Would Charles Walk Down Khabib or Islam The Same Way He Has Everyone Else?

[NoSmilez]

Olives will most likely keep the same gameplan. Nothing really changes for him. If anything Khabib need to change their game from a Cain pressure game plan to just a takedown and ground/pound one. There is no point to entertain Olives on the feet and Olives will concede takedowns.
Islam is different from Khabib. He doesn't strike much on the ground but he is way versatile on his feet than Khabib. Islam hasn't shown much firepower standing but he is technical enough. He probably has to work on striking on the ground. It lets him score points while he defends submissions. I don't think Islam will sub Olives easily.

High level sambo players tend to do just fine against BJJ guys.

True, but there are levels to Jiu Jitsu.

I would like to see Khabib in a fight against Jake Shields, Maia, Prime Askren, Palhares etc.

 

[TheRealWill]

Khabib would've mauled him. I have a suspicion Islam will too.

I have a suspicion you're wrong. Hopefully we find out. At least with Islam.

 

[Pechan]

He is a grappler, of course, especially since it would be better for him to get TD in the middle of the cage, the big mistake fighters make againts Khabib and Islam is backing into the cage, they have perfected their TD game and their floor offensive for the cage.

 

[Goosemen]

It's hard to walk someone down when they want to be on the ground with you and can take you down at will.

Yes, there are levels to jujitsu. And that's why Oliveira has been submitted by Jim Miller, Anthony Pettis and Ricardo Lamas, while Khabib has been submitted by no one.
I also can't help but notice that every single grappler you'd want to see Khabib against are in a weight class above his.

 

[Vairloff]

I think it will Play the same as khazmat Burns.
Oliviera grappling could nullyfield their wrestling, but in standup they have no chance.
Oliviera by ko in both fights.

Islam's no Khabib though. But I don't see Oliveira submitting him either.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

See y’all in here w/ the Russian fetish still underestimating Charles. Don’t worry he will sub Islam too

Av bet?

 

[StonedLemur]

The question I wonder is if Charles will not be scared to go on his back against Islam. If not he'll be hyper aggressive like usual.

That's a sweet av sir.
Beautiful picture.

You know who shot that?

 

[Argonaut]

Remember when Dustin Poirier ALMOST subbed Khabib?

Charles will almost subb Khabib 2, 3, 4 times then actually finish him 2 mins into the first round.

There's a reason Khabib and Islam avoid ground fighters as much as possible and mysteriously pull out all the time.

 

[Prex32]

defensiveness wouldnt be smart, thats why guys lose to kebab
keep the chaos approach and go from there
he could catch them with a sub
his boxing also got better and he packs a punch
in the end he has many tools

Khabib would never fight Charles the same way he fought Dustin.

 

[Argonaut]

You're right, he would never fight Charles period

 

[StonedLemur]

You're right, he would never fight Charles period

Well no shit, he's retired.
The hate is astounding on this site.

Oliviera by ko in both fights.

But what if it doesn't nullify the wrestling? That's the question that needs answering.
Because that absolutely can't be discounted

Because it's not a foregone conclusion either for or against, but it does make the fight different than the other ones he's been having.

 

[Argonaut]

Not hate, just proven track record of Islam and Khabib pulling out of more fights than the entire top 15 together

 

[GrantB13]

It would be a good way for Khabib to take him down I'm sure.

I want to see it

I hope Islam is the interesting fight!
