Islam got championship fight without fighting porier,gaethje,dariush or chandler...I mean technically he could've beat them all but fighting them could have given much needed ring time and perfect his game for Olivera.

Islam got a title shot after a 10 win streak beating Chris Wade, Nik Lentz, Gleison Tibau, Kaian Johnson, Arman Tsarukyan, Davi Ramos, Drew Dober, Thiago Moises, Dan Hooker and Bobby Green. Meanwhile Charles got a title shot after a 9 win streak off of Clay Guida, Christos Giagos, Jim Miller, David Teymur, Nik Lentz, Jared Gordon, Kevin Lee, and washed Tony Ferguson. I'd say they're about as equal.

[@Fenrisdog999]

Even if Islam beats Charles i have no idea how anyone could think Islam is a superior all around fighter to Charles in any way shape or form. Cruz said it best if he can safely pound Charles on the ground he could win that way but fighters or fans saying Islam is a more complete fighter than Charles is just crazy IMO.

[@jujubean9063]

I have to agree. On paper, this should go to Charles. I like Islam, but I’m not sure he’s as good as the hype suggests. I want Islam to win, but I don’t see anything in his style that suggests he definitely will. It’s possible, but it would be foolish to rule out Charles. The guy is incredible. Perhaps his poor vision will give Islam an edge as Islam does seem to be a very patient and smart fighter. Damn, I can’t wait to see this fight. It’s rare that I have zero clue who is likely to win.

[@encompasshealth9227]

Islam is still developing. Both fighters are class acts and have my respect.

[@jmz2144]

Islam does have a dangerous submission game. If he is stronger than Charles on the ground, I can see Islam submitting him.

This is like calm and composed khamzat chimav vs Gilbert burns

[@rexoni2512]

Heart says Charles, brain says Islam. I say this just because of Khamzat's performance of how dominant wrestling can control a black belt BJJ (Kevin Holland) and Charles's subs threat mostly come from offensive subs, if Islam were to pressure with wrestling, this will need to be negated by defensive subs. We have seen Charles trying to do these defensive subs against Chandler recently and Chandler handled it pretty well. I really hope Charles practiced this part and doesn't get overwhelmed by the wrestling.

Lol we saw khamzat want nothing with Gilbert burns on the ground and burns has way better bjj than holland

"At that, Charles off his back is the best in the world." Mate, I know it's kind of cheap to comment after the fight is over but this prediction couldn't have gone any worse for you.

I think for sure this fight will be great. This fight is going to be about cardio. I don't think we have ever seen Islam in a 5 round fight so that should be interesting to see. Both are pretty damn good on the ground. Islam has great wrestling while Charles has great jiu jitsu. It will be a fun fight to watch for sure.

[@larey12]

I really want Oliveira to win but the way I see this fight ending is when Islam dominates him on the ground and ends up submitting him.

[@gregoryclark7566]

This is a tough one. Both fighters are balanced. Charles is very strategic and creative. He also hits hard and he has a great ground game. Islam is probably the strongest guy in his weight class. His submissions are another level. He also hits hard. I give a slight edge to Islam, because I really don't see anyone beating him in his weight division. But who knows what will really happen in this fight? Can only speculate.

[@salahspage7441]

A tough fight for both guys, but I also feel that Oliveira is reckless when attacking and that's a big red flag when fighting someone like Islam, Oliveira got dropped and hurt in most of his recent fights but all his opponents didn't follow up because they were scared from getting submitted and that's not the case with Islam because he will go deep with him on the ground

[@andreitomescu7847]

Funny how a lot of people pick Islam to win just because of the bias towards him due to his religion. The funniest thing is that Islam doesn’t even remotely deserve a title shot because his best win was against a declining Dan Hooker. Charles has fought the elite of the elite and has finished all, but one of his opponents in his 11 fight win streak (had the round been another 5-10 seconds he would have snapped Tony’s arm. Charles has proven to be a massive threat on the feet and the ground, so Islam isn’t safe anywhere. This is by far Islam’s biggest test in his makeshift home city and the pressure may very well get him to lose composure if he gets rocked on the feet. The amount of disrespect thrown Charle’s way by Islam fans is disgusting and even though I don’t have much against Islam as a competitor, I want him to lose because of how shit his fans are.

[@tha1f1ghter]

Yeah - but it was ok for Chandler to get a shot after beating Dan,,,

[@andreitomescu7847]

@@tha1f1ghter Hooker was moments away from finishing Dustin on the feet and was ranked in the top 5 when he fought Chandler. Gaethje had just lost to Khabib and Dustin wanted to fight Mcgregor, so it made sense for Chandler to fight Oliveira. Plus he starched Dan Hooker in a way which has never been done before so Chandler obviously deserved the title shot given the circumstances.

Charles in a new fighter now not because of some mental bullshit, he just got really stronger, he has always been extremely technical, he was just too weak.

I don’t know… Olivera is a scary dude. The guy is a terminator. Justin said he literally felt Olivera’s strikes in his tongue. He said his shots were the hardest he’s ever been hit and this man has faced some tough ass guys. And Olivera literally just keeps walking forward through contact. Even if he gets dropped, he gets back up and KEEPS GOING FORWARD. Dude is the hardest hitting lightweight, a super submission artist and just seems to dominant to be KO’d or subbed. I just don’t see him losing.
