Rumored UFC wants to make Charles Oliveira vs Mateusz Gamrot; dispute over whether it should be 3 or 5 round fight

[Doctor Grudge]

I dunno, Olivera clearly has problems with guys that take him down that are hard to submit or don't gas. Asking for a 3 round main event if they are the top fight shows he's not too confident that it will be an easy match. We'll see. I favor Olivera over most if their main base isn't wrestling.

When you say clearly has problems, you're basically just talking about Islam and Arman, right?

He's beaten at least 6 well known fighters who's base is wrestling, probably more.

Gamrot's ground game really is not that great.

Yeah you got me, Charles clearly got the round there by holding Arman down for 30 seconds and wagging his tongue out for a cheering crowd. Totally undid everything Arman did the rest of the round.

You continue to prove that reading is difficult for you.

By base I mean someone who typically uses wrestling to win. Felder was able to control Olivera too and he's not really a huge D1 wrestler type. Do you think he doesn't have troubles with wrestlers he can't sub?

For high level fighters, 3 rounds isn't always enough to decisively show who's better. We just saw this in Tsarukyan vs Oliveira, it's totally possible that an amazing sub or knockout might've happened in the championship rounds, but we just didn't get to see them because they booked the fight as a 3-rounder

That’s fair. I think Strickland/costa soured me on 5 rounders lol
