Both Charlie Olives and Islam are Overrated Mega Thread

[Kwic]

He dominated Tony who is top5. It's not being overrated. He is elite if he beats top5.

The 'overrated' Oliveira is about to succeed your beloved Khabib as LW champ.

Charles stood his ground when demented ex fighters with minuscule youtube shows and the very pathetic MMA media said "theres no way he is getting a title shot". He knew he had the support of the real fans that actually buy stuff not the undesirable housebound ones, common sense, and close relationships with UFC personnel that a true veteran like Oliveira formed and kindled over the past decade.

Your boy Islam is back to the prelims and good riddance! He will soon be joined by the vertically challenged Michael Chandler.

I actually want Olives to win the title (I can’t stand Chandler), but Olives will get slept unfortunately.

I literally gave a side by side on Gaethje, Poirier and Khabib's top wins. Olives big wins pale in comparison, it's like night and day. I'm not saying Olives is a bum, i'm saying he hasn't proven that he's at the very elite of the division.

Well he's about to fight the elite and you still seem to have a problem with it. As a fighter all you can do is beat who they put in front of you. As fans we evaluate the performance and lobby for said fighter to fight better comp. Whether your "impressed" or not doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to be fighting the best.

He’s fortunate that Khabib has retired and Poirier is chasing after the money fight. Let’s not pretend that he’s beaten anybody significant, he hasn’t. Unfortunately I don’t see him beating Chandler, I’ll happily come back here and eat crow if he does. But he won’t, he’ll mentally collapse.

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Overrated is a strong word for a fighter who's gone on an 8 fight win streak inside MMA's best division, with seven of those fights being finishes...

You can be good and still be overrated. hence, you can even be great and overrated.

That is true, however, TS' OP sounded disrespectful to me, which - if it's meant that way - isn't fair in regards to Oliveira.

Khabib 'The Quitter' Nurmadov decided he would rather give up the belt than fight Oliveira so its laughable you are saying that.

And Islam as predicted is headed back to the prelims.

You just keep taking Ls. You make a thread "how overrated is Oliveira" and two days later he is fighting for a title <45>

You suck lmfao just stop. turn off your computer try again in a year.

 

[Krushey]

In other words you agree with the OP The point of the thread is that Olives needs an elite top 5 win for a title shot. He seems to think he deserves one immediately and he’s sitting out as a result.

I know you're dense but I think you missed the point of the thread...

Your all over the place man. You can't complain about him not beating anybody then complain about him when he gets better competition.

 

[Argonaut]

OP right now

 

[moosaev]

Your all over the place man. You can't complain about him not beating anybody then complain about him when he gets better competition.

If Olives manages to beat Chandler he’ll win me over, I’ve said that multiple times on many different threads. I don’t know where you’re getting the impression that I’m complaining that he’ll get tested. My only observation is that his resume is inflated, so when people talk about how much he deserves this or that I just shake my head.

 

[fortheo]

I think he's done pretty well for himself.

moosaev on suicide watch

 

[Azor]

Not sure how anyone can feel good about this consider both dudes nearly got KO'd completely.

Reminds me of Arlovski vs Sylvia. It sucks.

 

[Fedor_Silva]

Chandler? Never that good

Look at this supposedly "great" win streak. You compare this to Gaethje, Poirier of Khabib's recent records and its embarassing. So tell me again why Olives deserves to be mentioned in their category? Chandler has a stronger case IMO.

Tony Ferguson: I think everyone agrees he's washed and Olives picked the bones off the carcass that Gaethje already ate

Kevin Lee: Most overrated LW of all time probably, lost 3 of his last 4.

Nick Lentz: 3 fight losing skid, already lost to Islam Makachev before Olives got the sloppy seconds

Jared Gordon: lol, no comment

David Teymur: Dude hasn't fought in over 2 years.

fuck off

 

[HyperrionMarteer]

Oh boy. This didn't age well

 

[Lawrence]

I don't see him as a top-5 talent, I need to see more from him against better fighters.

Seen enough?
