I went with Oliveira by sub, we saw the guillotine and d'arce attempts on Tsarukyan, and if he locked those in on Chandler they'd be subs, not attempts
 
I am going with Oliveira on this one but I think Chandler is a very live dog. I think this is do or die for Chandler. If he loses at his age he will never get a title shot in the UFC again (except if he is a last minute replacement). The bigger problem to me is what do you do with the winner? They shouldn't be fighting for a title off of one win.

I would say if Chandler wins then it is Chandler vs. Moicano for the next title shot. If Oliveira wins I say it is Oliveira vs. Hooker for the next title shot after Arman.
 
I'll destroy freakin Moicano in the first round then I'll fight the winner of this one.

Then I'll take the belt from Islam after I sleep him.

So are you going to fight Moicano as the headliner of UFC Fight Night Manchester in March?

Hypothetically speaking of course....

<{ohyeah}>

I'm pretty sure the UFC is billing Oliveira vs Chandler as the number 1 contender match for who fights the Islam vs Arman winner.

Chandler thinks he is the number 1 contender if he wins, but that could be the UFC doing him a solid as he stood by during the entire Conor fiasco. With Charles, it's hard to see the UFC wanting to make that fight again. Charles pulling out yet  again would be embarrassing.

There isn't anyone on a long win streak with a top 5 win so Charles vs Chandler makes sense for the next title shot unless the winner of Islam vs Arman is going to be out a while.

Moicano vs Hooker would be a good in the meantime.
 
Both are chinny
Both got shitty defense

Oliveira is at the end of his prime - Chandler very old and has bad cardio

Could be a rerun with Chandler hurting Oliveira, but Oliveira coming back.

Nobody has bragging rights in this one, it's whover lands first and finishes. Those guys could go 5 - 5 against each other and would never see the score cards in a 5 rounder.
Oliveira 60:40 due to cardio and age
 
Chandler was definitely cresting the hill already. There's no reason to think this fight's going to be any different the the first. Oli by sub, after knocking down a reckless chandler
 
Charles by submission...

But I want the UFC to go wacky... Chandler wins , Conor comes back and gets the Islam fight instead :)
 
Congratulations to... nobody!! :eek:

Charles Oliveira by Decision

All 80 of us who voted in the poll got it wrong, who would've thought?
