Unpopular opinion : Oliveira is a bit arrogant

Charles is very arrogant.
I started to dislike him after his missed weight.
He accused the organisation of setting him up to miss weight.
He also accused Abu Dhabi of fixing the win of Tagir Ulanbekov against his teammate to try to avoid fight Mackachev.
That show to me that he will go very low when he is under stress.
He will accuse people without any evidence to avoid fights. That’s very low.

I mean he's made it a consistent thing to refer to himself in 3rd person. It's just weird now.

Also, he just called himself "enlightened" in an interview after his open workout. Lmfaoo. .

Charles is drinking his own kool aid a bit too much lately...
Fighting with reckless abandon, like he is invincible, when he almost died in every title fight.

We know how these things end and how the lesson gets learned.

maybe cause you dont how very poor people from religious places in Brazil think. After all his life struggles, hes at a place no one would even imagine him to be, maybe not even himself. So yeah hes pretty confident at this point. Will he lose at some point? for sure. Not to Islam IMHO. I expect Charles to hurt him on the stand up and either get a TKO or a sub. If not a knee to the face in as Aldo x
 
No different than Islam or Khabib. They're confident. Who cares
 
My opinion, just about anyone champ-level is going to have some arrogance issues.

He is an amazing fighter, and he is a champion. But I agree he is, CLEARLY, less and less humble.

I like Charles a lot but he's a shown different side of his during this camp. A more arrogant one, as TS put it. He's been doing all the trash talk, whereas Islam has been nothing but respectful.

Truthfully, I don't have a problem with Charles talking trash. He's earned the right to do so as a champ but I wonder if him being arrogant means whether he's super confident he'll get the job done against Islam on Saturday OR whether it means he's nervous...

Guess we'll find out.

You have a good point.
I also noticed Charles seem mad that Islam got a TS after beating nobodies (or at least, not the caliber of opponents Charles beat himself)

Him saying that doesn't have anything to do with arrogance. He is a believer as much as Islam, what changes is only their religion (I mean, maybe Islam is levels above lol, but ok). He doesn't say that to sound arrogant at all, but he believes God bless him to make him a good fighter and champ, that God helps him when he needs.

You need a huge strength to think like that. At the same time, Islam team since the beginning talked shit for free about Charles and you say nothing. I mean, you are just pushing it too much, not to say extremely exaggerated.

Nothing too out of line but you re right
Except maybe Javier all the chin beard team has been very vocally dissmissive towards the champ.
 
You could easily say the same about his opponent.

He probably also realizes trash talk sells more fights. He’s an exciting fighter but people would rather tune into a boring trash talk we vs an exiting quiet guy.

realize you gotta Speak up if you want to be more valuable to the UFC

He has this Silva-like arrogance about him. Even his "sportsmanlike" behavior seems arrogant when looked at closely. Like when he went over to Gaethje's corner to shake their hands but kinda disregards Gaethje himself. It reminds me of when Silva would approach an opponent as though for a handshake and bow instead.
