Do you think Conor will knock out Oliveira?

[Goosemen]

I agree. He's gotten way to thick, but it's a hypothetical question my dude....

True, but coach Kav confirmed that he's not going back to LW so there's no point in speculating if he could beat anyone at LW.

 

[Worthmore]

Conor would KTFO him in first round

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

Connor would nutsack Shittyveira and make his lady leave him...







Script for Connor's evolved trashtalking from the future press conference. You're welcome.

After all this time, folks still can't seem to get his name right.

 

[Dave Poodle]

Wait, nobody in the UFC is actually talking about this fight happening? This is just fan shit, right?

Charles was trying to talk it up because he wants the PPV points.
Conor doesn't seem to have one shot KO power at LW and Oliveira hasn't been folding under adversity like he used to.

 

[Jose Beehive]

Olivenari roll the titanium leg

 

[jk7707]

No lol his stand up leaves him open as hell. Never seen a fighter hold their chin so high while striking. You tuck your chin or you get lit up.

It sure does. But Conor is so far from his best, he would get destroyed either way.

 

[wwkirk]

To answer the thread question:
No, because they will never fight each other.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

True, but coach Kav confirmed that he's not going back to LW so there's no point in speculating if he could beat anyone at LW.

Yeah, a better question would be whether he fights ex-LW at WW. Or if he actually challenges a true WW? Probably the former.

 

[Patof]

The fact that Conor is even mentioned for a title shot shows that the organization puts profit above legitimacy at an insane level.

As for the question, while I do agree that Conor has some stylistic advantage here, I don't think he pulls it off.

Hungry Conor from 2016? Maybe. But super rich Conor who has been acting broken since the Khabib fight? No way.

 

[Ace70 V2]

I don't think they will ever fight

 

[mangokush]

The problem is with Conor now is that he seems to act like Brock when he gets overwhelmed with punches like in his last 2 fight against Dustin

Yup.

Gonna start my Bruce Lee vs <insert fighter> thread in a moment.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Conor will wilt and gas and fall apart when Charles starts kneeing him to the body and clinches him. Charles by TKO round 2

 

[Swarthy]

Conor takes whatever belt he wants.

Blessin deze Bums!!

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Assuming he gets the rumored title shot. On paper it's a great fight for Conor. But there are question marks relating his new, mechanical leg.

So do you see Conor handling Oliveira? Or Oliveira sub him when he gasses?

Conor is without a doubt the better striker and can knock his ass out.

Charles likes to strike and get hit. So it's a close one in normal circumstances. Either dude can win with Charles being the slight favourite cause their ground game gap is bigger than their striking gap.

However, Conor has ring rust like never before. So this version of Conor will be way weaker so the chances rise from 60-40 in Oliveras favour to probably 85-15.

Ring rust is a huuuuuuuuuuge factor.

 

[G10]

No. Charles is better everywhere at this point. And it doesn't look like Conor is ever making 155 again anyway.

This

 

[KingBeef]

Fight ain't happening. But if it did, Charles is taking one of Conor's limbs home with him.

 

[Brock Lesnar's beard]

True, but coach Kav confirmed that he's not going back to LW so there's no point in speculating if he could beat anyone at LW.

Again ITS A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION MY DUDE. It's not meant to be taken seriously, it's pure speculation. Do you really hate Connor that much that you have to keep chiming in? Lol

 

[eighterumg5]

That motherfucker hasn't earned a title shot

 

[Whitewater Summer]

They’ll never fight.
