I said his opponents had to do a sooner turnaround than Islam, not short notice.What are you referring to in terms to Oliveira? He never had to do a quick turnaround in regards to either scheduled fight vs Islam.
Oliveira beat Gaethje in less than a round and was booked to fight vs Islam 5+ months later.
Then for the rematch Oliveira beat Dariush in less than a round and was booked to fight Islam 4+ months later.
"Tough fights" Huh? Maybe on paper but Oliveira barely got hit in those fights.
In Islam/Charles 1 Islam fought in February while Charles fought in May. Islam had 3 more months recovery and training than Charles.
In Islam/Charles 2 Islam once again fought in February and Charles fought in June. Islam had 4 more months recovery training than Charles.
Both of these timelines were completely set by Islam sitting out waiting for the Abu Dhabi cards in October. Islam always gets to know when and where he's fighting while his opponent has to turnaround for Islam's timeline.
