News Oliveira: I'll knock out Topuria

submission is definitely more likely lol
 
I love Charles and he's among my favorite fighters of all time. But this is not the smartest strategy when he's got a very clear advantage in the grappling. It's playing with fire and if I had to bet on it, I would say Topuira will KO Charles if they're in a fire fight.

I hope Charles just uses his striking to set up the clinch and from there work submissions and TDs against the cage. Once on the ground, it's in Charles world.

What if oliveira and ilia just stopped fighting and sat in the octagon to protest the war
 
Probably what he should say if his plan is to take him down and sub him. Almost 36 year old guys with a ton of mileage who get rocked in most fights aren't really the best candidates for slugfests, but he's a good enough striker and not a good enough wrestler to say in advance "I'm taking you down and there's nothing you can do about it", so just say you're going to KO him, stand and strike a little bit and then get the TD about halfway into the 1st so you have a couple minutes to find a sub.
