I question Oliveiras Durability

[Mesos]

Sure against most guys he can eat there shots and get his wins. But I honestly dont think he can handle the power of someone like a Conor, Dustin and definitely not Justin. Khabib would maul him too of course. He isnt the next champ..

He will make for a great gatekeeper at the top 5

 

[Kono dio da!]

Gaethje would be a nightmare i think.
Conor... Interesting. Y'all motherfuckers need to chill with the conor power tho. He hits hard but his first punch isn't gonna knock anyone out. Fight starts standing but he can be taken down. Khabib finishes charles tho.
Ps. My use of motherfucker is not an insult. It's a substitute for another word i use irl, which is a term of endearment, but still taboo.

Conor can definitely crack, that left of his is money. He definitely has power when he wants to commit to it. Also Conor has a good TDD and is decent on ground. So doubt hes worried about Charles taking him down.

Worst case scenario Conor would survive a round on ground against Charles easy and then would fight would eventually get back on feet to where Conor can finish it with his Left.

I still want to see the Felder rematch..

He would submit Gaethje so fast. Soo fast.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

He’d smash Justin but get KO’ed by Conor. Dustin could probably handle him too and so would Chandler if he’d actually fight somebody

He’s probably licking his chops seeing gaethjes ground game in his last outing

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Dustin and Khabib are probably his kryptonite. Conor and Gaethje are a serious threat but if he can get it to th ef mat that'll be a wrap

 

[Casanova]

His striking isn’t that good

 

[JayE]

He's a guy who I thought would be washed out by his late 20s because of all the damage he took early in his career.

 

[Terrorist]

He'd take Gaethje down and submit him. Dustin is 50/50. Conor would probably beat him though. His TDD is generally solid.

 

[mjfan23]

Connor kos him at the presser

 

[Franklin U.]

Stop living in 2017. Its 2021 and Charles Oliveria best 155er not named khabib. Hes now filled out and a complete fighter ( for the 166th time ).

MMA fans are just the worst. A sports species phenomenon I've never seen.

No.

Sorry nothing personal, but no!

Charles would throw Conor around like a ginger stepchild and from there it would be game over for Conor (cheating not being overlooked obvs)

There are levels, and as good as you might think Conor's TDD and ground game are it's a huge no against someone like Charles.

He dominated tony but I don’t think he is a top 5 still as other people in top 5 right now beat him.

 

[Deadwing88]

He would submit Gaethje so fast. Soo fast.

And how exactly is he getting Gaethje down..?

The takedowns only opened up for Khabib late in round 1 as Justin couldn't deal with the pressure, winged strikes while backing up and eventually tired.. in the process Khabib absorbed a ton of punishment from leg kicks.

Oliviera simply doesn't have the durability to implement that gameplan imo..

 

[SteveColdStone]

I thought Gaethje would be a nightmare but I think he could take him down and then he’d tap him quickly. He could send Conor and Dustin flying through the air as well.

I think he has the takedowns to get Gaethje on his back and once Gaethje is down he is toast. Won’t know unless we see and this fight is great on paper.

If Charles isn’t next in line for the title it’s the fight to make

 

[joeson]

How many people bashing Olivera predicted Ferguson would run through him?

 

[Mesos]

I dont think Charles has the level of wrestling necessary to fully dominate him. Conors wrestling defense has improved alot. Obviously wasn’t enough for Khabib but its plenty good for everyone else in top 5.

Even if Charles gets him down. Conor has decent enough Jujitsu to defend and hold out for end of round. Eventually in the fight Conor would get a chance to crack Olivera and finish him. I really do question Oliveira physical durability to be taking hard shots. Especially wirh Justin dude hits so damn hard
