The worst and the best versions of Charles Oliveira and Arman’s only “Achilles heel”.Lightweight greats and a detailed comparison of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev - skill vs skill.

He had a EXCELLENT response to Khabib and Islam. I 100% agree with his assessment of the two.

It's evident from this that he holds Khabib in high regard, considering him the lightweight GOAT. Despite this, some casual fans fail to give Khabib the credit he deserves. As a result, I've become a fan of Arman now.

[@Bdestiny933]

Khabib is GOAT imo. Dominated every fighter, lost maybe 1 round in 29 fights and never got cut/bloody in the most bloody sport.

[@qwertyali2943]

[@ohdangitsbbq]

@@Bdestiny933 Khabib lost against Tibau pretty clearly. Majority of the stats favored Tibau, he's the only fighter to have taken down Khabib and he scored 2 takedowns on him. Meanwhile Khabib failed to get a single takedown. That was pretty much the only fight that Khabib genuinely lost.

[@ryantiarno4294]

Arman has good analytical skills, this is championship material. Good luck on your fight with Oliveira.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

It is that mind set that made me pick him to win over Oliveira. If it's just skills alone or experience or alone --- if it's just skills plus experience fighting against elites --- Charles is way better and more experienced. I picked Arman to win mostly because I think he is GOOD ENOUGH as a Top 5, to take advantage of the many freebies that Charles will give him, in their stand-up. The problem, the FATAL problem, with Charles is that he fights FOR the fans, to make sure they like him, to makes sure he gives them "excitement" and "fun." That means Charles fights EVERY OPPONENT exactly the same way, from pure strikers like Justin and Dustin, on the one hand, to Islam, on the other: he simply bites down on his mouth piece and marches forward every moment in the octagon, saying to himself: "In the next few moments, it's either me or him, going down." Imagine you having to fight a tactical Charles... someone with elite Muay Thai, with height, reach, size, and power... who happens to have the skills to sub you either standing or on the mat, using NEXT LEVEL BJJ skills and maneuvers! I would never pick against such a tactical Charles. Again, skills and experience.... Charles has more of them than all of the fighters at 155. Unfortunately, Charles simply doesn't fight with brains, tactics, or distinctions among opponents. He fights EVERYONE exactly the same. So, even for consecutive guys that he would eventually go on to finish, Charles BARELY made it from one guy to the next, as he is constantly and badly hurt, in every round, in every fight... among the elite opponents.... Your chin only lasts so long, being constantly punched by extremely technical strikers (even if you're the most skilled fighter among your peer). As a CONTRAST, as Arman soundly noted, KHABIB ALMOST NEVER GOT HIT HARD ON THE FACE, ever! That meant if Khabib had stayed on, in MMA, he could have ---- without the unfortune injuries Arman also alluded to --- fought for another 4-5 years, being at the top... because, unlike Charles, Khabib had a SUPER HIGH MMA IQ... he used exceptional tactics (not many but the few he used, they're all excellent tactics)... and because of those things/assets/tactics/skills.... Khabib hardly ever was badly hurt ... Justin only kicked Khabib's legs once or twice, before Justin was taken down and EASILY subbed. Anyway..... I have correctly picked every Charles fights --- wins and losses --- since the Paul Felder. If this one, which I've picked Arman to win, is to be a wrong pick.... then I would be more than happy to be wrong.... because, again, in terms of PURE MMA SKILLS and experience..... nobody, not excluding Islam, surpasses Charles...
