Realistically, who is able to beat Charlie Olives?

[7 others]

0-2 vs. Dustin

I don't get you..?

 

[Pious Augustus]

No, It’s really that far off. Holloway hasn’t beaten one notable opponent at LW but he’s gonna come in and dust off the champion who just had 2 incredible finishes over elite fighters. One of those guys Max lost to

not happening

Holloway already beat Oliveira lol

 

[The Legendary Scarface]

His biggest flaw is his boxing defense so I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Gaethje clips and finishes him early but aside from that I don't really see any other way they win. And yes, Charles should still be favored over Justin.

 

[JAL]

Yeah a guy who hasn’t beaten anyone notable at LW and got beaten up by the guy Charles just finished in under 3 rounds is gonna be Oliveras Kryptonite.


some hot take

Max literally has a win over Charles tho lol

 

[Jitter]

He has been knocked down alot. Chandler was very close to winning, Dustin knocked him down, and Justin his very hard. Justin can definitely won. The obvious key to anyone is to not get taken down

 

[Danas_right]

I feel justin is the toughest style match up

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

1. Makhachev (#4)/Dariush (#3) Winner
2. Arman Tsarukyan (#13); Demonstrated serious knockout power in his last fight and would be very difficult to submit due to his own grappling.
3. Joel Alvarez #15; Demonstrated serious knockout power in his last fight and is himself a submission artist.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Charles is an amazing talent but he's getting tagged hard in first rounds. Benny, Islam, Justin, Chandler, Fizev and yes...even dustin and McGregor can beat Charles.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Islam I would say is the person that is gonna dethrone Charles

 

[Argonaut]

Beneil and Islam are Oliveira's toughest matchups.

They are skilled enough on the ground to pose a threat, there's no gaurentee they can finish, but I do not see Oliveira completely dominating on ground or getting dominated.

Striking i see Oliveira having the edge with both but seeing how much damage he absorbs on the feet, Beneil would have a better chance with his heavy hands.

Gaethje, could also put Oliveira away, but as the fight wears on I see Oliveira taking over and getting the sub

Because he lost to Dustin that means he must lose to Oli as well? Oli as in the guy he finished already within a round . . .

 

[JKS]

Holloway already beat Oliveira lol

He did?? When?? I think you're confused

 

[The Renegade]

Gaethje. I want to see what Charles does when his opponent doesn't fade.

Wasn’t even a real win lol at Max celebration after that injury. And lol at you for bringing that fight up and not even watching it. Meanwhile max still fighting midgets at 145 and losing while Charles the 155 champion.

Justin will get put to sleep like Khabib did to him.

You Two clowns need to rewatch the fight it was an injury not a real win.

 

[Oz.Pride]

4 pages and nobody has mentioned this beast?

Shame on you Sherbros.

 

[Area809]

I think Islam can suffocate his BJJ and it would be 50/50 against Justin. I’m not encouraged by the fact that he gets dropped. I think he’s a beatable champ.

 

[Paladin]

Max Holloway ain’t beating shit at LW


Islam, Justin, and Fiziev (in the future) could potentially all be really tough fights for Charles

Justin is a real threat due to his thunderous punching power and crippling leg kicks.. but I think he will struggle on the ground vs Charles
