Oliveira going to Abu Dhabi late

[dc007]

I'm a huge Olives fan but didn't he recently say his mistake was getting there late last time? And he wont make that mistake again? SMDH

I mean, a guy that shit on Charles in every opportunity now is "concerned" about his welfare, when he goes to Abu Dhabi etc... You and Khabib should take care of your own lives instead, how about that? You and him don't have anything to do with Charles team decision, you should take care of Islam Makhachev instead.

And I was born in a city next to his, there on summer can go 40º and thermic sensation (hotness, dunno the right word in english) is like almost 50º because of the air humidity. So, I can guarantee you all he is not concerned AT ALL about temperature, once he lives there since always. And jetlag he can do his thing, not ideal but no problem.

His real problems we already know, AbuDhabiWeight scales, corruption for preferred fighters and stuff, so if they don't rob him like against Gaethje in US he will be doing fine as he always does since 2016 (real last time he missed weight, against Lamas).

Charles is happy and doing alright, he is far more concerned about being able to do his thing this time than anything. He doesn't care what randoms like you and Snorlax Pokémon Khabib think, he doesn't have time for bs.

Who said I was concerned about Charles’ welfare? I simply asked whether him not going to Abu Dhabi early was a good tactical move or not, and you got triggered lol. People love to shit on islam fans but I swear Oliveira fans are incapable of having a convo without getting butt hurt and emotional.

Ok, I'll take it easy a little bit. But you don't see any Charles fan (at least the real ones) making threads about Islam training and opinions, because we don't care, he takes care of his own life. That's the difference. And remember: you are the guy who curses everyone that disagrees with your Makhachev narrative, not me or any other Charles fan.

And like I said to @Dana's Moonface , I'll be there Charles winning or losing giving Islam his props if he wins. 0 problem. My problem is about nosey people.

Time difference and jet lag bud, he’s traveling half a world away and then immediately cutting weight.

You think 2 weeks isn't enough time to acclimate to a 7 hour time change and to cut weight?

 

[Adamant__]

He is in good spirits, he knows what he's doing

 

[7 others]

He did say his team and him spotted something from Islam's fight with Alexander

Really wonder how's Charles' prep for this fight

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

He did the same last time, and he looked flat the entire fight. Same mistakes, also I find it unfair he has to keep going to Abu to do this, why not in Brazil, or why not a neutral venue, it should be Brazil really seeing as when Charles was the champ he defended against Islam in Abu.

 

[checktheknuckles]

Hes gonna go in with the same mindset as last time. Try to finish it early.

If the fight goes past the first round, odds will sway heavily towards Makhachev.

 

[Fioretti]

Probably trying to avoid having his food contaminated again.

 

[Johnnny]

I tend to defer to Khabib seeing as he’s both fought and coached in Abu Dhabi numerous times and has an extremely high IQ in all facets of the sport, personally I think his words should be taken very seriously.

All facets of the sport? Khabib pulled out of a lot fights. It got so bad that during the last 7 years of his career, he only managed to make it to the cage 8 times.

When the fight with Tony Ferguson became a reality at UFC 209, Khabib couldn't make weight and took the cowardly way out by not telling anybody in the UFC. Instead, he just no-showed the weigh-ins and scurried off to a random hospital, where the ER doctors determined that there was nothing wrong with Khabib. He was simply dehydrated and wasting their time, so he was discharged after receiving an IV.

Prior to the UFC, Khabib was a welterweight. He struggled to make 155 throughout his career in the UFC. It got to the point where Khabib could only make weight on an Abu Dhabi scale with their generous weigh-in technique.

stubborn guy

Refuses to even watch the first match too

Really? He said he didn't watch their first match? That would indeed be a bit worrisome, IMO

Abu Dhabi is a more lucrative spot for the UFC I would imagine

 

[Reign009]

“That’s something really important when we are talking about Abu Dhabi, where sometimes the humidity can reach 97% and also there is sand in the air. When I left there the temperature was [102 degrees] but feeling like [116 degrees] due to the humidity.”

Just got this from another thread. That's from Renzo Gracie who invited Charles to stay at his apartment along with Paulo Costa.

Yeah, Charles should get there soon. Plus there's the time difference. Just be careful with what he eats.

 

[donkeyjr]

The same guy who was complaining about jetlag in his last fight is repeating the same thing. What a fool!

Thats what Khabib says. But what does he know, right? /s

Too much salt, you should accept the fact that Islam spanked the ass of Oliveira, without corruption, Abu Dhabi weight or any other B.S that you claim... You are making it too personal.

 

[Petarito]

Nobody is denying that he can do what he wants, simply questioning whether that’s the smart move. It makes me question whether he’s truly making every sacrifice possible to get his belt back.

Obviously it is stupid

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Why does he have to fight over there all the time. Seems unfair.

Same reason he had to fight Dariush in Canada (where he was 0-4), had to fight in Gaethje's home town when he was the champ with 1 defense already. Why they took his belt despite the fighter scale being confirmed to be inaccurate etc..

I have to agree! Seems unfair.

But Khabib says....
