GDT: UFC 274: Oliveira vs Gaethje/PFL 3/Bellator 280: Bader vs Kongo 2

[crazychimp]

I hope so.

Oliviera irks me.

Not sure what irks you dude finished Chandler, Poirer and now Gaethje his story is pretty insane considering where he came from. I do believe Islam can beat him though.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Meh, he is fighting for the title next. Dude is still on a crazy ass run and nobody is going to remember the weight miss as long as he makes it happen next fight.

I love Charles. I absolutely hate when fighters miss weight. Severely disappointed but yes if he take on Islam or Dariush and make weight I'm back on board.

I like him as a fighter and he seems like a great person. I hate that he’s missed weight 4 times.

Missing weight 5 times will do that to a lot of people

Not his fighting skills.

His demeanor and personality. And his god awful tattoos don't help. He just annoys me.

Olivera was ready for Justin's leg kicks, and every time Gatheje got close enough to land one, Charles tagged him with a right hand. Made him pay dearly.

 

[CDJ]

Canelo lost too, damn

 

[Chaels Arms]

The smartest part of Chandler's callout of McGregor is he specified he'll do it at 170. Conor's never fighting at 155 again.

Khabib would have smashed the shit out of him

Meh, dude didn't even make weight when he finished Justin. Check the video. lol.

 

[MMC]

Think you gotta do Oliveira vs Islam for the vacant title now and then Chandler and Beneil

 

[pistolpete11]

I think Khabib beats Oliveira. Khabib is too smart and too calculated to get dragged into the chaos of Oliveira.

.....but it would be a fascinating fight. The dude can crack, hurt Gaethje, Poirier, and Chandler on the feet, and has the most submissions in the UFC.

In a world where the "Damage" tattoo exists, I can't really trash anything else as awful. That is a tier all unto itself, haha.

What does missing weight have to do with the actual matchup?

If Charles had Khabib's weigh in official he makes weight with ease. Everyone forgets how obvious his missed weight was.

Yep. It obviously is just me wanting to see greats fight more. But it does suck to look back to Khabib's career and see how relatively inactive he was. It would have been nice to see him fight a few more top level guys before hanging it up.

But I think that is just latent wishing he had fought Ferguson before Ferguson fell apart.

Missing weight has literally everything to do with everything LOL

Any combination of Dariush, Poirier, Chandler, and Gaethje would work. Probably a little too soon to see Gaethje-Chandler again, but I wouldn't complain about it.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Both Oliveira and Khabib have had weight issues, so it's more or less an equal problem for both of them

Well UFC said if Charles won he becomes number one contender and gets next title shot. It really comes down to Dariush's injury. After Islam (or Ali) open his mouth like a fool and said he would take the RDA fight and save the fight night but then backed out, Dana said he would need to fight Dairush to lock up a title shot:

Dana White: Islam Makhachev ‘turned down’ Rafael dos Anjos fight, now he has to face Beneil Dariush next

UFC president Dana White says Islam Makhachev turned down a short-notice fight against Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 272 and as a result he’ll have to face Beneil Dariush next rather than receive an immediate title shot.

Butttttt Dariush is injured which is why their original fight got canceled so who knows when that will happen.

 

[Incognito]

I'd love to see Khabib come back to face Oliveira, but would he even be interested? Does he see him as enough of a challenge to even bother coming out of retirement for? I feel like Khabib knows that he'd smash Charles, just like he smashed all of his other opponents.

 

[MMC]

Might just be a huge Chandler fan but I honestly think he’d be an interesting matchup for Khabib

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I think Oliveira is a bigger problem for Khabib, but Chandler’s power and explosiveness could also be a problem pound for pound the guy is easily one of the strongest guys in the UFC. He’s an animal

 

[Chaels Arms]

It'd be nice to see Fiziev work himself into that top tier in the LW division.

It'll probably never happen but Fiziev v. Chandler would be an awesome fight.

 

[CDJ]

Chandler and Fialho got POTN

Schnell-Royval got FOTN

 

[MMC]

Screw it, it's almost 4 in the f***ing morning and I can't sleep, let's see this Rose fight
