Charles Oliveira is going to dominate

I’m disappointed Arman’s nickname isn’t Principal - as in Principal Skinner.
 
Charles is dangerous but he gets caught nearly every fight and I don't see Arman letting him off the hook nor getting caught in a sub from being reckless.
 
Maybe.



Stronger? You sure about that?
he outmuscled gaethje and chandler. only person who outmuscled him at lw is islam who also was stronger than arman. they'll probably be pretty much even in strength.
 
Charles will quit again once he realized his faith is a rematch with Islam.

I always thought Charles had that quit in him…but I’m starting to believe he’s turned over a new leaf. I don’t know if you noticed him as of late but he found that lost dog
 
I'm liking Arman in this one... no hate at all on Charles but several of his more recent 'Great Performances' are come from behind.. and the Islam fight was closer to a blow out...
 
Only fighter Charles hasn't finished is Islam. He finished Dustin, Justin, Chandler, Benil. He fi ished the fighter fighting Islam and the fighter most say should be fighting g Islam. Yet many seem to think Arman wins. There's levels to it and Arman just isn't on Charles level.
 
I am one of the biggest Olivera fans on here but I am not super confident on this fight. Arman has sneaky power and fast hands and I think that could be the downfall for Charles here. Armans grappling doesn't worry me, Charles can handle him in that area. It's those sneaky shots in close he caught Dariush with.

I think who ever hurts the other first will take it, and it's gonna happen in the stand up.
 
Oliveira is still suffering the consequences of that 2010 Jim Miller kneebar. He isn't going to beat anybody.
 
I’m leaning Arman. But to be fair, as much as I like Charles, I often pick against him. Something about his wild style always makes me uncomfortable picking him. He just always seems vulnerable.

He is kill or be killed, one of the best to ever pursue and stick to that path.
The best defense is more offense.

He has gotten more durable and more dangerous as he has come into his late 20s and physical maturity. In true Charles form he utilizes these attributes by engaging in more dangerous standup exchanges. And even when he does get hurt most guys fear his BJJ and their hesitancy to engage him on the ground gives him time to recover.

I think he wins a firefight.

I definitely know his game, he’s one of the most gifted offensive fighters in the game. I just always have a tough time picking him because it is always a firefight where he also gets touched up. I’ve been wrong picking against him numerous times at this point, but I still just can’t quite feel confident with him. I know there’s not a lot of reason to not believe in him anymore but here I am, still always finding myself skeptical.

Don't forget to come here after the fight. Beating ustin brothers and Chandler is not that hard.
 
I can see Charles winning with the left-hook that he dropped Chandler with + g-n-p. Same left-hook that Silva almost KO'd Arman with back in June.

Charles by KO @ +750, or ITD @ +275 are great value plays. Fight ends in KO @ -105 is nice too because I do have a bad feeling that Arman is going to KO him.

If you turn over a leaf, you’re still the same old leaf.
 
Good call / I'm leaning in a similar direction. Charles likely gets the nod however solely based on being more marketable.
Is that how the next episode of your Truman Show goes?
