i recall reading a week or two ago that charles was going to pull out of this fight. it doesnt look like he has been training much either in recent weeks. I went with chandler because of this.
 
I will favor Charles here, more durable and comes back and he's got the submission threat.

60/40 Charles by finish. No way this make it to 5 rounds.
 
Oliveira is hittable and Chandler hits hard. So there’s always that chance and we saw that nearly happen in the first fight. But I think the key to beating Oliveira is being able to engage him in his safe place, which is on the ground. Otherwise, he can recover if he gets hurt or force wild grappling exchanges in which he can find submissions from anywhere.

I don’t think Chandler has the grappling to engage Oliveira there safely for extended periods. He’s also quite hittable himself and Oliveira also has power. I think it’s fairly likely Chandler hurts Oliveira again early but is again unable to fully capitalize on it. Eventually Oliveira hurts him and subs him or catches him in a wild scramble.
 
Oliveira by ko or sub. Leaning ko because it will get wild.
 
Oliveira forces a bad shot out of Mike and chokes him out.
 
Oliveira knee up the middle, KO. First round.
