If Dustin catches Charles like Chandler did..

It feels like no one beats is beating Dustin at this point. He’s just gotten better and better.

Logic cannot be retarded by definition and you still cannot name a single good Oliveira win. Don't worry, I know it doesn't exist.

I think people are overrating Dustin a little bit. I think Charles is the best version of himself right now and Dustin is just better than conor. I’m not hating on dustin, I think he’s clearly the #2 guy in the deepest division in the ufc but I think Charles is going to hurt and finish Dustin. I don’t think Dustin really cares all that much about being champ while it means the world to Charles. Just have a gut feeling Olivera puts Dustin away. Could be wrong tho.

honestly it could go either way, I just don’t see Charles winning by ko or tko, and I think if Dustin catches Charles he will put him away.

How is Dustin going to catch anyone like Chandler does?

Punching power is not even comparable.

Don't get me wrong, Dustin is probably a better striker than Chandler, but in terms of catching him with some nasty comparable power? Nope.

Dustin hits pretty hard, his boxing style is boxer-puncher, like Kelly Pavlik. He throws in volume but he also winds up on shots and generates a good amount of power, check out his shots that hurt Gaethje and Hooker, those were fucking hard punches. Who’s to say whether it’s comparable? I just think Dustin can catch Charles and stun him, similar to how Chandler did with his power punches. It’s possible without their power being the same buddeh.

There is nothing to respect. Dustin's win over Gaethje is better than Oliveira's entire career combined... and then we remember that he also didn't get strangled by Quittis.

A white belt with edgy opinions and every fighter is trash except his favorites wow how unique

I forgot how many times Charles has been subbed lol. It’s crazy because his bjj is so good.

He's hyper offensive. Always being on the attack means your defense starts to lax. High risk high reward.
 
Charles will probably knock Dustin out relatively easy standing

But if he doesn't he could just grapple fuck him no problems
 
This is a good match.

Charles Oliveira is a precision down the pipe muay Thai kickboxer. His technique is excellent. His grappling speaks for itself. He's got the record of submissions to speak to that.

However, Poirier knows how to make a brutal fight if he can establish his striking. His grappling is on a lower level than Charles.

Hard to pick the winner on this match. I'm going with Oliveira by submission. He's a crafty bastard. I also would not mind seeing Poirier win though
 
Chandler took the risk of trying to finish Olives on the ground and Olives was able to fend him off real well. I think Poirier would keep it standing.
 
would be an exciting fight, I'd root for Dustin but wouldn't mind if Olives win.
anything but another McGregor fight..

In theory Dustin should have the better boxing, not just punches, footwork and head movement, Dustin’s overall boxing is very slick, and he has power in both hands. Muay thai teaches movement in a straight line, without emphasis on head movement.

Dustin will systematically pick him apart and destroy him, tko most likely. Dustin has so much experience in the UFC and is so calm under pressure, that and his confidence is at an ath after beating Conor 2x, he was already a technician but now he has a lot of momentum behind him and is at a good stage in his career. Dustin is the uncrowned champ imo.

Dustin doesn't hit as hard as Chandler. Not saying he has pillow fists or anything, but Chandler could very well be the hardest hitting 155er active right now. Dustin decisioned hooker while Chandler slept him almost instantly.

Oliveira is a paper champ who rode into the top ranked position on the corpses of Lee and Tony and won the belt off a Bellator washout with 1 UFC win who was chased out of his B-league by a FW midget. He doesn't have a single good win on his resume and was finished multiple times by cans. Dusthammad the Generous is going to punch a hole in his fucking chest.

Jesus. Nice to meet you Dustin, lmao. Oliviera earned his spot for sure. Hooker, who Dustin struggled with, was flattened by Chandler inside 2 minutes, and Oliviera beat him despite getting caught hard at one point. MMAth, I know, but it's ridiculous to claim that Oli doesn't deserve the belt. And literally everybody knew Chandler was one of the best fighters outside the UFC when he was signed, and had been for some time.
 
Chandler hits harder than DP.
 
Seriously, Dustin fought Connor McGregor.
Do Bronx just won the world title, Connor is pretty much the CM punk of MMA at this point.

If Dustin Poirier retired today do you think he's worthy of the HOF?
