Sorry. I don't see it that way, but never know.

Given the current odds according to bestfightodds.com, this, while not more likely to happen than not, is distinctly not a crazy prediction.

Damn, I really thought he was gonna say "I'll beat him by split decision"

 

[Arm Barbarian]

I mean, if his power transfers up to LW, anything is possible. But Charles is a live dawg, with a lot of weapons and range on Ilia.

Should be a wild fight for however long it goes.

Bet +240s for the rest of the year and let us know how that works out for you.

More to the point, I find it extremely disrespectful to Charlie-boy.

 

[Time]

He's actually very bold and willing to take risks, he really puts himself out there. Too bad more fighters weren't like this.

 

[Aurelian]

He predicted knocking out Volk and Max. Hard to doubt his skills and mindset.

 

[Cameron]

I personally predicted second but I don’t doubt that man. The confidence the power and Charles weak chin.

I don’t see how he doesn’t beat him.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

I dont see how he loses to charles honestly. Unless for some reason that 10 pounds is to much which it rarely is. The height and shit doesn't matter he is always going to be short

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Well Chucky also predicted he'd KO Ilia in the first so one of them is lying.

 

[Bradillac]

Ilia by first round KO is probably the most likely outcome, so he’s not really going out on a limb there lol.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

I think both guys are gonna get stung and hurt but Ilia is fresher and he'll prevail in a brutal but short war.

So was GSP. Then Serra happened an he became a 50-45 snooze machine

Wow, hate the guy but this is a really honest take on the situation and he addressed the Islam issue which good. Ugh, Charles better have a plan and I will be really pissed if he taps immediately after being knocked down. He has had many chances and he even lost to Arman even with the illegal head kicks so he is really lucky to be headlining this event as I am sure he is getting paid. I just hope he realizes he could become bigger than he already is if he actually fights, if he is nervous I think he is fucked and will look for an easy out so he can go party. Olivera does not really need this win, its a shame they did not make ilia fight Arnold or even Gamrot/paddy as those guys are trying to make a name for themselves.

TLDR: He is probably right and we will see ilia fight again in the summer of 2026

I think ilia finishes him round 2. What will be interesting is to see who he fights after. Because it sounds like he has a hard on to fight Islam. And also sounds like he probably isn’t too long in the fight game. If he beats olives and then fought Islam and won (I think Islam wins that) then he probably retires.

You think olives is going to hurt lawn the stand up? I hope so but I doubt it. And he would not be wise to stand and trade with him for too long.

I agree and it really makes me upset if the UFC allows this by giving him Islam next. There is so much talent in the division, even Jean would be an interesting fight and IMO Arman would be a massive undertaking if Arman actually still wants to become champ.

TBF: He did say that Paddy would be a big fight so hopefully we this before 2027

 

[Jman]

I will literally jizz in my pantaloons if he KO's Charles in the first round.

Strangulation. Charles will put Top out via a nasty wicked choke.

I doubt that is going to happen
