Oliveira is a different animal now. He would have a great chance beating and avenging all his losses imo.
Agreed. It's actually really rare to see a guy build mental toughness the way Charles has, I give him a lot of props for that.I really think Charles moving up and filling out has helped with his durability which in turn has helped him build his confidence and not shut down mentally which he used to do.
I think Prime Frankie, Max and Pettis beat him. It's insane how underrated Prime, athletic Pettis is on this forum. He did some otherworldly shit. Max is just a tough matchup for him and has very underrated TDD. Frankie is just Frankie. I mean, that guy at his best is an all timer.
Let's just appreciate Charlie. The guy is such a breath of fresh air as a person and a champion.
If current Charles faces those guys at the time He faced em he only loses to Edgar and MillerCharles is basically in his prime right now. Great grappler with nice striking. Gets dropped but comes back. Can sub you standing or on the ground. He's currently 32 I believe.
Interestingly a lot of fighters he has lost to were in their prime while Charles was relatively young. Curious on how Current Prime Charles does against the following fighters in their prime at 155:
Cowboy
Felder
Edgar
Max
Pettis
FWIW I believe he lost to Jim Miller when he was younger but then won the rematch years later when Charles was closer to his prime.
Neither beat Holloway at 145.Max is being overated dude got his ass whooped by dp.
Prime olivera whoops max worse then dp did.
L to all

I think he beats Cowboy and Felder but I think the others are a toss-upCharles is basically in his prime right now. Great grappler with nice striking. Gets dropped but comes back. Can sub you standing or on the ground. He's currently 32 I believe.

Max still wins. Pettis is out of prime and loses. Edgar is out of prime and loses.
