Why is Oliveira getting a pass?

Exciting fighter. But honestly not sure why people are pushing for Islam rematch so soon after he got blown out of the water. He's won one fight since then, looked good but there's plenty others to give a shot to. Maybe if the fight wasn't so one sided, but he needs to beat another grappler first to earn it.

He got absolutely smoked by Islam and Volk would prob defeat him as well

Oliveira fought a total of 3 minutes this year and took no damage, but he's saying Oct is not enough time to fight Islam?

Meanwhile Volk is injured and is getting surgery and he says he's ready to fight Islam in Oct.

Can we stop with the "champ has a name" bullshit now?

I hope it’s Leon at this point, and I think there’s a real chance it is, but I’m thinking it’s more likely Oliveira or Chandler. They may have just paid Chucky a shit load of money to save that card. His excuse for not fighting was BS anyway.

Nice try dude,.... i said MULTIPLE times in the last couple of days that I think it'll still be Oliveira and it was just a play for more money,

So why did you make this thread in the first place then? If you yourself think it was a money play?

"But but... Whyyy is Oliviera getting a passssss? :("

It's a money play that worked dude.

Thats exactly the point genius, Ngannou was absolutely vilified for chasing the bag while people like you rush to defend Oliveira at every turn (even when it's not yet known that negotiating leverage is the issue). My whole thesis is that Oliveira is ALWAYS given the benefit of doubt, very few fighters are. Anybody else that pulled what he just pulled would've been torn to shreds by the fans. Thanks for proving my point!

Couldn't help myself... Imagine, a guy like that whose "thesis" is always talk bs all the time. The irony.

Charles is enlightened, as he always say. Envy is wrong, remember that.

Who exactly have the Dagestanis ducked? And it’s less about them “managing” their careers and more about the UFC recognizing that they have a fanbase and giving them their shots. Zabit retired because he felt the UFC was dickin him around.

Ngannou has and had many supporters here and everywhere for sticking up for himself. I’m happy for him for making his money and standing up to the UFC.

The difference of course is that he left the UFC and hasn’t fought in a year and a half with no future MMA fight in sight. Charles fought last month lol.

olives is the champion we need.

fighting islam in abu dabi twice when supposedly no one would even fight him.

after getting stripped of the title for a half of a pound,

meanwhile islam seems to gets a pass on any sort of weight cutting advantage.


WAR CHARLEY OLIVES !!

exactly... and then the IV nonsense, where ali and the ufc basically

admitted special exemption or whatever you wanna call it,

then promptly swept it under the rug.

now olives has to go to abu dabi again for a shot.

just proves this is an entertainment business and whoever ufc wants as champ will be champ.

lookit fuckin omalley lol

...That lost to Yan, as MMADecisions reminds us lol. I mean, it's a circus and O'Malley represents well the clown, as his hair and antics suggests.

But jokes aside, Charles is an employee, so Abu Dhabi it is. If that's the only way, the most we can do is root hard for him to get the job done. He'll need to overcome all that IV and scale benefits against him, unfortunately. And his own performance and phantoms on utmost importance.
