Olivera's kill or be killed style of fighting is what makes his fights so exciting.

[@mehrabhasantanim338]

But not up against brother brother fighter who has heavy grappling style, I hope he will change his fighting style against grappler.

[@xeta180]

​@@mehrabhasantanim338smudge grapplers with big meaty hooks impose their will on him.

​@@mehrabhasantanim338 Almost submit Arman, survive to Dariush ground in pound, but lost bad to Islam

[@jasonborotra4208]

@@mehrabhasantanim338 It isn't just any grappler, it's Islam, he probably just won't be able to beat him.

[@mehrabhasantanim338]

@@dudown_1631 Yes, but he is talking about kill or be killed fighting style. But up against grappler his fighting style becomes much more passive.

i think charles understands the questions without the translator. Would love to see Charles win the title again!!!

[@Williamdominga]

É ele sabe mais ou menos do que se trata a conversa

[@Gustavohustle]

i don't think he understand well, but is easy to understand than talking. I can read and listening easily, but to write and talk is very hard.

[@youknow-hm7cg]

i feel like most of them do but they choose to speak their home language so their people back home can understand them

[@xeta180]

Oque impressiona no cartel do Charles é o numero de vitorias que ele tem. 34 vitorias, numero que poucos tem dentro da empresa

[@joeleliasfernandesjr.5861]

Charles weigh cut seems to be being tough on him, he looks super drained and he is talking super slow.

[@Williamdominga]

Sim, eu acho que a academia do Diego Lima limita demais o jogo do Charles. Ele poderia ser um lutador muito melhor do que ele já é

[@Gustavohustle]

In fact, he always does this. It's the way he cuts weight that isn't very good IMO. Instead of cutting a good chunk of it on Thursday/Friday, he prefers to cut it off throughout the week and sleep from Thursday to Friday at the right weight.

[@ZakiBTW]

This is literally him every fight week he cuts a lot of weight like most of the lightweights

[@oldschoolnewyork7735]

Champion has a name

[@Jamal-g5m5x]

People forget man, Chandler was 1-2 ground shots away from that fight being over while Charles was on his knees desperately trying to grab hold of a leg. If Chandler isn't a complete fool with his fight IQ, he could easily be champ right now.

[@lykastannis7662]

I think Chandler has a better chance against Makhachev than anyone at lightweight. But he's too dumb against guys you cant make mistakes against.

[@alexgonzalez8954]

People forget maaan !!!!

[@Jakers_Gaming]

Olives always lays down when he gets shook. He can still finish even when he’s rattled from the back, I don’t know why people don’t notice that. It’s a smart addition to his game because he’s pretty reckless on the feet. Justin is a D1 wrestler and wouldn’t dare chance it.

[@dreadnaughttactical]

forget it maaan!!!!

[@khalilhannah4005]

facts as far as IQ goes Chandler cant help himself ... he does not have to make all fights into "wars" but he gets caught up in entertainment and forgets the object is to simply win ... you can tell hes the type of person that loves to entertain his guest lol

[@campingalbertacanada248]

Let's go Do Bronx.. Canada can hardly wait!

Why does Charles talk with a smile when he's not making fun of people?

[@StressedPitbull1021]

Yea he’s getting koed. He was like this w Islam and got finished easily. I hope I’m wrong as fuck tho

[@Williamdominga]

Charles é um lutador completo, bom em pé, bom na luta agarrada, por baixo tambem é perigoso mas eu sinto que a academia do diego lima limita demais o jogo do charles. Charles é um excelente lutador mas ele poderia ser muito melhor do que ele ja e... A academia do diego lima vem perdendo muitas lutas dentro do ufc, foi ter uma vitoria depois de 7 derrotas consecutivas. O chandler é um lutador muito perigoso, é dificil de dominar ele. Pra vencer ele tera que sofrer

Pink: Ei Cérebro, o que você vai fazer hoje à noite? Cérebro: Conquistar o mundo. Assim são todas as entrevistas do Charles Oliveira. E sempre nasce um filho à cada luta. "Tá ligado".

[@oBlvd]

Oliveiras weakness is his chin and he also has no head movement.

[@shabearpoonja4288]

Charles Oliveira wins this fight even with a new version of Chandler 2.0 simply because he is just not capable on the ground when it goes there .

[@ronanmcconnell6788]

Only way he wins is by ko other than that chandler is just better than him everywhere

[@BestWarrior-iw8jr]

he don’t wanna fight Islam again tho 😂😂 he would rather fight Arman for the belt
