Media Makhachaev is still the betting favorite against Oliveira

[Reffson]

Yes he does. Islam is one of the best grapplers in the UFC. He’s the elite of the elite when it comes to grappling.


But he does not want to stand with Charles trading shots and eating huge knees to the stomach for a few rounds. That will not be a good game plan for Islam

The shit Islam does works against lesser grapplers, won't work against Charles.

Anyone would look good or skillful vs Bobby green or Dan hooker

Who has? Poirier's the only other person to finish Bobby Green since like 2009, and in none of his decision losses did his opponent look good or dominant.

Nobody looks good against Arman Tsarukyan either.

Here's a strong argument, while Moises managed to take Islam's back for one second, Oliviera has been submitted 3 times by lesser grapplers than Moises
another strong argument, Oliviera had Chandler's back with both hooks in and couldn't do anything he even lost the position quickly

Islam is -225 rn, not +225

That happened almost 6 years ago in a different weight class when he was training with a different camp.

Since he's been with chute boxe he's undefeated.

Thiago Moises gave Islam his most competitive fight in his last 4.
The last 3 guys he fought had Gaethje level grappling and were short notice.

Islam's best grappling opponent was a 22 year old Arman Tsarukyan on short notice.

Dave Ramos is not the best grappler he's faced by a mile

you just exposed yourself with this one buddy
Davi losing to Jones and Tonon in pure grappling means nothing both of them would sub Charles in under 2 minutes

btw go and watch those matches Davi did great in those

Also Davi is an ADCC champion so he's the best grappler Islam has faced

 

[Reffson]

I will if the fight ever happens. Islam being a favorite against Oliveira is a joke.

I expect the odds to change late. Try to garner the sucker bets.

 

[Ackmed]

these are the odds for who fights him next not for who's the favorite to win

this's the line rn:

Crazy, that's exactly what I predicted yesterday

Sure, from -415 to around -300
