This the most logical prediction Video yet. Not just everyone picking Charles onIy cause they like him. Y’all can like Charles all you want but Islam is the favorite for a reason.
Makhachev is too damn heavy and strong on the ground, I think he's going to punish Olives with a lot of gnp and ground control, wear him down, take his tank by the 3rd round, fight his grinding style for 5 rounds and win by 50-45, 49-46 scorecards with Sal D'Amato having it 49-46 for Oliveira lol
@@harrycammock6051 name me fighters who fight on their natural weight my friend? if charles isnt weight bullying too how did he missed weight last time then HAHAHA
I think Dominick Cruz had the best insight to offer. If the fight gets on the ground, idk if Islam can finish Charles, but he can sure as hell trap Charles' legs and ride out a decision victory.
Great analysis from many. I have favored for Islam from the very beginning. Islam is like Khabib, same but stronger and more evolved. He will smesh еверубоду.
People don’t realize Makachev and Khabib are the best grapplers in the world. Not just in the UFC. They regularly beat ADCC world champions who are weight classes above them in training. Charles knows this and so do all the Brazilians. It’s a small community and they all talk about the gym stories. No wonder Charles was trying to duck Islam.
Ya but there is a reason why Charles has most submission wins in UFC. I am sure he can defend himself against submission attacks of Islam to some extent and launch his own attacks. When it comes to striking Even Islam will admit that he cannot stand up against Charles. He's just too good there.
@@swelihlengema1799 yah everyone can talk shits before fight. even gaethje told Oliveira a quitter and geathje tap in first round. let's see will Islam backup all these talks when the fight happens
I'll get criticism for saying this but I don't understand why people think this will be close. Yes, Olivera has been completely underestimated, and yes he is an incredible fighter but the second this goes to the ground (and it will) Islam is going to dominate him.
Charles fans were working so hard to prevent this from happening 😂😂😂 no nooo he doesn't deserve the title shot . Nooo please no give it to Nate diaz instead, charles needs a money fight. And Islam needs to fight three or four more fights 😂😂
Why would you root for Manklechub? We'd be losing an exciting champion who has finished all but one of his last 12 opponents, for a champ who dominantly naps on top of opponents and wakes up with a decision win?
2:15 the last guy was Kevin Lee who took down Charles a lot but couldn't do shit. And Kevin is a better wreslter than Felder who is a striker, stop living in the past when no prime Olivera lost some fights against prime fighters, also he was able to survive Chadler's GNP after getting hurt badly on the feet, and no way Islam hits that hard as Chadler.
At this point, Im still not convince Charles or anyone at lightweight and welterweight would outgrapple/wrestle/jiu jitsu Islam Makhachev. Just like Khabib, Islam is born to wrestle. It's part of their being. They would really take it personally if they get taken down (e.g. Khabib vs Trujillo fight) The problem with Charles in this fight is we all have seen him getting dominated/defeated on the ground. While Islam has been almost perfect on the ground in all of his fights. The bigger problem is we can definitely guarantee this fight will be spent mostly on the ground and in most cases top game beats great jiu jitsu.
Belal Muhammad explained perfectly. Charles was dropped in each of his fights. But they refused to go to the ground. On contrary, Islam will work on the ground as well. As GSP once said, "it's all about who turns out the best fighter for the night that gets the win. But sometimes it takes one good shot to end a losing fight."
My prediction on oct 22 Charles will knock out makachev very early since Charles is not afraid of getting taken down so the pressure on the stand up will be too much for makachev( most probably like how he finished his last fight with Justin) . And STILL Charles Olivera.
CHARLIE AINT SCARED YET.. BUT ONCE ISLAM GETS HIS HANDS ON HIM AND TAKES HIM TO THE GROUND AND HE FEELS THE PRESSURE OF ISLAM.. THEN CHARLESS WILL BE AFRAID..
@@boris_js makachev got knocked out cold once by nt even a Superior strikers compared to Charles and u think a fighter like Charles who has finished a lot of the top 5 thru strike will not catch him .

Jst remember one mistake by makachev he is going to sleep ,mark my words !!!
@@oasis6991 8 years ago and still charlie meatriders talk about that 1 punch🤣 What charlie submitted and destroyed 8 times by cans? What about charlie getting knocked down like a bum atleast twice every fight lmao? 🤣 Islam has never even lost a single round entire career apart from that 1 punch. Islam is leauges ahead than Charles
I think these guys need to just agree to a trilogy now. Anything can happen in MMA, but ESPECIALLY this one. It's a coin flip and we would need to see best 2 out of 3 to decide it.
Islam's grappling is multiple levels above Charles. He'll take him down, control him, and then submit him. Conor's fanboys are all on the Charles bandwagon right now, but it'll all be for naught.
cruz does bring up a great point- if the fight is mainly on the ground with makhachev on top, even with charles being super active and threatening off his back, as long as islam also looks relatively active or able to suppress what oliveira does- judges would probably score the round for makhachev because of the value of the takedown and top position then again judges sometimes be sipping the secret juice or have a nap or some shit so idk
@@mindfuljourney291 stfu he fought strikers not grapplers everyone was afraid to go on the ground now we gonna see a fighter who isnt afraid this is a real test dustin justin are good fighter but not complete
Islam Makhachev is very much aware of Charles skills plus he has Khabib who is known for his excellent fighting IQ. I think it will be really difficult for Charles, but Islam won't want to take it to the decision, he'd try hard to submit Charles. While Charles would be so concerned to avoid take downs, it might affect his natural game. Anyway I think Islam Makhachev is gonna win it and after Charles, there is no bigger threat for Islam in LW division. He will have that belt for a long time..
Islam hasnt faced anyone like charles, charles has expressed and convinced everyone that he truly believes hes the champion and the best, thats more scary than anything because his potential is endless at this point
I mean yes everyone loves to see stand n bang but once in a while a technical match up of such high caliber will be on display. Love it!! Very intriguing. Will be a masterclass in grappling on display. It looks 50:50 to me. Maybe 51:49 Islam
mendes and olrivero?? 😂😂😂 **alvarez** statements about desire seemed kind of silly to me. the fire we’ve seen inside **olivera** during his title reign so far has been something to behold, and if you don’t think it matches islams desire to be champ, well i just strongly disagree. charles wanted a big money fight, a red panty night if you will, and who can fault him for that. for everything he has done recently, along with the entirety of his career in the UFC, this man deserves to get paid. wanting to get paid doesn’t equate to being scared of makhachev.
So the greatest submission artist in the history of the promotion is demonstrating an ever-evolving and increasingly lethal stand-up game...so much so that his striking has been the undoing of his recent opponents. And I think he has yet to reach his ceiling as a striker. Yet he seems largely counted out here-- which is highly illogical. He has more ways to win the fight.
Gotta sell that fight. Not to mention the reach advantage and level of competition Charles has faced compared to Islams 2 biggest wins were over pure strikers on short notice.
It's hard to pick a clear winner. As Islam is coached by some of the best in the sport. They're both great grapplers with Charles having a slight edge in the standup and past opponents' skill levels departments.
I think there are more ways for Islam to beat Charles than there is for Charles to beat Islam. Islam has good standup, great grappling, good control on the ground and has a decent submission game and is overall very relentless and is very different to the other opponents Oliveira has faced. Charles however has a knack for coming back from behind quite a lot in recent fights. He can definitely KO Islam or submit him but I just can't see him dominating Islam and pushing the pace on him. I think Charles has 2 rounds to finish Makhachev after that he's done for and if it goes to decision I think Makhachev 50-45's Charles
My heart is with Do Bronx, even if my head recognizes the impressive performances of Makhachev... I sure hope Charles is training with some mad Tasmanian Devil/Honey Badger-like wrestling partners...
islam gonna whoop charlie olive 🫒. i got several bills 💵 on islam. islam’s dagastani wrestling beats the olives 🫒 bjj. y’all betta face the fact : dagastani wrestling is the new bjj. 🤠
Don’t be surprised when islam gets softened and tapped out !!! Charles has a way more crazy list of previous fights ! Wrong favored here guys ‘ Charles will surprise a lot of y’all 🤷♂️
I think Makhachev is going to get this done, only because of the fact that he's being so underestimated by Charles, I don't think Charles is afraid of Makhachev, I think he just believes that makhachev does not deserve the title spot skillwise, but islam on the other hand knows for sure that charles is a beast on the ground. And he'll come fully prepared... i mean makhachev hasn't proven to be in khabibs level yet. But you can tell from his last few fights that he's legit, charles have to come prepared and be super aware of the takedowns if he wants to win this.

Don't bet money, gambling is bad for you
Eddie Alvarez gained a lot of respect from me after his words about the Muslims and khabib’s dad.
most are picking charles cuz they want him to win not cuz they believe he will win
Exactly.. they need to differentiate between their hopes and reality. To them hope and reality are the same 😂
@@sherifnabil9663 well, islam hasn't fought top level competition like charles has. Name someone islam has fought. Bobby green doesnt count
@@hannahcroce4932
Arman tsaryuken is better than any opponent Charles faced.
@@hannahcroce4932 everyone was not on his level,easy fight
Please have my dream come true. Oliveira wins, calls Khabib out to his face. Khabib denies and the whole team walks away in shame
If the decision goes to judges they will definitely give the decision in favour of makhachev.
Why does it always sound like Belal inhaled helium before his interviews?
I can’t wait for Charles to win
@Ruzaini BinYusof he's still waiting
Cruz logic is Just In point. Good that its mma so we have a gr8 fight
Cruz took half of the video with his useless response
I saw someone else say on another video "Cruz is the type of guy to remind the teacher to give the homework out at the end of class" 😂😂
@@dano1307 Cruz is the type of guy to write himself fan letters and post them to himself via mail 🤣
lol
Eddie alvarez was spot on
A lot of people forgets that Khabib will be in the Islam's corner. His Fight IQ will be huge deal for Islam.
Alot of people saying Makhachev has no chance.. very funny. When Makhachev wins dont hide 😅
Eddie Alvarez fucking nailed it. Spot on.
Most unusual will happen and the whole world will be in shock.... Islam will win by TKO 🔥🔥
Don’t be surprised when islam gets softened and tapped out !!! Charles has a way more crazy list of previous fights ! Wrong favored here guys ‘ Charles will surprise a lot of y’all 🤷♂️
I think Makhachev is going to get this done, only because of the fact that he's being so underestimated by Charles, I don't think Charles is afraid of Makhachev, I think he just believes that makhachev does not deserve the title spot skillwise, but islam on the other hand knows for sure that charles is a beast on the ground. And he'll come fully prepared... i mean makhachev hasn't proven to be in khabibs level yet. But you can tell from his last few fights that he's legit, charles have to come prepared and be super aware of the takedowns if he wants to win this.
Let's go Charles !!!!!
Yeah he is gone
@@King_Fi5h lol. do you feel better now? YOu should get a life and enjoy it instead of replying to anonymous comments from a month ago in order to make your life seem better HAHA. PS. Charles will be back. Jesus willing.
