I will understand and respect Charles if he says he wants money fight by fighting Conor or Diaz. He deserves money fighting. But if he thinks Makachev is not ready only because Darius' injury, it doesn't make sense.
@@KarmaisMirror but nobody in top 5 wants to fight him, if he fights unranked or lower ranked everyone will have same argument that Islam hasn't beaten anyone. Poor islam
islam is boring theirs no money behind him just another khabib wannabe let charles have his money fight he deserves it after beating chandler, dustin, and gaethje all in one years span. islam is trash
@Le Parfum BDC They are all ducking him as you can see. No top 5 want to fight him, is it his fault then? Be sincere instead of being unfair against him.
The same people that are saying Islam hasn’t fought any1 don’t realize that everyone has been avoiding Islam just like Charles is avoiding him right and anyone who was ranked high and accepted has pulled out due to injury (not their fault) besides if Islam has been beating up cans why doesn’t Charles just beat him and show us he doesn’t belong 🤷🏾
He's not avoiding, he's got a point. He can fight Conor not for the belt, also he said that he doesn not chose opponents. Blame the organization that is bullshit. Islam needs to prove himself though, hasn't fought anyone at all. Yeas it is his fault, should fought Don Anjos.

@@seumadruga4041 watched it forever. Wrestled at Oregon State year before Colby. Was an amateur MMA champ and I've trained with some guys in the UFC lol. There's no money division. It's about earning it. We can argue whether Islam should get it or not. There's no legit argument for Conor though. Might as well do Usman vs. Diaz too lol.
@@theanomaly340 huh? There is no money division once again. Oliveira can go fight McGregor for a non-title fight. Heck they can even do an exhibition so it doesn't affect record or rankings. But MMA and sports are based on earning spot. Like I said we can argue about Islam deserving it or not. That's not issue. Issue is Conor has no legitimacy to fight for the title. You're same people who say Diaz should fight for title or face a contender no matter what. K go argue for Diaz to fight Usman. Maybe we can bring in Brock Lesnar and CM Punk to do an MMA tagteam match against Jon Jones and Masvidal.
Why is he playing matchmaker then if he doesn't choose who to fight? Choosing who to avoid? He was ok fighting a guy with 1 fight in the ufc, but wouldn't dare to fight a guy with 2nd most winning streak in his own division for a vacant title. He really is afraid.
Exactly manager Ali also said Oliveira was going to fight Dariush but pulled out 2 weeks before then suddenly fought Ferguson who just lost to Gaethje, Dariush also beat Ferguson like Oliveira did Oliveira surely cherry picking his opponents and wants Islam and Dariush to fight so he doesn't need to fight both Islam also called out Oliveira before even 2019 when he fought Jared Gordon, Oliveira didn't fight Islam in 2019 Islam showed the old tweets on his twitter with a retweet recently

dont worry about his prime, he didnt even fought a top 5 yet and you are worried about his prime.

*Predictions:* When or once Islam beat Charles, Most of Charles recent fans will leave his bandwagon and jump on Islam's next opponents bandwagons: Daruish, Armen...etc.
When pro’s say “he hasn’t fought anyone” majority of them mean it as work perspective, like a pilot who hasn’t got his flight hours in regardless of his skill/level.
Nope they don’t mean that. The truth is Dana is pissed at Khabib for retiring abruptly even though UFC invested in Khabib. So Dana is retaliating by delaying Islam’s rise. That’s what “he hasn’t fought anyone” means

Lol, these same mullhas were hyping Khamzat and called Usman scared and these bums are now doing the same with Charles knowing that Islam ran from RDA like a scored chicken.
@@Dare-Knight He didn't run, there's nothing to run from. RDA is washed out version of himself as a lightweight champ that was defeated by older version Khabib with lots of injuiries. Islam is a better grappler and wrestler than Khabib. Islam said he had certain conditions and UFC as it always does made him guilty for not just agreeing to all of their conditions. But he has disclosed what were the conditions. Maybe money. And somehow we weren't planning on that but we already made him guilty for something he wasn't supposed to either way. Other bums like you consider talk about Islam and Khamzat somehow equal in stuidity. Islam with stronger opponents from top 5 has one rounder with submissions. Khamzat slows down with the growth of quality opponents. How's that equal?
I agree when you are a champ you must make weight. Many people are saying that the scale was broken but I know how they take care of the scale even in amateur fights…

@@adeebh.s1915 Here's the thing though. Oliveira is not the champ right now so he doesn't have the luxury to pick and choose who gets to face him anymore. He's a contender like anyone else, albeit the number 1 contender. If he wanted that title back as quickly as possible he would not hesitate to accept a bout against Islam, unless he isn't sure that's a fight he can win. He does come off as being a little scared here because why would he avoid someone he thinks is "unproven" when that guy is his quickest path back to becoming the champ. Because there is no one else right now who is deserving or available to fight for the vacant belt.
What are you on about? The Dagestanis are the boxers of MMA. They all have the most outrageous padded records. Khabib was already 20-0 before joining the UFC. Before joining UFC he was beating up tomato cans in his father's promotion. He went 9-0 in the UFC beating 5 people you would consider good wins. His first four fights was against people not even ranked. Put some respect on the peoples names that actually deserve it like Max holloway and Charles who grew up in the UFC. They went from boys to men fighting the best of the best in the world.
@@apple.3947 You did say this nonsense tho "People like Khabib cause he dominated every opponent. They like he's style,performance,character. You can't take that away from him.

To me it sounds like he is saying that he's worked hard to get the belt so it shouldn't get snatched off him that quick, he wants to spend more time with the belt before facing the possibility of losing it. Charles should believe in himself more and fight Makhachev.
No, he is saing that its not fair that he got to spend a lot of time doing many fights to get the chence to win the belt while the other one can have it just because he is friend of someone. Do you get it? I am brazilian, so i speak portuguese very well.

Crazy how Charles is making these what they seem like "logical sense" opinions about Islam just to fight Conor and Nate while avoiding calling out Islam and Dariush as hard as he can, I like Charles but it seems like he's intimidated by the like of Khabib, Islam, Dariush... etc.
He has to make money bro he isn’t intimidated he just wants to make easy money and Conor does the job. Imagine you’re him you can fight someone who is on a losing streak and get loads of money 💰 or fight tough fighter where the odds are 50/50 and the fighter has an Arab first name and a Russian last name for the fraction of the money.
Yeah bro. The greatest finisher of UFC history is threatened by Islam and Dariush. Charles is the best grappler in UFC rn and Islam fought a bunch of nobodies. Chill
Bruh no one's scared of Dariush his best win was a battered tony ferguson and I think the Islam fight will be a stand up fight cause usually when good grapplers fight other good grapplers they tend to stand and bang (examples: both the usman and Colby fights and Khamzat vs Gilbert)
dariush is still injured.. it will take him 2 months more to heal completely... dariush said himself... it's not islam's fault that dariush got injured... and charles does not have the belt now, he needs an opponent to recapture the belt, who else is there except islam? it's simple as that.. it seems like charles feels actually threatened by islam, because he knows if he loses, he won't get any money fights, that's why he wants the money fight before facing islam..
What has Islam done to deserve Title shot? Topmost ranked opponent he beat is Dan Hooker who is No. 7. How can u say u deserve Title shot by beating Dan Hooker? His 11 fight streak is against low ranked guys. Giving makhachev a title shot is No. 1 Bullshit !!
Exectly that's why Charles know he will loose for sure he want to fight Conor for payday but I don't think it will happen Conor condition is not ready..
Charles knows he'll get mauled and dominated so he is trying to put off the inevitable... anyways eventually you will have to deal with Islam and eventually you will be beat badly by Islam so go ahead call your looser nate and Conor like they deserve any top opponents.. Charles you disappoint me.
Why are you speaking as if you have a stake in this fight? So emotionally invested, so fragile. He doesn't have to care about people like you because people like you only remember a persons last performance. Short term memory fans amuse me.
Chill, he said that he will fight if Dana makes it happen. His opinion is that he should fight some top 5 first (to deserve it), but he would fight regardless.

Cody Garbrandt didn't fight a single top 5 opponent before his title shot against Dominick Cruz, with his only ranked opponents being #11 Almeida and #7 Mizugaki. Also, before TJ Dillashaw's first title shot, he had beaten #7 Mike Easton after losing to #5 Raphael Assuncao Yes he was Bellator champ, but before coming to the UFC, Michael Chandler only needed to beat #6 Dan Hooker before a title fight. Wilson Reis lost to #5 Jussier Formiga before wins over #9 dustin ortiz and two unranked guys before facing DJ for the belt. Dominick Reyes beat a #7 OSP, a #6 Oezdemir and Chris Weidman, who was only #8 in a completely different weight class, on his way to a title shot against Jon Jones. Even though it was for the interim and not the undisputed belt, Izzy got his shot with a win over #15 Anderson Silva and #6 Derek Brunson. And although he was only a very short-notice replacement, technically you can count Raging Al as well. GSP got Title shot after 4 Fights. There's probably a few more but my point is that there's been a few fighters that have received a title fight despite not having beaten a top 5 fighter, Islam wouldn't be the first and in the exceptional circumstances that the LW division finds itself in, you'd be hard pressed to find a reason not to give him a shot.
Charles is the champion, he decides how it goes. These Muslims want to fight for "legacy" by defending a false humility. if this islam guy wants the belt he will have to go through what charles went through, so at the end of the day he asks charles what he wants so much: "Charles, please finish me".
Charles vs Islam in Brazil in October has to happen man. It’s such a sexy matchup from so many angles. I really hope the UFC just makes the fight before one of them loses or gets injured and we don’t end up getting it like Tony Khabib.
When you don't choose to fight Conor, then you should not choose who should fight who. Since Dariush is injured Olivera should man-up and take the fight against Makachev for the vacant title.

@BRANDEDSTUFF no, just accept a fight with arguably his only real competition in the division. him beating islam in my opinion would make him undisputed because he can also win against a world class grappler instead of only choking out one dimensional strikers.
Aí está alguém que de fato não tem noção de leitura do Charles. Se tem uma coisa que Charles não tem medo, é de luta ou lutadores. O Islã nunca sequer lutou contra um ranqueado. Já quer lutar pelo cinturão?
He is just afraid to face against Mahachev his excuses towards Islam are absurd.How can he fight against Dariush if he already refused to fight.Just the whole lightweight division are scared to fight against Islam.It is obvious
Olievera : Islam is not a deserving contender. he still need to fight Benny Also olives : I wanna fight Conor 🗣️ ..... He wants payday and he's afraid of Islam
Translation "Brazilian guy is not afraid of those Russian fighters but Irish guy will be much easier fight for me, no ground game and he is no Tyson Fury, no worries"
"Islam hasn't fought anyone in the top 5" Argument: Although this statement without context is true, it does not say that a fighter has more or less capabilities. In todays and earlier UFC fights, we can clearly see that lower ranked opponents are beating higher ranked opponents (in some cases without any problem) like Tai Tuivasa vs Derrick Lewis or Aspinall vs Volkov. So I have proven that ranking is NO indice in terms of fighter capabilities, which means that Islam is (probably) the real deal against Oliveira. The second argument for this statement is, when you look at the history of Islam, he was going to fight Dariush (2x) and RDA (2x). Both have withdrawn. Also if you look at opponents he fought (regardless of ranking, as ranking is NO indice in UFC in terms of fighter capabilities) you can clearly see Islam faced elite fighters. All fighters in UFC are in UFC for a reason, because they are the best in the world. Man should not act like Islam is fighting a nobody, it's just Islam is levels higher. Right now, the most just and reasonable fight to make is Islam vs Charles, there is no one in the row? Who is going to fight for the title? Charles is not even champion, he is contender now. Islam offers all posibilities, even fighting in Brazil yet he is rejected. Suspicous? Even Joe Rogan said leave Dariush (meaning this guy is waiting too long) and just put Islam vs Charles.
Well, there is a way to shut that argument up once and for all, if he just fought one of them already instead of spending months and months campaigning and trying to bitch himself into that titleshot. Just saying.
Charles is an underdog against Islam. If Charles had any self respect he’d wanna prove the doubters wrong. But he himself doesn’t believe he can beat Islam so he’s trying to prolong his win streak by ducking Islam. Completely understandable but it’ll ruin his legacy if he keeps on ducking.
hes not ducking shit dariush and makhachev was supposed to happen then islam got an easy win over bobby who couldnt wrestle for his life and now hes just supposed to get a title shot ? 0 fuckin braincells
Its not even first he does this Islam wanted fight Oliveira in 2019 then Oliveira fought Jared Gordon instead Islam retweeted old tweets that shows he called out Oliveira in 2019
This fool literally called McGregor, I had so much respect for him. But really lost me today. This guy didn't even acknowledge Islam the real contender, instead he wants a washed up Conor. Guess he's really scared of losing the belt and the limelight he's getting and is only worried about money.
Yeah Khabib even said they will fight him in Brazil, but that still cannot make Charles to accept the fight with Islam. Even Dariush called Charles out for ducking him twice! Now we know Islam and Dariush are two big contenders that possibly can beat him.
@@spooka108 U really think people wanna see Olivera have an easy matchup to become champion or fight an harder opponent like Islam and get his skills tested?
@@marcusmiddltn_ Olivera earned himself the title by beating top contenders. He climbed to the title by beating more top contenders than Islam. There's no need to prove Charles's skills, he has beaten Chandler, Dustin, Justin and many more top contenders. If anything, it is Islam's job to prove that he has skills. Islam's just being whiny that he doesn't get a title shot after beating 1 washed top contender and an unranked guy.
Well the thing is Oliveira can't tell others to fight others that's UFC's job, you also lost 8 times Islam lost only 1 time of course you need to work harder to compensate those losses its not like they disappear. And Islam signed contract to fight RDA and Dariush they pulled out Islam finished the replacement fighters easily Islam did his job its not his problem or should be punished for his opponents pulling out then whats the point for fighting replacements? He shouldn't fight and finish them if there was no point. Islam already fought 2 main events and no.6 ranked Dan Hooker at the time Oliveira had only 8 win streak and 8 losses before getting title shot Islam has 10 win streak and only 1 loss.
