His fragile ego is so invested in his picks that he has a mental breakdown when he sees other (smarter) opinions.

Oliveira won't shoot takedowns or want to be on the ground so his only chance is to KO him and Islam is the least hit guy in the ufc.
It's just a matter of Islam getting a takedown and doing what he wants once Charles is gassed.

All you gotta go is watch his fights and you see why he’s such a huge underdog. For some reason I thought that he was decent but then I watched the tape and realized why he’s being glossed over

Charles Oliveira, SUB, R2
Oliveira is gonna catch Islam in a submission. I hate the beef that's happening between fans though. Both guys are elite let's just hope our guy wins and that's it. Makhachev has a huge chance to ground and pound Charles as well. I'm taking Oliveira though. He's a role model.
Sterling vs. Dillashaw
Aljamain Sterling, SUB, R3
Sterling is gonna take the back eventually and sub him. I favor Dillashaw with the striking but Aljo has insanely good grappling. Hate him all you want but he's elite and will remain champ.
Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, TKO, R2
Vicious ground and pound coming for Yan. I want O'Malley to win though because it would be awesome to see him as the face of the UFC and if Sterling wins I really want to see them fight. O'Malley vs Dillashaw would be crazy too.
Dariush vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, TKO, R2
Gamrot hits like a truck. Dariush is so overrated and has slow movements. Gamrot makes this look easier than we think.
Chookagian vs. Fiorot
Manon Fiorot, DEC
I was close to picking Katlyn because we could see her go for takedowns but she's probably not gonna do that. Fiorot vs Valentina is coming soon. Fiorot is a PROBLEM.
Muhammad vs. Brady
Belal Muhammad, DEC
I want Brady to win but his gas tank is so suspect. Belal is boring but he's elite. He's a beast and will show that once again here.
Muradov vs. Borralho
Caio Borralho, SUB, R2
I'm not sleeping on Muradov but Gerald ruined this guys hype. Caio gonna win by submission but it's gonna be extremely close the striking until Muradov gasses out.
Oezdemir vs. Krylov
Nikita Krylov, TKO, R2
We haven't seen a Krylov knockout in some time....
Tukhugov vs. Almeida
Zubaira Tukhugov, DEC
Another fight where we may see lay and pray. Tukhugov makes fights boring but can't really complain when it gets the job done. Hoping Almeida finishes him.
Nurmagomedov vs. Omargadzhiev
Abubakar Nurmagomedov, DEC
Abubakar will just go for repetitive takedowns and make it a lay and pray fight most likely. He's overrated af if we're being honest. Gadzhi is a better fighter but looked awful in his last outing.
Petrosyan vs. Dobson
AJ Dobson, DEC
If Dobson wants to wrestle, he can get takedowns with ease because Armen can't stop one to save his life. With that being said, both guys will probably stand and bang until Dobson is hurt/wobbled and then he will just win rounds with takedowns. AJ has power but Petrosyan is no joke on the feet. .
Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R1
Gordon is a great person but man he's gonna get finished here. I'll be rooting for him 100% though.
Länsberg vs. Rosa
Karol Rosa, DEC
Rosa SHOULD win this fight with ease but I wouldn't be shocked if we saw an upset because her TDD is awful.

Islam Makhachev, SUB, R3
It all depends on how islam approach this fight imo. If he's hesitant to engage oliveira on the ground then he's going to get KO'd. But if he's not afraid to engage in the ground then he should win. I just don't see oliveira submitting islam on his back.
Sterling vs. Dillashaw
Aljamain Sterling, SUB
Prime TJ is a terrible matchup for aljo. But there's no reason for me to believe TJ is in his prime anymore.
Yan vs. O'Malley
Petr Yan, DEC
Honestly it all depends on how Yan shows up. If he's going to start slow again then there's a real chance he's going to get outpointed in a close fight.
Dariush vs. Gamrot
Mateusz Gamrot, DEC
gamrot would **** him up.
Mokaev vs. Gordon
Muhammad Mokaev, TKO, R1
No doubt that mokaev is going to win, but i hope he use his striking a little bit more in this fight. Or be more active on the ground.
