Conor’s in the weirdest situation in that he gets to choose who he’s gonna get killed by.

half rooting for him to get the next shot vs Oliveira. sure he doesn't deserve it, but that fight will 100% be fun.

I'm fascinated to see who wins between Olives vs Islam, but there's a much bigger chance of that fight being boring, if Islam just takes top control and keeps it.

Gaethje was headhunting too much. I don't think he expected Charles to hurt him like he did. Gaethje thought he was in a dog fight and he got strangled.

yeah in retrospect he should have been more patient. keep chipping away with the leg kicks, and you've got to imagine Oliveira fades as it goes on.

Even if he gets top control wouldnt it still be suspenseful because of Charles off his back BJJ?

possibly. that's the interesting part to find out. but we've also seen stud submission artists fully dominated by stud wrestlers with great top control.

Those leg kicks he throws are nasty and he connected on the two he threw, but one of em he count a return shot that rocked him. Then he bit down on his mouthpiece and went back to the Justin of old.

Gaethje fights stupid. I still consider Charles the champ ofc but no way they let Islam get the title shot after beating Bobby Green. Conor is more likely than Islam. 
 

Beneil vs Islam will happen before Charles Islam. 

Connor should not get a title shot... his last two fights were losses to Dustin Poirier.

If Dana does that, the spot takes a legitimacy hit.

He doesn't care that's  what you don't understand

Islam sat in Davi Ramos' guard for 2+ rounds and Charles got GnP'd by Paul Felder. 

There is nothing that suggests to me that Oliveira stands a chance off his back. He needs to use his striking (like every Islam opponent), imo.
