Unpopular opinion : Oliveira is a bit arrogant

[Dirty Frank]

He ought to be. He's the champ.
All greats have a certain degree of haughtiness to them, no matter how hard they try to tone it down.
Funny how everyone gets their panties in a twist when it's Khabib showing it, though

It's a mixed bag innit.

GSP and Nate Diaz talk about their self doubt and insecurities sometimes.

Nate was never a champion and 22-13

Im sure everyone has self doubt.

To be an elite athlete and to be the best, you have to supremely confident

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

I don’t know about arrogant but definitely confident and a little bit of a chip on his shoulder.

He grew up poor and had a rough stint in MMA early on. Now that he’s elite, I think he’s a little pissed that people still doubt him. Plus, since he was poor, he does like to flaunt his success a bit with clothes and cars. Is normal.

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.

It will be a quick massacre and The champ will have a name. Charles Oliviera

Good. I don't even remember your opinions.

No, but even if I did, what's your point?

"YOu sAiD [insert fighter name ] WAs gONna wIN BRo.. BuT he LoSt iDiOt!!"

Lol. You can't threathen with some "fresh crow" then cry about eating crow in the past. Not only did you make a shitty pick, but you actually bet on it. Let it go.

 

[modulus]

Referring to yourself in the 3rd person sucks ass - maybe give him a break, lost in translation??

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Nah, I give Charles a 60/40 chance at winning
Not a smart bet

I thought you honestly had charles at 100% and no chance of losing?

 

[richardjohnson]

His arrogance is warrented. Islam is beyond fortunate to be gifted this TS.

Really hoping Charles tko’s him.

To say he was gifted a titleshot would suggest that there are guys who earned one and got passed over.. so who are all these guys that are getting skipped over here?

 

[tasticles]

For Rockhold arrogance has been a negative attribute, but for Charles it seems to enhance who he is

Self confidence is a great thing, where as delusional is always bad.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

I thought you honestly had charles at 100% and no chance of losing?

What the fuck? I'm realistic.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Thats rich. Islam is arrogant just because he is Kabobs lackey. Guy has 10 wins most of which are cans, and two names that are not even in the top 5.

Not surprised this hot take comes from the legendary clownface.

Dariush should be getting the TS.

Islam 100% got gifted the ta
