Would current max beat current Oliveira?

[Kono dio da!]

Max is the better striker.
Max beat him by tko because of an injury
Charles schools max on the ground.
Max has great defensive wrestling
Charles mixes his wrestling and grappling better than anyone max has fought
We all picked khabib to beat max when they nearly fought at 223.
Y'all seriously think Charles cannot hold max down? Charles and khabib are different, I acknowledge that but they present similar threats minus the ground and pound.

Max is very very hard to take down and hold down . I don t think Olives is strong enough.

I think he s one of the best LWs , but I don't really fancy his chances vs Holloway

 

[TJ Dillashank]

Max is used to fighting small guys against a strong big Olivera he gets melted and stopped

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Max definitely could. Oliveria may actually be the favorite in that fight which is understandable

 

[asdf122345]

At 145 yes. At 155 it would be very close.

 

[jsbx45]

Olivera takes it this time IMO.

 

[jk7707]

I think at 145 Holloway still wins. His style doesn't seem to translate as well up at 155. Charles still thinks he could cut down to 145 but I highly doubt it would lead to success against Holloway.

Charles doesn’t need the traditional single or double legs to get Max down. He doesn’t even need to take Max down before he begins choking Max. Just ask Porier.

 

[MoneyMcGrabber]

Oliveira takes it this time.
Max ain’t the power puncher to take him out, so that’s plenty of time for Charles to snatch a sub.

 

[DaRivv20]

I think Charlie has a good chance of beating Max at 155.

 

[wildchild88]

Olives withstands Max on the feet and finds a way to grapple.. (he doesn't need to take him down to catch him)

Feels like Oliveira has mastered jiujitsu and has leveled up on his triple A standard of Mma focused jiujitsu.. submits Max in the 3rd or 4th..

Poirier Make Max looks like a amateur soo Oliveira 5.0 Kill him.

Oliviera is not the Oliviera ya'll used to know. He's a special beast and he would beat Max imo

 

[MCS]

5-round high-paced dogfight. Charlie goes forward, Max meets him in the middle, circle circle and throwdown again. With some grappling mixed in. Oliveira is such a good grappler I give him the edge. Max is the better striker I'd say, but at 155 I'm not sure. Bronx now has good strength at 155.

Chuck chokes him stiff.

I'd be pulling for Max. "Do Bronx" is an annoying nickname. Plus Max speaks English.

There is only one Chuck and it sure as hell isn't Charles.

Still can’t get over how thin Max was at 155. Poirier’s power clearly affected Charles last week but he handled it well. Max survived but he was getting clocked all over the octagon. I think Chuck will walk Max down and land a lot of those kicks. Clinch will be a nightmare for Max too, even if he doesn’t get a sub.

 

[TerraRayzing]

Correct me if I'm wrong but Max was able to get up from under Ortega, right?

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

The way you word it "Max beat him" makes it sound like it was a fight lol. Max vs Charles was no fight, it was a freak neck/shoulder injury right at the start of the fight, nothing happened at all.
