I have re-watched this fight an unhealthy amount of times but oliveira's fights in general are so re-watchable definitely the most exciting champ in the UFC
he is the most exciting yet the worst treated champion, hope UFC give him a fight in Brazil if he beats Islam, the guy has been finalizing fights against killers.
He didn’t check a single kick lmao you need to learn the names of techniques he does a Teep it’s where you lift your left leg up over a kick instead of checking it
@@Kangaroofilethe definitely checked more than one kick this fight, but these are Justin Gaethje kicks so they’re pretty hard to check since he’s so good at low kicks. He also does land a check in this clip if you rewatch it, maybe you missed it!
I heard a good theory on why Oliveira can use a muay Thai stance in mma and it still be affective. He knows its prone for single and double leg takedowns but his guard and submission game is that good people can't utilise it
@@ragerenegade I don't see either man changing there style, both have been pretty dominant with them in different ways, I think Oliveira welcomes the takedown and Islam welcomes the submission attempts. Really excited to see who's right
@@Rozza2k huh, i don't know, i think charles will be reluctant, he is great off his back but that wrestling is just so advantageous, he was able to handle Chandler though so there is that
@@ragerenegade yeah Islam's wrestling will definitely be the deciding factor of the fight. If he utilises his game plan as well as he has lately then bjj won't really come into play but Charles is so elite I don't see it happening
exactly, secretly he wants strikers to go for a takedown, wrestlers, hes a lil differen cause chandlier is a wrestleer an so is gaeje but he knew they like to bang so annoyed them, this is the thing about charles, hes learned from his mistakes, so many champions who aree low on Ls take it hard when they finally lose
Charles' muay thai is excellent, but his bjj really helps with his whole style. It allows him to recover when dropped, and discourages people from taking him down, which allows him to keep using the stance. I wonder what an Oliveira with good vision would look like.
Douable when you fight fighters who excells in standing and exchanging, that are scared to follow you on the ground... Makachev will follow him on the mat and his ground fight as well as his grappling is not second to him. I just hope will see a greta match.
What's not to love about Charles as a fighter? Gets into wild grappling exchanges with great grapplers and is equally willing to stand toe to toe and brawl with the heaviest of hitters. Most exciting fighter in ufc history.
Being in Phoenix for this was hilarious. Everybody booing Carla and Rose for 25 minutes and then this happens. My friend who doesn’t watch mma came and I told him there’s no fucking chance the main event disappoints, and we all lost our minds during the fight
The main event surely saved the day My only complaints about the Oliveira v Gaethje fight was.......that it wasn't long enough lol. Only 3:14.....but action packed!
I wasn't happy that Gaethje fought in AZ. To many distractions being in his home state and family ,friends, cousins all over the place. 0-3 fighting here. The crowd amps him up too much then forgets the game plan wanting to try and please the crowd swinging and gassing. He needs to be the Gaethje that fought Tony. But he won't get another shot again. He's going to retire soon.
@@monkeyslap7772 Charles was not going to let Gaethje fight the kind of measured type of fight he had vs Tony (that fight broke my heart as a El Cucuy fan 😪). His only hope to have beaten Charles was a one shot KO like Vick and Barboza. Charles took away his calf kicks and had more weapons standing. And I think Charles surprised him by standing toe to toe in the pocket and trading from the start instead of using a grappling heavy approach fixated on takedowns like he thought would happen.
Charles is legitimately the most calculated, clinical champ in the UFC in the way he throws his strikes/combos. Each movement looks ripped straight from a muay thai/kickboxing/boxing textbook, and I cannot get enough of it.
There was a time when Gaethje looked unstoppable in the division. Oliveira made this fight look easy. It was a prime example of a good fight camp in action. Gaethje's leg kicks are like a fundamental part of his gameplan. But Oliveira was so well prepared and able to dodge them in a way that perfectly set him up for a counter, Gaethje's leg kicks turned into a liability. The more he threw them, the more damage he would take. And without leg kicks, Gaethje is mostly a wreckless brawler that Oliveira could pick apart in the first round. It was amazing to watch.
Because of this guy i’ll start doing Muay Thai in autumn. i was choosing between boxing, kickboxing and etc. So after his comeback vs Chandler and last two fights against Dustin and Justin. he showed his Muay Thai skills that made me to be in love, motivated and inspired to do Muay Thai
i feel like his punches are more about good boxing than muaythai.. no one drops people like that in 155 in rounds 1 or 2 talking about top 10 obviously
@@elyas4637 yea boxers spar fucking hard ive been to 2 different gyms so far outside of my reg muay thai classes and holy shit event he beginners after class i got headaches man, the worst in muay thai i ever got was a fucked up leg from not checking a 260 pound guys kick
I love how he used the clinch to aim and line up that stiff jab to put Justin away. I'll never sleep on Charles ever again and he deserves to wear that belt again.
I don’t know about the best but definitely a notable example since he’s champ. It’s hard to use specific styles to describe fighters in MMA because they’re more on a continuum and blend into other styles considering all the elements of the sport. He makes good use of the weight on the back foot, checks, clinch etc for sure.
I think Charles is one of the most complete fighters to fight in the ufc currently. If not the most complete. The way he mixes his knees, long stabbing teep kicks, elbows, strong right and left jab and hook, a wizard on the ground. So many weapons he can use in a fight. perfect fighter to base your game off. He is also extremely longer then people anticipate. Though Islam is a real test.
@DARK HOUND I just stated my opinion is all. Your the one all worked up about it. Usman doesn't even mix teep kicks. Again with volk he mixes it differently. Doesn't use teeps. He's not long like Oliveira. Stipe Miocic got KOed last year in 6 minutes from Francis. his time has come unfortunately. I don't see him beating top contenders anymore. Jon Jones hasn't fought in two years and arguably lost to Dominik Reyes. Anyone else? Oh and gsp retired millennials ago.
@DARK HOUND I'm not saying olivera is pound for pound number one. I'm saying he is probably the most complete fighter active as of right now in the ufc
@Dylan Ray Scott Got Charles again. Think Everyone is blowing Islam skills out the water without seeing him against the highest level of competition. His wins aren’t impressive
Charle's BJJ allows him to take a very Muay Thai style approach to standup, and it works really fucking well. Literally nobody wants to be on the ground with him, aside from possibly Makachev but if Makachev loses, it'll be because he fucked up on the ground. I like Gaethje, but there was no way he was winning this, and the "hes a quitter" shit was cringe, especially after he tapped LMAO. Just a bad matchup for him, Charle's striking has gotten very clean, and Gaethje swings for the fences 24/7 like a raging idiot and then throws leg kicks which were all checked.
Makachev will go to the ground 100% vs Charles. Charles had tapped out 8 times in ufc and Islam was knocked out one time. So islam would go the ground 100% and finish him there.
@@aldomauricioable Yeah, but the Charles who tapped 8 times, is clearly not the same person as the current Charles. People keep discounting him every single fight, based off of past performances, when he just went on a tear through arguably the most elite division in the sport and made it look simple. I know Makachev will 100% go to ground, and he'll either win or lose there. Charles is the nastiest BJJ practitioner the UFC has seen, if someone can submit Makachev, its him.
@@aldomauricioable sonnen put a beating on silva for 4 rounds then got subbed last minute. That’s all it takes, one opening for Oliveira and he takes it. Best submission artist we’ve ever seen….. islam isn’t fighting a bum this time too.
His fighting style is just so satisfying to watch, because you think about the loses he had before and you look at him now and you’re just like “man how did he get so precise with his striking”
Thai Boxing & BJJ has done wonders for many all time greats from Brazil. I called this years ago with him. He had the jits, now he has some of the most underrated Thai Boxing in the organization.
The Muay Thai stance Olivera usually fights in gives him the option of lifting the front leg to get a clean miss on leg kicks rather than absorb with a check. Pays dividends against Gaethje’s style.
Charles is such a offensive juggernaut he had a strikes or motion to use in every millisecond of the fight like something as simple is a quick snap down into a knee to the body mid exchange. It took me a while but I’ve really became a fan and want to model my game around his!
Charles muy Thai was the most effective against Gaejthe than anyones ever given to him, the checks completely neutralized his leg kicks causing him to wind up trying to land a big shot and lead to Charles finding his finish
It's like Russian style Muay Thai to me, a focus on Clinching and Knees, with front kick and straight punches.. low kicks with lead hooks in to Clinching..
DC - “oh my goodness Justin landed some BIG leg kicks to start” Justin - literally throws a calf kick at 50% power then gets rocked with a right hand from Charles and is clearly hurt, you can see he’s not steady on his feet.
It works so well because he is so good on the ground.Nobody wants to take him down.If your jiujitsu and grappling are not high level muay thai stance can be very dangerous in mma because it makes you prone to takedowns.For charles it doesn t matter.I feel like his skillset is one of the best ever allaround. They merged into one.The only thing missing is a bit tighter defence and headmovement
Bruh, I was just talking about how he steps forward over low kicks instead of directly checking them and goes right into strikes. I just saw another fighter doing that in the last UFC, if guys start catching on to this, the game will evolve yet again.
Chute boxing finest...i think Brazil does not get enough credit for evolving some of the finest strikers martial arts in general have seen. They produced some of the greatest Kyokushin, kickboxing champions...Oliveira's chute/muay thai boxing is technicaly really clean and provides him with several ways to pressure his opponent. I was amazed how he used the thai clinch to neutralize the boxer in Dustin Poirier. His blend and transition from striking to grappling is the best the sport of MMA has seen so far. In my oppinion this is where he outshines Khabib, based on the range of attacks he uses. If he becomes more stellar at anticipating punches (he gets hit himself a lot, could be an issue with his eyes though, I think he talked about it himself) he will be become an icon of modern mixed martial arts and how to incorporate all eight limbs into your standing attack while being able to transfer into grappling and submissions effortlessly.
Super effective style of striking when literally no one wants to try and take you down. If his bjj wasn’t so great people could shoot doubles and singles all day. Great fighter but Islam might be the key. Can’t wait.
Always keep your hands up when leaving the pocket classic mistake. Its how Gaethje KOed Barboza thought they were out of danger dropped their hands and paid the price.
Worked because Justin wants nothing to do with Oliveira on the ground due to how lethal his BJJ is. I don’t know if he can keep this stance against islams since it provides easier openings to takedowns. Will be interesting to see what happens on the ground since both fighters are so dangerous on the mat
Yea but he likes the ground work too best jiu jitsu in mma vs best style of wrestling, man its exciting to think about, on paper it should cancel out like kamaru usman vs gilbert, and if thats the case I feel like Olivera should win since I do believe he has better striking but man who knows
Normally this stance can be countered by good wrestlers especially with singles. The problem with Oliveira is his BJJ, people are afraid of his submissions and they should be.
Its more kickboxing with a taller stance. If you have watched thais in Lumpinee and Radjamanern, night and day difference. Very impressive performance though.
@soundbro Charles doesn't mind the catch cause if he gets taken down he can pull guard which is his favorite place to be. The roundhouse would be good to add to his arsenal because it would hurt the opponents body
He's not afraid of being took down and people are afraid of his submissions and ground game so he can do more traditional boxing and muay Thai stances and they work because people are essentially forced to stand with him
Everytime your opponent throws a leg kick, you turn your shin out and you move forward with punches. Everyone that fought Gaethje before took too long to rest. The punches land while Gaethje is trying to get his footing back under him and it makes him almost stuck
Is Charles Oliveira the fighter who’s using muay thai most effectively in the UFC?
Yes
For sure, his BJJ allows him to do Muay Thai without worrying about the takedown that Muay Thai is susceptible to.
Aldo is very nice aswell
Anderson Silva!
The question was present tense-“using MT in the UFC” Silva is now boxing and is no longer in the UFC.
I have re-watched this fight an unhealthy amount of times but oliveira's fights in general are so re-watchable definitely the most exciting champ in the UFC
Same bro I was just thinking the same thing! It’s like instead of memorizing a song it a fight instead lol
I think Jiri holds the title of “most exciting”, but Charles is my favourite without a doubt
I just love getting on my knees and just looking up at my man Oli’s mean brutal eyes that make me wanna cry 😭❤️❤️❤️ that’s how you all sound geez
he is the most exciting yet the worst treated champion, hope UFC give him a fight in Brazil if he beats Islam, the guy has been finalizing fights against killers.

Yeah, I was used to seeing Gaethje's comfortably kicking people in the legs. Then this fight it kept costing him. Interesting change.

That’s why I have confident in him to win over khabib’s man.
Good video
funny how all the clips are Charles smashing Justin but DC be like “jUsTiN iS sO gOoD”...
He knows Geathje isn’t going to take him down
This was noticed but I paid no mind to it? Good content
When asked what to do to stop leg kicks, justin said make them pay for throwing it.. that is exactly what Chucky did
Worked because Justin wants nothing to do with Oliveira on the ground due to how lethal his BJJ is.
I don’t know if he can keep this stance against islams since it provides easier openings to takedowns. Will be interesting to see what happens on the ground since both fighters are so dangerous on the mat
Yea but he likes the ground work too best jiu jitsu in mma vs best style of wrestling, man its exciting to think about, on paper it should cancel out like kamaru usman vs gilbert, and if thats the case I feel like Olivera should win since I do believe he has better striking but man who knows
I’ve been going back and forth on that one, but Islam’s wrestling just seems insurmountable right now. Should be good nonetheless
@@kradoste6268 Islam is too strong for Olivera BJJ
@@EnKayAitch Oliveiras MMA is too strong for Islam.
Charles Oliveira is the type of guy......
Average muay thai enjoyer 👌
Normally this stance can be countered by good wrestlers especially with singles. The problem with Oliveira is his BJJ, people are afraid of his submissions and they should be.
He throws those clinch knees sneakily fast.
He squeezed the life out of him.

Nice channel name
I was worried for Charles against Justins boxing in exchanges but he always had the perfect style to negate everything else
😇😇😘
Its more kickboxing with a taller stance. If you have watched thais in Lumpinee and Radjamanern, night and day difference. Very impressive performance though.
Khabib ate like 20 kicks from Justin , Charles checked em all js 😏
Charles got dropped twice in a minute
Jiri has no gas tank. He nearly lost to that old man
Charles should use body kicks as well because if his leg gets caught he can go to guard
@soundbro Charles doesn't mind the catch cause if he gets taken down he can pull guard which is his favorite place to be. The roundhouse would be good to add to his arsenal because it would hurt the opponents body
Well it’s not like being taken down is a threat too him
He's not afraid of being took down and people are afraid of his submissions and ground game so he can do more traditional boxing and muay Thai stances and they work because people are essentially forced to stand with him
Islam is gonna make Charles look easy.
Superbon vs Gaethje 🤯
Everytime your opponent throws a leg kick, you turn your shin out and you move forward with punches. Everyone that fought Gaethje before took too long to rest. The punches land while Gaethje is trying to get his footing back under him and it makes him almost stuck
He makes it work because who’s gonna want to take him down!
Bangkok ready oliveira
Can't believe this all happened in 3 minutes
Helps when you have Oliveras BJJ
I'm surprised that Whitman didn't think it was a good idea to get Gaethje to set up his kicks behind his punches. That's striking 101
Wow never caught that before they really plotted on Olivera announcer saying soon to be former champ that’s crazy.
OMG he lifted his heel to avoid a leg kick WOW… why isn’t this a common practice. Aldo and Oliveira obviously knows
