And Paddy the Baddy. He also predicted Oliveira.

@Argonaut

Aljemain Sterling favors Charles as well and was shocked by the odds. He saw the odds in favor of Islam and said "based on what?!"

It's pretty funny that people are trying to claim that Khabib and Islam are as dominant as Chares. What world are you living in? Charles is beating these guys at their own game in the striking and then finishing them on the ground. He's showing dominance in all aspects of the sport which Khabib and Islam could only dream of.

what world are we living in? We live in a world where the flavor of the month gets the GOAT status. The moment that Charles loses, his nuthuggers will jump ship and find the next flavor to enjoy.

This gif also doesn't lie.

This striking defense is hilariously bad no? I think it's safe to say his level of opposition and dominant wrestling is to thank for that stat. If he were engaged in mainly standup fights against top opposition, that stat would be vastly different.

Kebab's defense seemed much better, even against good strikers.

That was a terrible fucking stoppage.

If having a black belt means intelligence and wisdom, I would post every waking hour to achieve it.


That aside, people are biased on what’s GOAT and what’s not GOAT according to them. In general, people choose what to believe and selectively pick facts to back up their beliefs.

This, the goat debate is absolutely pointless. Everyone has their own standards. Live and let live

Who do you Guys think is more likely to need the towel at weigh in? I think Charles comes in at 154 and Islam uses the towel. Any of you Eagles MMA junkies even know if Islam has ever made 155?

Olives missed weight 5 times in the ufc Islam missed weight 0 times.

There were 2 question in the post you just quoted. You didn't address either of them.

I would have started a new thread, but it would just get dumped here. So do you have towel prediction or not?

 

[Joshuaace]

@moosaev

Has Islam made 155 previously? When?

What's your thoughts on what Bradillic said?

Lol that's a dumb question by Aljo - it's obviously based on what people are willing to risk their money towards.

Predicting Islam to win is a less popular take, because Charles has exciting fights, he's from the fevelas, was stripped of the title and has a catchy "champion had a name" line.

All else equal, fighters know they'll get criticized by fans in comments for "disrespecting the champ" if they predict for or root for Islam.

I'm not saying no fighters would predict Oliveira to win, but the numbers are skewed because favoring Oliveira is the popular thing to do.

Same thing here...the free voting results are opposite of where people are putting their money.

Oh. I think it's too dumb to merit a serious response.

The truth hurts. Khabib and Islam can't compete against any of these top guys on the feet, while Charles is literally walking through them.

Khabib stood and traded longer with Justin and didn't get sat on his ass in the process like Olives which is basically his M.O now. Don't worry once Olives chin goes for good and his 15 minutes are up I'm sure you'll move on like a prostitute to the next guy.
