@@briancarolina3081 i doubt it tbh. Islam is so defensively cautious, since the KO hes very careful on his entries. Charles best chance is probably a sub off the takedown attempt. Once it hits the ground Islam will stall the position in half guard and use top pressure and ground and pound to drain the gas tank. Charles is untested in the championship rounds, if Islam takes it deep i can see the power threat on the feet being massively reduced. I hate predicting boring fights but this could end up being a boring 45-50 x3 wrestling decision for Islam. Considering the style of the fighters i cant see the refs being particularly eager to stand them up either.

Charles is more experienced as a UFC fighter and has a better resume. But if Islam beats him Khabib should be recognized as the best LW of all time. If not , Charles is the LW goat !!!
I had always believed that Islam Makhachev is the greatest lightweight in the UFC because "Khabib had said it" and now I believe that Islam is the number 1 best pound for pound fighter in the UFC because "Khabib has said so". These European and American passive aggressive haters can't do anything other than witnessing the greatness of Dagestani fighters. These haters say Islam & Khabib boring because they make them look wrong in the end about everything what they said earlier. They make these fighters look as easy fights. These passive aggressive haters feel depressed, defeated, disturbed, infuriated and hopeless after watching every fight of Islam & Khabib. They hate to give credit to these guys what they deserve from the beginning and it will be like that even after this but it doesn't matter at all.
If Beneil is leaning toward Islam Makhachev even with the slightest distance, then we have to stick with makhachev against Olivera, cuz Beneil is the one who can seemingly beat or atleast give him the toughest fight of all.
Islam makhachev all the way. Olives has got only a puncher's chance. Islam would never tap in any of the circumstance. Olives is gonna get beaten to the pulp on the ground.
Can we stop with this charles victim mentality. In every comment section all the fans are picking him. Many fighters are as well. Reminds me of khabib and Conor in 2018.
Exactly, go to any comment section of a vid about Charles vs Islam and you’ll find 90% of the comments in favor of Charles despite the fact that Khabib and Islam are so popular and fan favourite. Please stop with this narrative that people are disrespecting Oliviera. Even fellow fighters are picking Oliviera to win
LMAO when Beneil asked if Islam could take Oliveira down. That's the easy part cause the guy easily falls on the floor every time. Islam will Smesh the crap out of Oliveira in the first round and make it look like he didn't even try. Easy win for the upcoming light weight champion
@@tistakere5055 still not his fault that everybody in top 8 was ducking him, so he didnt have the chance to beat any high level opponent, but you'll see what happens when he fights Oliveira you are gonna realise how good he is.

Poor innocent olivera🤭😂. I mean you can't get this emotional if you're a fighter, especially a championship mentality is not like that. I think makhachev's and khabib's confidence is so much that olivera is treating it like arrogance 🤦🏻 i think olivera's gonna lose this fight so bad bcoz Teamkhabib already inside his head, olivera is responding to everything, and khabib's entire team is laughing after seeing this coz they really wanted it😂 , they are chilling, training hard💯 , enjoying and confident and are always respectful and humble🤷🏻♂️

Oliveira CAN'T: - outstrike Islam (because he is defensive) - outwrestle Islam (because he is dagestani) - out-submit Islam (because he trains with adcc champs) - out-kick Islam (because it is not oliveiras strenght) whats left? ps. i am an oliveira fan, but lets be real here.
Oliveira will approach the fight with caution, he can't do them body kicks on Makhachev like he did his previous opponents as it would lead to him getting caught and get swept to the ground. He would also find Makhachev very difficult to engage in a brawl with on the stand up as Makhachev has a very defensive style. Makhachev's plan would be the usual, clinch with Oliveira near the fence, fatigue him until the later rounds and win by either unanimous decision or TKO while Oliveira's plan would be to quickly penetrate through his defense, knock him down and submit him early.
Stop overestimating Charles size. Gilbert is as tall as Oliviera, and his neck is the size of Oliviera´s thigh. Gilbert is a former 155er, so Gilbert is just lying about the size factor. Islam is as tall, and he looks about 18 pounds heavier than Olives in the ring.
@@omarmosaad9878 183 isn´t the biggest. Dustin walked around at 190 when he was 145. Chandler is probably at 190-195 rn. Islam is huge. He´s probably also anove 190.

@@Noel_Eriksson charles looks small????? Charles' coach said charles was cutting from 185 before he was 183 inside the octagon do you think they're lying?
Charles has the big fights experience. Islam in aka beats everyone let's see if he can do it with millions watching and the pressure of the entire Muslim world on his shoulders
Islam has the advantage because a fighter can win an MMA fight by simply (1) pinning his opponent against the cage without any damage and (2) laying on top of the opponent without doing any damage.
Ok here's my prediction Charles will get submitted by Islam This is how the fight will go On stand-up Charles will try to hit Islam with hook, that's the main weapon that has beaten Gaethje and Chandler, the other punches will not be as lethal. Islam will not get hurt by the hooks, he will block them, or evade them, this is the only real way Charles could win against Islam. If he cannot KO Islam via Hooks, nothing will work against Islam. Charles knees, kicks will not faze Islam, they are not lethal to Islam. Why I say these? Simple, Islam's striking defense is on another level, Islam's face has been clean since a long time, it's just like Khabib's. People will bring his loss against Adriano, it won't repeat like that, Islam does not have rushing habit like that anymore, it's an old story, just like Oliveira is a different fighter today, Islam is also a different fighter nowadays. Islam only strikes when it's safe, a very cautious counter puncher. His defense is different than Khabib's which has more head movement, more hand blocks, more straightforward pressure but results the same, clean face. No one does that in the entire UFC besides Khabib, Islam, Umar Nurmagomedov. Clean face with world class fighters cannot be done, unless you have the same styles like they are. Charles will see his own blood, Islam will not see his own blood. ---------------- On the ground This will be the highlight, both fighters are known for their superior ground game. Islam is never get submitted on the official matches in his entire PRO career, it speaks for his submission defense. Charles is the UFC holder for the most submission wins, it speaks for his submission offense. Islam will takedown Charles, it's guaranteed. People will say Charles will hurt Islam on the stand-up just based Adriano Islam old fight, it will not happen, I have explain it at the beginning. Islam is gonna control Charles on the ground, there are only 2 plays or 2 scenario. First, Islam will try to prolong the game, make Charles tired with his ground game, or ground and pound, it could get into 3 rounds, then Charles get submitted via rear naked choke or something similar. Second, Islam will try to make the game shorter, just like what he did to Dan Hooker, it's gonna be very short fight, first round finish, and everyone will be very surprised. Islam is different from Khabib, Khabib does not like short fight, he likes to maul people, he wants to show his domination by ground and pound, or even striking offense like what he did into high class strikers such as Michael johnson and Barboza where he keeps moving forward or even Conor, where he stand up for almost a full round at round 3, although he lost the round, but you can see he's not afraid against the best striker in the UFC, no matter who. Islam will not charge to enemy like Khabib, but his takedown, even more dangerous than Khabib's, he will not use the fence as often as or like Khabib, he will takedown the enemy anywhere he wants, smoother takedown than Khabib, more technical than Khabib. In this case, I think Islam will do kimura to Charles or triangle choke. -------------- People will keep saying these stuffs, Islam never fights top opponent or Islam does not deserve the title fight, Dan Hooker was a top opponent even though he is outside top 10 right now, we all know who Dan hooker is, and then people will say Dan Hooker got short notice to the fight, and only had short camp not full camp. Do you really think Dan Hooker can stop Islam's takedown if he had a full camp training? Come on, no one submits Dan Hooker the way Islam did, Islam did it in a flash. Arman Tsarukyan was not in top 10 when he fought Islam, but now he's number 10, the grappling fight between them was amazing, and Islam dominated the fight. Rafael Fiziev who just beat RDA by KO, speaks highly about Islam everytime he is asked about Islam, and he ranks number 7 right now. Paul Felder admitted he was afraid to fight Islam, you know Paul Felder was a top fighter on the lightweight division right Islam is main Khabib's sparring partner, Khabib has vouched how good Islam is, he thinks Islam is an elite fighter, isn't it enough? the only fighter who cannot be touched in the most stacked divison in UFC says so. Islam could fight RDA, Beneil Dariush or other top fighters if they were not injured before the fights or rejected the fights, it's not Islam's fault. If Islam really undeserved to get a title fight, when he wins against Charles in a dominant fashion, what will you say? After that win, if you think Ferguson, Gaethje, Dustin, Chandler can give a threat to Islam, you are just bias against Islam.
The question is, can Islam's chin hold up, because he is going to get hit several times very hard before the take down. Then on the ground how well is Oliveira able to deal with Islam, Oliveira is a big 155er don't forget, and he has 4" reach advantage.
I think Oliveira will submit him. I don't see this being a knockout because Islam is not an aggressive striker like the others Oliveira has faced. Islam will be aggressive with the wrestling though, and will at some point give Oliveira the submission. Unless in some alternate universe, Islam's chain wrestling is so overwhelming for Oliveira to use his Ju-jitsu to match, which I don't see happening.
Can’t lie Jens had a point about the fight canceling out if the fight is stand up Charles is going to beat Islam tf up. I don’t see Islam dominating on the ground like everybody else
Even i am more of a islam fan I favour olives in this matchup...reason islam lacks experience in fights against top guys ...it's not his fault ..but yeah olives has better experience in fights against top guys
Islam has lot of experience don't forget that he trains with a guy who was undefeated inside the octagon that's khabib islam is able to win few rounds against him 💪
Wow 👀 I was surprised by the answers by people directly related to the sport, anyway the amount of Delusion strikes me, Islam will literary grind down the olive to make olive oil
I'm glad his persona is more down to earth now. He no longer needs to be outlandish to get fights or even stay in the UFC. He's obviously talented but Usman and Khamzat are better imo.
@@Lbcyoung As far as I know Khabib guessed Gaethje fight right. And his fight with Chandler and Tony. Only Poirier even though Khabib guessed he can easily get subbed. Meanwhile Colby guesses fights half right half wrong. There is an entire 5 min video of Colby getting predictions wrong.
Oliveira will get in trouble if he gets down after a punch, like other fights. If theres a pure takedown, Oliveira won't be in trouble on the ground, and Islam is probably nota gonna take this risk. That being said, the way to approach Islam and Khabib as fighters is to pressure them, it might be the only way, and nobody did it (Tibau did it and he had some success against Khabib, and thats Charles biggest asset. Charles might have the perfect style to deal with Islam, but he has to be VERY careful with that right hand.

We will also see how good Islam is standing up and whether he will use or just wrestle straight away. It's going to be a very intriguing match against 2 very high level fighters.
Khabib has saying we will finish the fight early..what he talk he meant it..
Khabib made 3 wrong predictions about oliveira :P
@@rixter69 He is who he is for a reason and one of them is an extremely high fight IQ. Islam has been trained by the GOAT and he will show you
@@notoftentold4076 1)He haven't high fight IQ, he do just good ground control in strikers, nothing special. 2)Isn't GOAT, he want fight with GSP but he scary fight with Usman, because is good only with strikers!
@@rixter69 khabib ain't goat ..
@@rixter69 he picked Olivera to win against Justin.. know your facts before you comment something stupid
The difference between Charles and Islam is everyone “wants” Charles to win but everyone “knows” Islam is going to win.

Even though I'm rooting for Islam but at this moment Charles is a step ahead of Islam. Charles is more experienced as a UFC fighter and has a better resume. But if Islam beats him Khabib should be recognized as the best LW of all time. If not , Charles is the LW goat !!!
I had always believed that Islam Makhachev is the greatest lightweight in the UFC because "Khabib had said it" and now I believe that Islam is the number 1 best pound for pound fighter in the UFC because "Khabib has said so". These European and American passive aggressive haters can't do anything other than witnessing the greatness of Dagestani fighters. These haters say Islam & Khabib boring because they make them look wrong in the end about everything what they said earlier. They make these fighters look as easy fights. These passive aggressive haters feel depressed, defeated, disturbed, infuriated and hopeless after watching every fight of Islam & Khabib. They hate to give credit to these guys what they deserve from the beginning and it will be like that even after this but it doesn't matter at all.
Islam gets KO'd when going in for a take down- knee from CA landing straight on his jaw, lights out.
Thank you Helen! Great content
Thanks for the video, HELEN YEE SPORTS
love Beneil ! great analysis
Charles will win
If Beneil is leaning toward Islam Makhachev even with the slightest distance, then we have to stick with makhachev against Olivera, cuz Beneil is the one who can seemingly beat or atleast give him the toughest fight of all.
Jens has really become such an underrated analyst.
Allah hukbar🔥🔥🔥🔥 Islam will win inshallah
This is such a good fight. One of the best in a long time. I acc can’t see none of them losing so idk what will happen
Islam makhachev all the way.
Olives has got only a puncher's chance. Islam would never tap in any of the circumstance. Olives is gonna get beaten to the pulp on the ground.
Watch Olives teep, clip and sub Islam
You are right
Islam wont tap
He will go to sleep lmao
@@rr9674 LOL nice dream and then you woke up.
It’s simple, if you want to lose your money…by all means…bet on Charles.
Simple and true
Y’all never learn 😂 I’m never doubting that man again. Charles is scary rn
I will never bet on another man than myself
Too much can go wrong
@@Texmma 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we stop with this charles victim mentality. In every comment section all the fans are picking him. Many fighters are as well. Reminds me of khabib and Conor in 2018.
Exactly, go to any comment section of a vid about Charles vs Islam and you’ll find 90% of the comments in favor of Charles despite the fact that Khabib and Islam are so popular and fan favourite. Please stop with this narrative that people are disrespecting Oliviera. Even fellow fighters are picking Oliviera to win
LMAO when Beneil asked if Islam could take Oliveira down. That's the easy part cause the guy easily falls on the floor every time. Islam will Smesh the crap out of Oliveira in the first round and make it look like he didn't even try. Easy win for the upcoming light weight champion
Easy win ?? .....go back to sleep !
@@m9oxosay what?
High IQ fighters will always pick Makhachev - some are just biased
Biased exactly like your comment 😂
Charles been beating n1 contenders, Islam been beating gatekeepers n journeymen.
@@rr9674 but is it his fault? everbody tried to avoid a fight against Islam, and everybody knows it.
@@martinhj5255 does not the change the fact that he beat nobody
@@tistakere5055 still not his fault that everybody in top 8 was ducking him, so he didnt have the chance to beat any high level opponent, but you'll see what happens when he fights Oliveira you are gonna realise how good he is.
Thank you for the high frequency high quality interviews you and shcmo are lighting f
Islam gonna make it look easy. UD win
I am now literally feeling that makhachev is in olivera's head now, rentfree😂. I mean Khabib and his team is not disrespecting olivera at all ,they r happy and training hard and not spending time on social media to see what shit who's speaking but olivera is seeing all those fan made fake hype creating vids,post,etc on his insta, youtube... Poor innocent olivera🤭😂. I mean you can't get this emotional if you're a fighter, especially a championship mentality is not like that.
I think makhachev's and khabib's confidence is so much that olivera is treating it like arrogance 🤦🏻 i think olivera's gonna lose this fight so bad bcoz Teamkhabib already inside his head, olivera is responding to everything, and khabib's entire team is laughing after seeing this coz they really wanted it😂 , they are chilling, training hard💯 , enjoying and confident and are always respectful and humble🤷🏻♂️
some fans / fighters always said Khabib / Makhacev / or other fighters that always fight on the ground are boring fighters.. if boring, just watch kickboxing or muaythai.. please respect ground game in MMA. in ground game / grappling, u cant even do small mistake to avoid submission and punch.. on the surface we see nothing happen, but actually lots of movement and tactical happen between both fighters..... And dont forget that Charles hold the most submission in UFC! So is Charles a boring fighter?
Charles supporters are always offended if there is an opinion that is not on Charles' side.. hope they watch " ISLAM MAKHACHEV V CHARLES OLIVEIRA | UFC LONDON PREVIEW | THE 1% CLUB PODCAST W/JAMES KRAUSE" on youtube. An analyst from Coach and fighters at the same time in UFC. Islam’s style is just the best counter for BJJ. Oliveira has to knock him out.
A lot of wrestlers are boring. Khabib was not.
Besides, you can do small mistake on ground and still survive/ you can do small mistake on feet and get ko'd. Congrats, you showed your bias 👏
Thanks Helen you're a Star
Dariush is good guy man, knowing that he was supposed to fight Islam but Islam leapfrogged him to a title shot. Still he's out there not sulking and actually breaking down the fight!
When Justin Gathje says "you hit fu*king hard" then you have to believe it. It is gonna be amazing fight... Agility vs Strength.
I think gaethje's chin is gone
@@omarmosaad9878 a Muslim lol
Obviosly you would say that

Big facts
And then if islam wins u gonna edit ur comment right
He won’t win. Then y’all might understand why beating strikers with no ground game doesn’t prepare you for guys like Islam.
@@calvincalvin3132 yes I will , I really thought Pena was going to win and I was so wrong
@@calvincalvin3132 thanks
I feel Islam will get the win
Oliveira CAN'T:
- outstrike Islam (because he is defensive)
- outwrestle Islam (because he is dagestani)
- out-submit Islam (because he trains with adcc champs)
- out-kick Islam (because it is not oliveiras strenght)
whats left?
ps. i am an oliveira fan, but lets be real here.
You say' lets be real here' when your comments are anything but ! You give Charles no credit at all .....ridiculous !
You absolutely mma fan..hat off mate..
@@m9oxo what did i tell you?
Charles wins but in a close fight
Oliveira will approach the fight with caution, he can't do them body kicks on Makhachev like he did his previous opponents as it would lead to him getting caught and get swept to the ground. He would also find Makhachev very difficult to engage in a brawl with on the stand up as Makhachev has a very defensive style. Makhachev's plan would be the usual, clinch with Oliveira near the fence, fatigue him until the later rounds and win by either unanimous decision or TKO while Oliveira's plan would be to quickly penetrate through his defense, knock him down and submit him early.
Tko charles round 1 minute 2 mark
Let's talk now
Wete going to see a big difference here people, Islam's strength and top pressure
Charlie Olives is gonna choke the dog shit out of Islam. 🤣
You got predictions from some great names!
Khabib said Islam will ride Charles like his horse😂
Damm cant wait
I would like to see a 5 rounds ground and pound
Stop overestimating Charles size. Gilbert is as tall as Oliviera, and his neck is the size of Oliviera´s thigh.
Gilbert is a former 155er, so Gilbert is just lying about the size factor. Islam is as tall, and he looks about 18 pounds heavier than Olives in the ring.
Dude charles is the biggest lw on the roster him and drew dober cut from 183
@@omarmosaad9878 183 isn´t the biggest. Dustin walked around at 190 when he was 145. Chandler is probably at 190-195 rn. Islam is huge. He´s probably also anove 190.
@@Noel_Eriksson there's a difference between walk around weight and your weight inside camp rda used to walk around 200 if I'm not mistaken but cut from 178~180 charles cuts from 183 dustin cuts from 176
@@omarmosaad9878 I´m not sure how that makes sense. Charles looks very small compared to Dustin, Chandler, Islam, Dober, etc.
@@Noel_Eriksson charles looks small????? Charles' coach said charles was cutting from 185 before he was 183 inside the octagon do you think they're lying?
Charles has the big fights experience. Islam in aka beats everyone let's see if he can do it with millions watching and the pressure of the entire Muslim world on his shoulders
Why are you making it religious match? Is it because his name is Islam? 😂 this like Chris.
One of the most foolish comment I have ever seen.
What does Muslims or religious got to do with this??
Good job Helen🤟🤟🤟 Love From 🇮🇳...🔥❤
Would love too see Charles defend against Beneil
Islam has the advantage because a fighter can win an MMA fight by simply (1) pinning his opponent against the cage without any damage and (2) laying on top of the opponent without doing any damage.
Most of them does not predict.
Ok here's my prediction
Charles will get submitted by Islam
This is how the fight will go
On stand-up
Charles will try to hit Islam with hook, that's the main weapon that has beaten Gaethje and Chandler, the other punches will not be as lethal. Islam will not get hurt by the hooks, he will block them, or evade them, this is the only real way Charles could win against Islam. If he cannot KO Islam via Hooks, nothing will work against Islam. Charles knees, kicks will not faze Islam, they are not lethal to Islam.
Why I say these? Simple, Islam's striking defense is on another level, Islam's face has been clean since a long time, it's just like Khabib's.
People will bring his loss against Adriano, it won't repeat like that, Islam does not have rushing habit like that anymore, it's an old story, just like Oliveira is a different fighter today, Islam is also a different fighter nowadays.
Islam only strikes when it's safe, a very cautious counter puncher. His defense is different than Khabib's which has more head movement, more hand blocks, more straightforward pressure but results the same, clean face.
No one does that in the entire UFC besides Khabib, Islam, Umar Nurmagomedov. Clean face with world class fighters cannot be done, unless you have the same styles like they are. Charles will see his own blood, Islam will not see his own blood.
----------------
On the ground
This will be the highlight, both fighters are known for their superior ground game.
Islam is never get submitted on the official matches in his entire PRO career, it speaks for his submission defense. Charles is the UFC holder for the most submission wins, it speaks for his submission offense.
Islam will takedown Charles, it's guaranteed. People will say Charles will hurt Islam on the stand-up just based Adriano Islam old fight, it will not happen, I have explain it at the beginning. Islam is gonna control Charles on the ground, there are only 2 plays or 2 scenario.
First, Islam will try to prolong the game, make Charles tired with his ground game, or ground and pound, it could get into 3 rounds, then Charles get submitted via rear naked choke or something similar.
Second, Islam will try to make the game shorter, just like what he did to Dan Hooker, it's gonna be very short fight, first round finish, and everyone will be very surprised.
Islam is different from Khabib, Khabib does not like short fight, he likes to maul people, he wants to show his domination by ground and pound, or even striking offense like what he did into high class strikers such as Michael johnson and Barboza where he keeps moving forward or even Conor, where he stand up for almost a full round at round 3, although he lost the round, but you can see he's not afraid against the best striker in the UFC, no matter who.
Islam will not charge to enemy like Khabib, but his takedown, even more dangerous than Khabib's, he will not use the fence as often as or like Khabib, he will takedown the enemy anywhere he wants, smoother takedown than Khabib, more technical than Khabib. In this case, I think Islam will do kimura to Charles or triangle choke.
--------------
People will keep saying these stuffs, Islam never fights top opponent or Islam does not deserve the title fight,
Dan Hooker was a top opponent even though he is outside top 10 right now, we all know who Dan hooker is, and then people will say Dan Hooker got short notice to the fight, and only had short camp not full camp. Do you really think Dan Hooker can stop Islam's takedown if he had a full camp training? Come on, no one submits Dan Hooker the way Islam did, Islam did it in a flash.
Arman Tsarukyan was not in top 10 when he fought Islam, but now he's number 10, the grappling fight between them was amazing, and Islam dominated the fight.
Rafael Fiziev who just beat RDA by KO, speaks highly about Islam everytime he is asked about Islam, and he ranks number 7 right now.
Paul Felder admitted he was afraid to fight Islam, you know Paul Felder was a top fighter on the lightweight division right
Islam is main Khabib's sparring partner, Khabib has vouched how good Islam is, he thinks Islam is an elite fighter, isn't it enough? the only fighter who cannot be touched in the most stacked divison in UFC says so.
Islam could fight RDA, Beneil Dariush or other top fighters if they were not injured before the fights or rejected the fights, it's not Islam's fault.
If Islam really undeserved to get a title fight, when he wins against Charles in a dominant fashion, what will you say? After that win, if you think Ferguson, Gaethje, Dustin, Chandler can give a threat to Islam, you are just bias against Islam.
Boy,you were right on the money! 😂 Literally the most educated and intelligent comment in whole comment section.
The question is, can Islam's chin hold up, because he is going to get hit several times very hard before the take down. Then on the ground how well is Oliveira able to deal with Islam, Oliveira is a big 155er don't forget, and he has 4" reach advantage.
I think Oliveira will submit him. I don't see this being a knockout because Islam is not an aggressive striker like the others Oliveira has faced. Islam will be aggressive with the wrestling though, and will at some point give Oliveira the submission. Unless in some alternate universe, Islam's chain wrestling is so overwhelming for Oliveira to use his Ju-jitsu to match, which I don't see happening.
Can’t lie Jens had a point about the fight canceling out if the fight is stand up Charles is going to beat Islam tf up. I don’t see Islam dominating on the ground like everybody else
Even i am more of a islam fan I favour olives in this matchup...reason islam lacks experience in fights against top guys ...it's not his fault ..but yeah olives has better experience in fights against top guys
This is #1 bullshit
Islam has lot of experience don't forget that he trains with a guy who was undefeated inside the octagon that's khabib islam is able to win few rounds against him 💪
Wow 👀 I was surprised by the answers by people directly related to the sport, anyway the amount of Delusion strikes me, Islam will literary grind down the olive to make olive oil
I need Colby's prediction. His takes are unmatched.
I'm glad his persona is more down to earth now. He no longer needs to be outlandish to get fights or even stay in the UFC. He's obviously talented but Usman and Khamzat are better imo.
His predictions are half half, Khabibs predictions are the best except now he is biased so cant be trusted.
@@tarci2994 Khabib embarrassed himself in his predictions of Oliveira's last two fights. Colby, on the other hand, nailed them.
@@Lbcyoung As far as I know Khabib guessed Gaethje fight right.
And his fight with Chandler and Tony.
Only Poirier even though Khabib guessed he can easily get subbed.
Meanwhile Colby guesses fights half right half wrong.
There is an entire 5 min video of Colby getting predictions wrong.
@@Lbcyoung And a bit of an overstretch calling someones predictions embarrasing at the end of the day they are just that predictions.
Charles by 3rd round TKO
Cant wait man
Ofcourse Gilbert Burns will go with his fellow brazilian. DUH!
I think Beneil Dariush he should have taken the title shot. Islam from top 10 he fight only with Arman number 10! :P
One thing i noticed during this interview that nobody is looking at Helen yee 🤣
Islam vs oliviera is like atom vs nuclear
Everyone in all weight class scared of Olivera💪👊💪👊
Charles is so dangerous everytime his the underdog
Why it's Conor not going after Olivera for the belt?
it will be game of fundamental . I love makhachiv but it wont going to be as excited as gamrot vs arman
Oliveira will get in trouble if he gets down after a punch, like other fights. If theres a pure takedown, Oliveira won't be in trouble on the ground, and Islam is probably nota gonna take this risk. That being said, the way to approach Islam and Khabib as fighters is to pressure them, it might be the only way, and nobody did it (Tibau did it and he had some success against Khabib, and thats Charles biggest asset. Charles might have the perfect style to deal with Islam, but he has to be VERY careful with that right hand.
