Gamrot is the only fight in the division that really makes sense for him, I think that's what they'll make.
I'd like to see Oliveira vs Fiziev more but Fiziev probably isn't ready & doesn't deserve that fight coming off two losses. Although they apparently did try to book him vs Poirier recently before BSD was chosen instead.

I’d be down to see that fight.
Charles is the man, though. Fights often, always in exciting fights, he doesn’t avoid anyone. What more could one want from a fighter?

Gamrot/Olives and BSD/Fiziev would be great. Moicano/Hooker/Dariush(any combo of the three) would work also.

You're right, It's just that Gamrot's performance against RDA and the Fiziev fight irks me so much I would hate for him to get rewarded with a #1 contender fight.

It's a perfectly logical fight to make, but man, I'm worried about gamrot's chin. He was dropped by arman, dropped by Dariush, dropped and rocked by Turner, dropped by RDA, and now wants a pretty quick turn around against charles.
I'll watch it.

Well it's not necessarily going to be a #1 contender fight, Oliveira was just in one vs Tsarukyan. We'll have to see how the title picture looks after Makhachev/Poirier happens and if Tsarukyan possibly gets his title shot before the end of the year.

If Oliveira starches Gamrot could that put him ahead of Tsarukyan for a title shot? July is just a month after Makhachev vs Poirier so I doubt Islam will already have another fight booked yet. I know it would be a short training camp but it might be smart for him to try and get on UFC 303 on June 29th. Put on an impressive performance in the co-main of a Conor card and I'm sure that'll score you some points.

Really doubt it. If Makhachev beats Poirier I'm sure they'll try to line up Makhachev vs Tsarukyan 2 for the Abu Dhabi PPV card in the fall.

Arman, Dariush, and Gamrot are superior wrestlers than Oliveira.
Dariush has the weakest chin of the bunch and got chinned by Oliveira.
Gamrot will be winning the grappling and probably win the fight unless he gets chinned.

They have to know Oliveira is a draw by now tho right? Why would they want Tsarukyan vs Makhachev?

Pass. Not interested in watching Gamrot pin Charles down and ride out a lackluster decision with the only excitement being at the end of the fight when Charles throws up a desperate submission attempt that isn't even fully locked in.

Gamrot vs Armen II should be the #1 contender fight... Charles should be asking for Max and the prestigious BMF belt.

Didn't Tsarukyan say he doesn't want to fight Islam in Abu Dhabi? I know he already turned down Islam and thats how we ended up with Poirier.

I never heard that, Arman just said he didn't want to do back to back camps understandably to fight Islam in June. I'm pretty sure Arman is willing to fight anywhere the UFC wants to fight for the title.

I don't really see that happening, Gamrot has good TD's and chain wrestling, but his top control isn't that great. Benny who has very good BJJ was able to get up and scramble non stop and Gamrot couldn't keep him down. It's that style that gets him caught in a submission, Gamort leaves so many openings in transitions.
I think Charles gets the submission here. Arman is pretty smart on the ground and doesnt leave too many openings and Charles nearly got him.

No, Arman should get his titleshot against the winner, enough with the B.S.
