Charles Oliveira vs. Islam Makhachev 2 - Who are you rooting for?

[Lee_]

Islam is very active and imo will proof it to everyone in 2024.

Predictive analysis.

I'll always root for Chucky Olives, he's just a class act all around and the most exciting and active champion we've had in recent years.

He's up against a monster in Islam tho

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Fan of both but I want BJJ to shine!

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Islam
Too many hate him for 2 reasons

He's a Muslim and his association with Khabib

 

[blaseblase]

Rooting for both Charles Oliviera and Leon Edwards so this talk of a crossover title fight can go fuck itself. Belal and Gaethje are the number one contenders.

Because he's a Muslim he receives hate....That's funny especially on Sherdog.

Charles man. What a fucking career. His finish rate alone I wish he'd grab the belt and get to 4 total defenses and then dip.



Almost heresy. Yeah the excuses are bullshit, but 34 wins 31 finishes dude. Nobody does that. The go-for-broke mentality isn't prevalent in today's MMA or the last 10 years really and he's still doing it, and has tons of impressive wins.

I honestly prefer that to all of these 15-1 and 18-3 decision artists who fight nobodies as late as possible into their career and then fight 3-4 good people at the end. That's why he has such a slobbering fan base.

Anybody who calls Islam a decision artist is a straight up casual lol. You can look up his record for free buddy.

Yeah, that is laughable. I am a devout Muslim and I am rooting for Charles simply because he is a more exciting fighter, I think he represents the division well and has a broader appeal due to his charismatic personality and flamboyance. Has nothing to do with race, religion, sexual orientation, geographical region, planet, gender etc. All about showmanship.

I guess he’s constantly called an “inbred” and sometimes even a terrorist because fans don’t like his grappling lol. Get real man, a huge chunk of the hate he receives is because of his identity, not his personality or fighting style.

 

[sonhow]

Charles all the way.

 

[moosaev]

So Charles is the Sherdog fav 3-1 at this point.

Damn! That 25% sure makes a lot of noise.

Or maybe you’re just obsessed with that 25% and conveniently ignore all the obnoxious shit Charles fans like yourself do.

Yeah....he's so persecuted man..
Any fighter on Sherdog that talks about religion or is openly religious gets bashed on Sherdog so it has nothing to do with the Fact that he's a Muslim.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Charlie. Tired of the religious fundamentalists wrestlers dominating MMA.

Yes from some that is 100% the reason

Don't forget cave dweller, that was an old favourite of A certain poster who definitely hated on Muslims. He still does,but he is much more subtle in his attacks

I don’t think you know what “constantly” means.

 

[MeatWagon06]

110% rooting for JBG DISCIPLE DO BRONX OLIVEVIRA

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Islam is actually willing to be much more active then Charles. Islam wanted to fight this summer, which would‘ve been his third fight in 8-9 months. But UFC had other plans. You guys need to stop acting like Islam is inactive, its not his fault.

Yeah thats a bunch of BS I'm afraid, he has never been anywhere near as active as Charles.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

That's why Islam fought a virtual draw with someone 2 weight classes down? Don't think so.

He won, at least 3 rounds...

Colby got outgrappled by RDA...

TBF, cave dweller could also be a geographical thing, because he lives in the mountains.
