Oliveira is going to get chinned because of his non-existent head-movement.

Chandler power vs versatile Oliviera. Chandler could also get caught if he whiffs on to many haymakers. If it goes distance favor Charles otherwise a toss up.
 
The biggest factor really seems like can Charles get it to the ground?

I think he said that in the context/title picture before he fought Hooker. They are not friends or anything. They will definitaly fight if it makes sense.

I believe it was after the Hooker fight. He doesn't think Chandler deserves to fight him. He thought Chandler's wins outside of the UFC don't count.

Yeah... You said Charles couldn't stand with Tony either, right?

Dubronx is elite on the feet and on the matt

Elite BJJ specialists don't tap to THE Paul Felders or Jim Millers, lol. Oliveira's BJJ is extremely overrated.

But it still in the context of a few months ago. If Chandler wins, I dont see why Dustin wouldnt fight him after he destroys Conman again
 
chandler's at a huge reach disadvantage here tho, expect him to eat some front kicks and knees too.

No?
I guess Rodolfo Viera sucks...
Tapping to a purple belt .

And maybe you should read up on Jim Miller.
Dude is legit on the ground.

This is 2021 and I see Charlo with advantage everywhere. Of course, he can be caught .Chandler has a good team behind him- that much I'll give .Hooker extremely overrated and I see Mike way too overconfident coming into this. Oliveria is the better fighter but we'll see what happens.

I'll be wagering on do bronx ( he has made me plenty coin and I think he attains what he has earned)

Thing about Chandler, is the more confident he is the better. Some guys are just like that. Chandlers issue in the past has been lack of confidence, so as long as he doesn't overdo it, the confidence will help him.

His head always stays in the center line, whether he's throwing punches or not. Look at how many times he got tagged clean by Kevin lee on the feet because of his lack of headmovement. You can't do that against an explosive powerhouse like chandler.

Oliveira also stands very tall and has a very high guard, which makes him very susceptible to body strikes. As shown in his past fights. And chandler is one of the best at attacking body in 155.

Overall this is a very tough matchup for Charles, If he hasn't fixed his glaring holes in his defense then I don't think he can get out of the first round.

i expect the same. Rooting for him, but I think chandler rocks his chin in the first round.

Chandler's head doesn't move either especially after he's gassed. His style takes too much energy

Id be concerned if a jacked, explosive wrestler with big KO power didn't take too much energy. He's the evolved form of Chad Mendes.

Rodolfo tapped to exhaustion more than anything else, watch the fight. Unlike Oliveira, Rodolfo has actually accomplished something in grappling while Oliveira has accomplished absolutely nothing when it comes to grappling credentials both inside and outside the octagon. Oliveira has no real competitive BJJ accomplishments and he has never outgrappled anyone even remotely elite on the ground while getting bludgeoned from his guard and tapped by cans. Who is the best grappler Oliveira has ever outgrappled? Tony Ferguson? The guy who's BJJ is even more overrated than Oliveira's and who was outclassed on the ground by both Castillo and non-exhausted Lee? Or maybe it's Jim Miller - the guy who has no competitive BJJ accomplishments either and was outgrappled multiple times by cans as well?

Oliveira's BJJ is not world class, he has never proven his submission grappling skills against a real world class grappler while Rodolfo has done so many times. Only grapplers I consider elite are the ones who have proven their skills against other elite grapplers, be it inside or outside the octagon, not against literal whos. Oliveira has done neither.
 
Big fan of both, chandler is a mizzou boy so I like him a lot but I’ve watched Charles compete since he was what like 19 in the ufc lol

skill for skill I think do bronx is a terrible matchup for chandler, but that being said I’ve had a feeling that chandler will sleep him just like u said TS... I think it’s going to be quick, and well before any grappling exchanges take place. I hope I’m wrong tho! I wanna see a good fight with some grappling and striking and no early finishes

TL/DR

"Elite BJJ specialists don't tap to THE Paul Felders or Jim Millers,"

Rodolfo still tapped to a purple.
Jim Miller was a black belt (so was Charles) when they fought.

So what ever you feel you need to post to back track. I aint reading it.
