It's the definition of a 50/50 fight. Anyone who thinks Isbum is gonna walk through Charles is delusional moron. Charles could very well walk through the guy who hasn't beaten a single top 10 opponent, but I think that's unlikely as well.

The odds are only close because people are emotionally betting Charles oliveira. 

Oliveira was a 4-1 dog(vs islam) before finishing gaethje
For some reason people dislike Islam. Even though he's one of the nicest guys on the roster.

It's not his fault everyone ran from him. 

Oliveira takes a beating every fight. Meanwhile Islam takes 0 damage.

I know for a fact oliveira won't finish Bobby green in 1 round. Y'all act like it's easy to 30-27 armen. To stop Bobby in round 1. To SUBMIT Thiago moises. To ko roided tibau in a minute.

Dan Hooker is dog****, stop being stupid. His number 6 ranking was worthless garbage just like Tony Ferguson's number 10 ranking was a few weeks ago. Dan Hooker is barely a top 15 guy. At one point he was a solid top 10 when he fought Poirier, but after that he's looked like dog****. He's 1-4 in his last 5 and beating Nasrat doesn't make you a top 10 guy.

I don't give a **** who ran from him and who didn't, man is that all these Dagestani nut riders can say??? I'm not ****ting on him for never fighting a top 5 guy, I'm just saying he's never been tested against an elite guy and you Khabum fangirls think he's gonna walk through Oliveira? 🤣🤣🤣 Please. Not his fault he hasn't fought anyone good but that doesn't change the fact that Oliveira ain't no god damn Bobby Green, and when Islam sees what a REAL high level guy looks like, he's gonna crumble

I disagree. Bobby would get finished in the first round by Charlie, he’d just take his back and lock in the RNC. Or better yet, drop him like he did to Justin then lock-in the RNC

They are the best lightweights in the world with 2 completely different styles, Islam is about dominance and maintaining control with pressure grappling and drowning you. Charlie Olives is an all action guy who takes big shots and comes back with better shots, whether it’s to the body or to the head. His ground game has always been amazing but he’s stepped up his aggression which has made a huge difference 

This is by far the best matchup of the year, and I expect it to deliver either way it goes

yea fr charles vs islam is the biggest fight we have confirmed right now and its so interesting due to such different styles yes both are great on the floor but its different islam has a safe gameplan that works which is take you down keep control until the position for a sub presents itself now charles is the kind of guy to throw caution to the wind and give it his all to finish you both of these things can end up working against them will charles recklessness cost him and put him in bad positions or will islams one gameplan not work and now he somehow has to keep the fight on the feet we find out in a month and i cant wait

Charles vs Islam is by far the biggest fight of all time- I'm kidding, biggest fight of the year 100% though. Not even McGregor could top this unless he actually fights someone good

Oh right Islam beat those 2 guys. I was wondering why tf you randomly mentioned Barnaoui lmao. Meh that's debatable. Arman is most certainly elite, but Islam fought a 22 year old Arman on short notice. Plus the current version of Arman got slightly outgrappled by Gamrot, so that doesn't make Islam seem like some unstoppable beast. As for Barnaoui he's aight. Definitely high level but idk if he's "elite". He's never fought anyone on that level to prove his worth

And yes Charles would drop Green tf? He'd smash that bum with ease

It’s very possible that Charlie drops Bobby, it’s mma. Oliveira has power and accuracy. I’d say it’s unlikely, but it’s possible. How am I a casual? I guess if you have an opinion about mma that someone doesn’t agree with then that makes you a casual lmao
