. But tbh, if he's controlling Dustin like that, he'll most likely break him and submit him. With that being said, I don't know who to favor in this fight.

If Oliveira beats Doostin it will be by a finish. Oliveira doesn’t have the grit and heart to go for 25 minutes against a dog like Doostin and end on top. His best bet is to take him down and get a sub.

 

[MarleyLynx]

His best chances imo are a finish. I think if it goes to a decision it will be from Poriers pressure even if Oliveira takes some rounds

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Yes absolutely Charles is not getting his hand raised without a finish.

But what the "experts" get wrong is that Oliveira has roughly the same probability of knocking Dustin out as he does subbing him.

 

[Question]

I think this is one of those fights that is 90% guaranteed a finish.

3 decision wins in 31 wins VS 2 decision losses in 6 losses... I don't fancy decision chances for Olives.

If he can grapplefuck Tony for three rounds, he can grapplefuck Dustin for five rounds.

I think he will try to finish Dustin though.

Whomever you pick, take the under 4.5 prop bet.

With that said, I think if Oliveira does win, it's much more likely it's a finish, in my opinion.

But everything is possible. If Oliveira can handle being hit by Poirier, I think Oliveira can win by ko, sub OR decision, with sub being a lot more likely than the other two, because if he hurts Poirier, I think he will hunt for a sub, but then again, he finished Chandler just a fight ago too so anything's possible.

Prolly.

I do lean towards Dustin by a bit though, purely because I'm not sure if Oliveira can handle Dustin's power. But I personally think Oliveira is a more skilled fighter of the two.

Excellent point, and now I don't have to make it lol.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

If it went to the cards, I’d favour Dustin.

I think Dustin's shift combo's are gonna be a big issue for Oliveira.
Mainly due to him not utilizing a lot of head movement and keeping his head on the center line.

 

[bigmacbub]

Dustins whoopin that ass. Late round 1 tko.

 

[Dude Incredible]

good question and yes, I think so. But I do not believe it has to be only a sub...I really think Charles has hit his special time and this will be a great fight in UFC LW history.

Edit: I've gone back to undecided at this time

Dustin may avoid shift combos because that’s a perfect way to get taken down with Do Bronx timing.

Chandler the all American D1 wrestler was taken down handily into the first round. Same with Tony every round.

I see Dustin doing his best work counterpunching when Oliveira is close. Oliveira fights very long and at range I see Dustin being at a disadvantage.

I think Oli's gonna win IMO, but Dustin is always game.
Probably by submission. His wrestling has been looking impressive on this streak of his, wouldn't be suprised if he took Dustin down early.

 

[13Seconds]

No he just needs to win 3 rounds and avoid getting finished himself
