it's going to be insane watching someone going into a fight with Olivera with the goal of taking him down.

Islam is strong and that is how he gets tko and submission wins, but if olivera can use that and adjust in the fight, he can either submit or tko him.

Islam is more well rounded fighter then Khabib ... Khabib was all about the ground game & his strength is what made him beast. Islam can strike with the best and his grappling is elite.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

That's what Dariush is saying without actually saying it that way, as saying so would be seen as a "slight" against Khabib the undefeated champ. But Benny is right: while both are next level wrestlers and grapplers (Islam and Charles have exactly 43% sub wins each), Islam is so much more well rounded, he is able and willing to do normal stand-up for long stretches until he finds an entry angle; and then as Benny said, when he goes for it, chances of him taking you down are very high. Khabib, on the other hand, has exceptional erratic movements and a good jabs; but literally every microseconds he's moving on his feet, it's to set up his chain wrestling. He either pushes people toward the fence and then clinch or lure them there back himself moving there. He doesn't take you down the first attempt, okay, no problem. The next one comes right up in the next few seconds or so, etc. He knows it; his opponent knows it... so the opponent is ALWAYS in a defensive mode, even as they strike out, because it knows the moment Khabib's ready, he's diving again for your wait or legs. And he will, as he himself said it, do it 100 times if it needs to bring you down! That's very exhausting, more mentally than physically, for the opponent, even if Khabib doesn't take them down the first few times, or at all (like the rare case against Tibau).

[@Shoisays]

But in the ring only Khabib rules. No one controls opponent like Khabib does. Physically or Mentally. Even myself likes Islam too.

[@tacticalmattress]

Yeah that's the first thing I ever noticed about Islam. His striking was way above Khabib's on their debuts, and later fights. Khabib's striking did get way better though.

Oliveria is way more dangerous at submissions and fighting off his back. Depends on what you mean by "grappler".

Both have improved their strikes, Charles probably has better striking. Islam has crazy takedowns (defense too), if he can hold control and strike on the ground about nobody right now can beat him. In this fight compared to others of his, he’s facing perhaps the most slippery, talented, and unpredictable grappler and bjj specialist . Islam can for sure take him down but Charles has often shown to find a random awkward position and make a submission out of it.

E L I T E CAN't wAIT islam vs oliviera in Abu Dhabi next october... wht u think guys ? who win next fight ? n how ?

[@footballitslife5580]

Charles its a top level jui jitsu like ONE of the best to ever do it, full of records and a lot a pro jui jitsu fights, Islam its a top in "amauter" sambo in russia , Charles beat everybody in top 10 and who Islam faught from the top 10 contenders? Idk i love khabib and his history but Charles deserves respect, imagine if Islam did what Charles have done ... Charles its rock solid now and has the best ground game in the UFC look at the records and bonus and subs . Not an opinion just facts. The fight has to be in Brazil not Abu Dhabi. Peace 💪🌟🇧🇷🇵🇹

Lol go talk to the scale and ask why it took the belt from the ultimate quitter. Amateur sambo my ass hole. He was two times world combat sambo champion. The ultimate quitter fans are now getting more and more delusional as day goes by. Be prepare some tissue paper to wipe your tears when the quitter got smoked by Makachev no matter in Abu Dhabi or in Favela.

When islam fights a real one, than you know what he is capable of. I am not jumping on that hypetrain, but Oliveira will Show Islams Level and Oliveira is savage against goatmilkdrinking Islam.

[@matheusangelo7001]

That guy never fougth with nobody from the top, and probably will get a figth for the title, why don´t make the same thing like was with Poatan? let he figth with somebody who really is relevant in the octagon, and let us know if he really is the real deal, when Dos Anjos challenged him, he just run, he will figth for the title because Khabib said he will.

If you don't know..now you know 😂

[@mikegabriel3294]

Honestly, the greatest fight at 155 that would never be is Islam vs Khabib. That would be something else.

[@classified0713]

They spar eachother all the time not even Intresting for them

[@ishitrealbad3039]

"if sambo was easy it would be called jiu-jitsu" lmfao sick burn

[@rok2791]

weird background music

[@viewlesscheese]

Reading inbetween the lines of what Khabib has said about Islam I wonder if he etired cos there was a small part of him that was afraid of facing and losing to Islam.

[@hmmm3210]

Nah . They never wanted to face off , they're literally from the same gym , he wanted Islam to succeed him and his father wanted that. Stop BSing lol.

[@NH-gq9qk]

Man...imagine Islam going so far that he entices Khabib to come back for one more match. The dream match: khabib vs islam

[@leonard1261]

Olivera will smoke Islam then call out khabib!

[@truthseekerKJV]

Finally, someone with a working brain.

Asking khabib or dc about Islam is like asking your mother if you are beautiful :D

[@garygwinn5818]

Charles Olivera, is a great Champ, but his title reign is about to end.
