If you’re going to watch and analyze all Oliveira’s losses, you’re going to be busy all day. He’s not Khabib or Islam.

Charles is a flake, we know, and he beats up kids at his gym ...

 

[User9992]

Obviously both fighters are not the same anymore. Especially Charles Oliveira who improved a lot since then.

 

[DOMMA]

One important distinction to make. The guys who beat Oliveira are all proven, successful, UFC veterans with a ton of big wins. My point, Charles is fighting top guys, all of the time. Islam was KOed by a scrub who never had another win in his MMA career.

 

[Mike]

And people talk like Charles is the goat with one more win lmao

Correct... both of them are different now.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

are u dumb, look at islam dominating top tier grapplers, charles get smashed by paul felder on the ground, theres level to this game and once again i say before fight they believe, after 1 round no believe

Are YOU dumb?

Look at the calibre of fighter Charles has been beating.

If you think it's just a matter of a 1 dimensional grinding grappler (yes, another one) taking him down and quickly subbing him, you're fucking delusional.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Can't wait for this fight to finally happen and we get our answers once and for all.

Sheep

 

[Dirty Frank]

Both fighters at the peak of their powers and both supremely confident.
Quite the matchup, truly

 

[El Fernas]

Its not a plan...its his only option, he is NOT standing with him, its not like he is being so proud on his takedown abilites, more like, its his only option, we all know it, this its not really a diss, Khabib would do the very same thing, the very same gameplan against Oliveira, Olives isnt lost on the ground tho, its a very good fight imo, but this is far from shocking or news worthy.

"Because I'm one dimensional AF and I know I'll get KTFO'd again if I try to stand with someone who has an average stand up game!"

Khabib was one dimensional AF too, beat everyone including 3 of the best strikers at LW to finish his run and retired undefeated, you cant hold Makhachev's his single loss against him from years ago, didnt he turned Hooker and Bobby green into a pretzel without breaking a sweat? Those are decent on on their feet.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

If you’re going to watch and analyze all Oliveira’s losses, you’re going to be busy all day. He’s not Khabib or Islam.

You're right. If one were to watch and analyze all of Khabib's and Islam's fights, they'd fall asleep.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Obviously both fighters are not the same anymore. Especially Charles Oliveira who improved a lot since then.

Oh cool, thanks for throwing that in.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

It doesn’t prove anything really, in either direction. People get caught if they fight long enough.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

If you’re going to watch and analyze all Oliveira’s losses, you’re going to be busy all day. He’s not Khabib or Islam.

Correct. Charles engages in entertaining fist fights. Khabib and Islam openly state that their goal is to lay on top of the guy and make him tired instead.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

A wrestler says he will take down another fighter quickly, more at 11.

Did this need to be its own thread?

If the focus of your life is living vicariously through another man, then yes, it needs to be its own thread.
