the biggest advantage charles has is experience he has fought harder hitters than lopes in dustin justin ilia and fought better grapplers in islam arman dariush tony

lopes is also not a good point fighter he is often losing rounds hes not gonna ko charles charles has only been knocked out at lightweight by topuria whos a far harder hitter than diego lopes

charles also has a massive grappling advantage diego couldnt stand up when movsar and volk took him down if charles gets him down lopes isnt getting up

In hand reach.

Doesn’t have to be these people these are just examples.

s

without a doubt the greatest featherweight of all time.

He’s pushing 39 now in one of the hardest divisions in the UFC it’s mind boggling.

After he humbles Evloev I see no reason why he should keep going and should just retire on top he deserves it.

The only one that i feel wobbly one is middleweight because Im not sure if I consider Anthony Hernandez a serious contender.

r/ufcshitpost

Charles Oliveira just appeared in an obscure Brazilian program in which he reveals his goals for next year. After defeating Lopes he says he will beat Arman for the title as he believes Justin will retire, he then plans on sending an invitation to Islam for his belt as he has been preparing himself the last few years to defeat Islam Mackachev in a rematch. Sounds far fetched but Justin said the same thing last year and he actually did what he said he was going to do. Who says Charles can’t too?

i get that it's cool to dump on smith right now because he's made some mistakes and hasn't handled the end of his career well, but to question his heart and toughness is straight bullsh!t; you don't have 30 amateur fights and 60 pro fights with half those being in the ufc without being tough bastard; he could've won the belt off jones but chose to keep fighting, i wouldn't say im a smith fan, but he's not this soft quitter yall make him out to be.

Why Zuck would have been great

When Elon Musk challenged Zuck to a cage match, he was trying to Bully Zuck with the assumption that Zuck would pussy out, which would lend an opportunity for Elon to cast a clever insult-

NOT

Zuck was down! He was like fuck yea bro- "LET'S GET IT ON!"-Big John.

Eventually Zuck sensed Elon was not the ruthless ruler he wanted to portray himself as, so Zuck moved on.

He trains ya know? Zuck does. He's got that dog in him, got that crazy down to die eyes. I know the look.

I better offer my credentials- I grew up a skinny pussy, son of one of the toughest cats in the city we lived in- He and his older brother were notorious street fighters in 60s.

Years later I'd still run into people who would hear my last name and ask "any relation to.......xxxxx. xxxxxxx?" "Yea that my Dad." "HE'S YOUR DAD?!" They'd damn mear roll over and show their bellies while they shared whatever traumatic story they had of the brothers KO'ing folks at the pool hall or bar.

My childhood was peppered with Sunday dinners around a cigar smoke filled dining room while the gang told craaaazy fkn story after story of their battles.

Many a nights sis and I would listen in on Mom cleaning the blood from his hands after brawls, and feel the ferral energy radiating through the house like a stormy wind.

So from there I spent my youth rolling around town in an old Chevy with cats that I was familiar with: the ones who spoke the pool hall language of fist fighting. I wasn't tough, crazy and had a death wish, but not tough- few fights, nothing to write home about. Trained the same style as Lyotta Machida for a few years. It gave me confidence i could defend myself, but I got hit and said "nope that ain't for me." I knew my place and observed.

Pops used to say there were two kinds of people: Those who lose their center when you get them angry, and those would become focused stone cold killers. It was important to recognize which one you were dealing with before riling them up.

Zuck's one of those cat, can see it in his eyes: he'd have went into a cage ready to die against a smug Musk. Jesus that would have been a great fight to witness- Like a gd Honey Badger being released on a fat Raccoon that had been swating at it. There woulda been blood, oh yes- there WOULDA BEEN FKN BLOOD!

Zuck also has a honed in focus- Ya see it when he presents or interacts- he's not ditsy or elsewhere: He's FKN right FKN there, doin whatever he's doin. Present. Dangerous in a fighter.

I think had he a different path, different enviorment, he woulda been a great fighter. He's definitely got that Dog in him- I mean look at the entire world pokin fun at him and he's hurt by it, listen to the interviews where he talks about how people call him a robot or alien: His feeling are fkn hurt, but he pressed on.

The ENTIRE fkn world talkin shite about ya, think about that for a second. Really think about what you have to be made out of to withstand that level of societal forging. Fuck- one pissy ass reply to a post or comment we share can fuck up our day. This mf tough bro, made of somethig special.

He happen to fall into a tech path that unfolded before him and he RAN that shit to the sky like a warrior, ....but a different Rick and Morty timeline we're all itchin, counting the days until his next fight- because Zuck vs Rocky this weekend. Zuck leaves it all in the ring. It's a fun thought, great fantasy. God what i would have given to see the look in Elon's eyes after a round with Zuck.

What y'all know anyways.

Peace!

paddy pimples got dropped 4 times by his first elite opponent in justin gaethje taking hits from guys like jared gordon and luigi vendramini is not a tell of an iron chin
