Come on chael ik you knew this how it go I been fan since the beginning and ik you had knowore than me. Besides being really good. The wrestler always going win as long as he's bigger and stronger and it's obvious Islam is stronger and bigger just by looking at him . You yourself tried to do wvr it takes and these guys figured something out that no one else knows are does. Even if it's considered cheating I won't bc I understand the game. Fair game . I just don't like them for personal reasons the same way thier fans don't like us .
We all seen something in Charles that people blocked out. Charles almost lost his last fights with strikers, plus he had a lot of losses in past. So he had quit in him. He just needed the right guy to make him quit. Islam succeeded easy. We knew it would happen like that. I am disappointed in all the pro who didn’t see it and picked Charles. They underestimated Islam. How could they underestimate a guy who trained with the absolute best like Khabib. Islam and Khabib have trained 1000 times. I picked Islam 1000 times over Charles. Easy pick.
Charles landed an upkick at the end of the first round that almost put Islam away. That upkick almost stopped Islam and would’ve stopped a lot of opponents.
In every single interview he mentioned that all opponents of Olivera knock him down but are scared to follow him to the ground but he not gonna do the mistake. And I and I’m sure many others was thinking yeah Islam we know you not scared but how do you gonna knock him down first place? And now he literally did it.
thats the same thing ive been saying , felder a striker went there and koed him , gaejte looked for the big ko and then got kneed to death instead of going to the ground same with chandler
Can everyone agree now that Khabib didn't run away and would've destroyed Charles & Tony too. "Toughest stylistic matchup" my *ss. These guys aren't even close to Khabibs level. His little bro wrecks them, lol. Khabibs legend status gets stronger as time goes on.
There was never any legitimate reason to ask that question, Islam clearly has better striking than Oliviera. Anyone who has carefully watched their fights knew Islam is on a different level ,including his striking, him proving it beyond doubt today was totally expected.
@@fleshpitdm I pick every fight correctly except for the Yan fight. I deposite $100 into draftking yesterday but found out I could not bet because its illegal in my state. I could had double my money, fock anti gambling laws.
@@johnnyb7117 khabib is more carefull fighter than Islam and khabib won't let charles caught him and khabib is more technical fighter than Islam and that's the reason khabib can easily beat Charles if they fight
Khabib loss only one round in competition. In all their life lifehood as partners, Islam is the only one to get one round from Khabib. Khabib is on a different level
Every PRO was picking Charles. Chael and Firas Zahabi picked Islam...a lot of them even threw shade and said Islam dont deserve; like aljo, Bryce, Brendan etc.
I remember Khabib telling Chael "Islam is gonna ride him like his horse and how can you say you have ground game when you tap 8 times" I remember that, and KHABIB TOLD CHAEL TO save this video and watch it back. Chaels team should repost this.
Literally yesterday people were talking about Charles possibly being the LW division's GOAT. Islam ran right through him and made it look easy. No contest. Not even competitive. Islam is a bad man and what's really scary is that he seems to get bigger and better every time he fights.
Everyones got amnesia when it came to KHABIB. The most dominant fighter in history of MMA. I think Islam beating Charles reminded everyone of that. #30-0
For the few figures in the MMA community that said Islam would win, thank you Chael for looking past religion and calling Makhachev to win. It a big career defining moment for him. Chael SONNEN is a badass, real American, best on the mic.
I believe there was just an awe that everyone felt when Charles made comebacks in all 3 of those fights. He was seriously hurt and had the grit to come back and win. Olivera showed us That you can re-write the narrative in your life
💯 facts man exactly what I said most fighters had olivera I was like how do they not see who’s game is more dominant. It’s almost like if you can visualize how the fight was going to play out!
@@FranciscoRodriguez-kd7mf most people calculate the best MMA fighter as the fighter with the most dominant striking and Bjj game and completely negate the most important aspect of MMA, MIXING! Mixing in strikes b4 takedowns mixing in strikes on the ground b4 submissions mixing judo and Greco n the clench, striking then clinching, Sambo practitioners have the advantage of Seamlessly mixing techniques.. that's why they dominate MIXED martial arts.. I'm dumbfounded as to how Islam was underestimated
The reality is many mma fans are in reality fans of the story. Look at them flock fighters like gustaffson , hooker and oliveira. They care too much about "oh hes so likeable, oh hes so humble, oh he came from poberty". I and many others have been saying the same, that Oliveira gets hit too much, and if gaethje or poirier or chandler had pushed when he was downed they would have won. Good for oliveira hes good, but hes not getting near that belt again.
I gotta say I was very impressed with Islam's performance and physique. That man was in 100% ready to go condition. He had a great game plan and his striking was sharper than ever. And I think Charles recognized it very quickly and was slightly intimidated. Just enough to take Charley off his game. Good job Islam.....
I think the key was the grappling strength of Islam. Charles has been dropped multiple times in last few fights, but opponent couldn’t take advantage. Islam dropped him, then turned into a python and ended it.
@@shannond9945 Well I don't think anybody expected Islam's striking to be as good as it was. You could see the look on Charles's face, and his demeanor change as soon as Islam started tagging Charles a couple times. Islam was fast and accurate. His defense was better than ever. When you look at any of his previous fights, he never looked this sharp and Charlie knew it. It's gonna be very interesting to see how he looks in his next fight. Will he be better? Will he slide back?? I love watching this stuff lol.
It was because Khabib was willing yo spend 1 Million dollars for Islam's training. DC even said that if he won't become a champion with all that expenses during his training then he doesn't deserve to be a champion.
He's finished multiple fights from an arm triangle where he didn't even hop off to the side. Islam's size and power at 155 is crazy. I can't believe he came in 154.5
My respect for you just increased. I actually was thinking of how Oliviera could win this fight against possible the best wrestler to ver grace the UFC. Islam is a beast at another whole level! I don't see any lightweight defeating him in the nearest future.
Charles had one hell of a run. He subbed Gaethje and Poirier, and he definitely deserves the credit he’s been given. No one can take that away from him. Islam was just the better fighter.
@@christopherlaieta1977 I agree. I think even a lot of his biggest supporters knew he’d lose too. It’s why so many people were pushing for him to fight Connor. Give him an easier fight with a giant pay day before he loses the crown
@@christopherlaieta1977 I don't think you can say he " couldn't ever " . It's the fight game and anything could happen at any moment! I will say I would take Islump 8/10 fights tho!
On 90% of gym walls “Iron sharpens iron” Chael: “iron on top of iron, the duller that weapon gets” Proof Uncle Chael has control of the periodic table and natural world
I'm a casual, but I can appreciate Chael and recognize that he has accomplished things no one else has. I watch every piece he puts out even if the title doesn't strike my interest, he's just too interesting to listen to! I have mad respect to Chael, his career is still elevating and that's a rare thing especially in this community. Smart, funny, well spoken and just crushing!
Crazy end result, am I suprised, yes a little bit. Gaetjhe, Chandler and Poirier are no picnic in the park. This just goes to show that hard work, determination and humility goes a long way. Charles much respect to you brother. Islam what a win, you just showed the world that you belonged there and are now the man to beat in the UFC's most stacked division.
Chandler is a overrated midget.He didn't accomplish anything in the UFC. He was talking down Islam like he achieved something. And don't forget all these "tough guys" avoided Islam and tried to frame it like he didn't beat anybody. Islam showed he is leagues above. Not he belongs. lol.
I’ve been listening to chael for years, i feel like we all got some bond in this community. I love it and i love uncle chael. Thanks for making every week a little more tolerable 😂
The fight played out exactly as I expected it to. I knew if Charles was going to settle in and fight from his back that he had no chance. Guys like Islam and Khabib love to lay on people and you're basically gifting them the opportunity to do that. It's a recipe for disaster that nobody has been able to stop yet.
Exactly their top control is too dominant and is literally their best attribute . Whoever thinks they have chance fighting off their back are just massively wrong. The only way to beat them is to catch them with great striking which is damn near impossible
Damn bro 😂 dont be like that man u hurt a lot of Charlies fans, no need to requote what khabib says cus they will say Khabib team is arrogant ! Btw cheers mate📈
There was a vid out a year or so ago where Khabib was telling a younger guy on his team that in the early stages of a fight, if you’re on top but can’t break through, and you felt that you could take the guy down easily, to give him room to get up and ride your weight on him… basically he was saying it would really tire out the opponent to give them space to stand but make them carry your weight the entire time… do that a few times and the guy is dead tired. You can see Khabib do it with Poirier
Let me drop this before I watch to appreciate the Goat chael👊 Islam had tremendous pressure and expectations beyond reasoning but the guy just waved through Charles as if it wasn't supposed to be his hardest fight wow. These guys are built different
can we also talk about that home turf advantage? or how abu dabi pays millions to ufc? or weight advantage? or how 50% of comments under ufc mma videos are fake promo accounts
@Wirelessly Wired Im a fan of Charles still... better man won today, respect to islam. Would like to see a rematch if Charles beats Dariush or loser of VOLK/ISLAM
@@Kremmycakes I would like to see a rematch also. But Charles is going to have to come up with a better strategy. Because his BJJ was completely neutrized and rendered ineffective. He needs to work on massive takedown defense to keep the fight standing. Because Islam is levels better than him on the ground.
Almost like improved eyesight meant he could see the punches coming and freaked out. Maybe poor vision is good....cause you can’t fear what you can’t see.
Much respect uncle Chael, but are you forgetting Anderson vs you the first go. You beat the tar out of him for nearly 5 rounds. However his perseverance and belief in his ground game off his back won the day for him. You definitely won the fighting, but he won the match. Yet we all still hold you in the highest regard.
In every other fight Charles always looked like he could win, had a chance. Today was different, on every metric he looked second best. Islam looked quicker, better striking, stronger, better game plan, take downs, stamina. This is a problem as Charles showed little in return. Islam at no point looked threatened.
can we also talk about that home turf advantage? or how abu dabi pays millions to ufc? or weight advantage? or how 50% of comments under ufc mma videos are fake promo accounts
@@GamingDualities correct! Charles has gotten dropped numerous times and prior to this no one looked to get the sub because of his ground skills. This guy did and unfortunately for Charles, he lost.
@@GamingDualities I don’t understand this argument of “home turf” for Islam. Didn’t Charles defend his title in the US against Gaethje and Poirier? That’s home turf for them and they were the challengers then as well. The UFC has a contract with Abu Dhabi - at the end of the day, it’s a business, and a business is there to make money. There was no weight advantage? They both hit the scales on the same weight. How they choose to go in to the fight, wether lighter or heavier, is their choice. This has always been a part of the sport.
@@GamingDualities Man they could have fought in Brazil under "Vale Tudo" rules with the Gracies in his corner, and with no Russians being allowed in the building and it wouldn't have mattered one bit lol. Love Charles but he was easily dismantled by just a more skilled, more athletic, stronger, faster opponent in every way possible in this fight. Khabib knew what he was witnessing with his protege the entire time and tried to tell everybody what was gonna happen but many people just didn't believe him 🤷
Why are Dagestani fans the most sore winners of all time? You claim to love khabib and Islam for their respectable life and morals yet you parade around being as toxic as possible. You shameless people disrespect charles the whole build up and now that he lost and took it graciously you only become more disrespectful. It's no wonder everyone wants then to lose, you people are so in sufferable about it.
Chael is a goldmine for fans. Hes the best at the general breakdowns of current matchups and fight cards and such, but also he has tons of great stories and inside perspective of the rest of the mma culture outside the cage
@@CoolAdam247 you’re the bum casual lmao obviously you should change your striking against ISLAM and not do the same stuff you would against Gaethje or Porier
Congrats Chael, your pick (which was almost against everyone's pick) along with the explanation you put forward behind your pick was on point. I can't believe people were debating how Oliveira could even beat Khabib.
@@jayslice4371 almost all MMA fighters (90%) + MMA YT channels + Chael's followers on this channel picked Oliveira. Chael's own followers had a meltdown when Chael picked Makhachev. It was one of those trends that you have to loudly support something or get canceled type of a moment.
@@h77-n3l we must be seeing different trends. Sure I saw people chose olivera but to say 90% of mma fighters chose Olivera? Come on guy you’re just throwing out numbers. I saw plenty chose Islam as well. As for the comments section on YT. The Muslim community is huge in the mma community and they are very loyal to the Muslim fighters so I saw more people choosing Islam than Charles but I guess you see what you want to see
In an age of mma where fighters try to score points over rounds to eek out a decision charles willingness to engage in a firefight and a back and forth war in all of his fights makes it so entertaining to watch and its why the fans have grown to love him so much over these past few years he was bound to lose his title eventually fighting like this especially against a really bad matchup like islam but i respect charles for his style ill always be a fan of his now win or lose
Uncle Chael, you got ufc 280 main event spot on. I think you are a time traveler almost everyone thought the opposite and no one could break down the events that could have happen as accurate as yours. Hats off my man your knowledge and insight to fights are just exceptional. Looking for your next analysis to a figth!😁
Charles may be the "King of Submissions" but you see, hes going against a guy whose name is LITERALLY "SUBMISSION". "You only embrace the darkness. I was BORN IN IT."
It’s true… Both are great fighters but this was an opponent that Charles had who actually had competitive ground game. And not just competitive ground game, the question was who does it better since they both come from strong ground game backgrounds. That’s what people were fighting about and after the fight they started saying ,,you can only grapple” .. They just hate him
Frankly, Islam is an athlete of international level, while "do bronx" is state level in Brazil. UFC still have much of an amateur level. Besides, sambo, proved again, is more complete than this brazilian jiu jitsu, mixed lately, already in adult phase, with muay thai.
Charles got smashed that's it!! He put everyone including yourself in their place thinking he was the greatest lightweight of all time. That Charles was above Khabib.......he wasn't & never will be
why are you all so emotional? almost like Islam's giving you part of his purse lol, chill the f out, you'd still get your faced smashed by any of these fighters
My thoughts going into this fight was that Charles didn’t seem too loose going into it. His past few fights he was bouncing around staring his opponent down. When he came out and got into the octagon he didn’t even look at Islam up until the fight started. He definitely seemed off. Meanwhile when Islam came out he was smiling which is something you don’t see often. I told everyone before the fight that Islam will have zero issue taking Charles down but the struggle will begin once they are on the ground. What I didn’t actualize was Islam beating Charles standing up. Combine Islams decent stand up game with his grossly strong ground game and no amount of Jiu Jitsu could have beat that. Islams Sambo outclassed Charles on every level and Islams Dagestani wrestling crushed Charles. One thing people don’t talk about is Islams unique submissions. Typically you would see triangle chokes, rear naked chokes, and such in the UFC but if you look back on Islams submissions he has some crazy submissions. The champ has a name and it’s Islam Makhachev.
That submission immediately reminds me of Islam vs Drew Dober, some people were saying that submission would not work but Islam just use a brute force to make Drew Dober tap. I'm surprised Charles tap so fast.
Charles and a lot of experts were prisoners of the moment. They never took a step to look at the skillsets of Charles's last three opponents. In any other sport, you look at what the team you facing does best and its tendencies. The reality is that compared to Charles's last three opponents, Islam statistically has better defense and takedowns and does not waste strikes. The experts got caught up in names and excitement. Hopefully, now they look at the attributes just as much as the names because Islam walked through who the media was calling the goat less than 48 hours ago.
Charles lost because he was battered on the feet. People will talk about the ground but, he only lost on the ground (at that point) because of being damaged on the feet. If not for having took that damage, he would have remained competitive on the ground for much longer. His lack of head movement finally caught up to him
I think after the first round, it was clear to everyone (Oliveira included) that the only way Oliveira could win would be on his feet. He had nothing for Islam on the ground and got absolutely dominated in the first round. Second round, Islam showed him that he also had nothing for him on his feet.
No, Charles took damage with Chandler, Poirier & Gaehtje but he win anyway. Charles lost because Islam is willing to go down with Charles & able to dominate Charles on the ground. Chandler wasnt able to dominate. I wouldnt call being suffocated on the ground as being competitive. After the 1st round Charles simply doesnt want to be on the ground with Islam. Charles did a good job defending the TD in the 2nd round, he doesnt want to go down again.
What made olivera lose, was his Greed for a knock out...Look at all his exchanges on the feet...Only throwing POWER ENDING punches...To make it worse ,Islam was fast ,quick outta there ...threw the game plan out, telegraphing every shot ,no set ups, no headmovement ,. And Islam took advantage.....btw, IAM a BIG OLIVERA FAN.
Charles lost because he found someone who was a better grappler than he was and couldn't win via submission. His record submission wins were nullified by a Sambo fighter who knows his stuff. Striking wise, Charles relied on power, but never proven to have overall technique. This is exactly is the issue is that people view stats like "most submissions in UFC history" to judge how good a grappler is. Such stats don't prove much because they are many levels to grappling in competition. The stat itself is used more like a highlight reel type of stat. It is like showing KO highlights. Highlights don't contextualize the skill level. At least it is not presented that way. Even Islam was making note of this in conversations about Brazilian Jiujitsu blackbelts and how overrated the black belt is. This is true, in martial arts a black belt is not even considered a level of someone's true skill, they just mastered the techniques to become a black belt, it is not a measure of overall grappling skill. After you receive a black belt, you are just beginning to put all the pieces together to learn effectively. Fighters like Islam or Khabib are not afraid of Brazilian Jiujitsu blackbelts. Islam's camp said straight up, if Charles wants to roll, we're gonna roll, and not only that, Islam will take him down. The truth is, both Islam, and Khabib are better grapplers than Charles, and that alone removes a huge chunk of the perceived aura. Islam and Khabib have a lifetime of grappling experience. They're the real deal and the most complete grapplers in MMA history. If you knew their mentality, and training, you would not be surprised if they keep winning. A hardcore MMA fan understands styles, strategy, and training regime. Casuals follow stats and highlight reels.
Many of us did. It was an easy one to predict. Casual fans were just hung up on his last finishes and seen top pros picking Charles. They were easily fooled. Charles has holes in his game and Khabib seen it. Everyone got mad at Khabib for saying it and disrespecting Charles. Khabib was being honest.
@@mrmoonlight1001 I don’t see how that’s relevant to what I said whatsoever. If the fighter you pick is the favorite, then it’s not some super courageous pick. That’s all I was saying and you literally cannot argue against that.
Chael, you crack me up bro! You were so up Charles’s crack, I actually thought you were part of Oliviera’s team. You didn’t think Islam was gonna take this fight for a second before Bruce Buffer announced the fighters. Unbelievable!
Chael has been right from the day one… Every sentence makes sense… Guys like Chael have spent their lives in this sports and know what they are talking about… Thumbs up, Chael!!
There was a reason why Charles was calling out Nate Diaz and Connor Mcgregor after beating Justin. And this everything that happened on 22nd Oct was the reason.
Another thing about keeping the fights short is that there's not enough footage to watch. I feel like Makhachev was still just getting started. He very clearly outlined what he was looking for and how he planned to handle it with Oliveira. Everything worked out.
Chael ironically you yourself literally have made that very same argument that Charles being more experienced and tested is a positive and if you’d like to say you haven’t I’d be overjoyed to send you a couple of videos in fact. I specifically remember the video bc I brought up Dan Hooker in the comment - which is the one fight that made it pretty clear Islam would do well last night. You could have played this video so many ways. Why you chose the most ironic one where you contradict yourself was an odd choice. Maybe calling out you picked the favorite isn’t as sexy but you did allude to Charles taking too much damage which is where I agreed. I mentioned the Pettis fight was the model on the video you said TKD “hadn’t had the best representation” which is ironic as Pettis was the former champion and submitted Charles after not being afraid of rolling. And outright heavy handed striking purist would be a hell of a match up with Islam. I don’t think he’s dropping the belt to Volk in any scenario but we’ll see
The points chael sonnen makes are often overlooked by amateurs and wannabes and it's that experience and knowledge that separates him from everyone else. He always seems to be spot on. Keep the videos coming please.
In an 8m16s fight Islam had over 5m of control time, outstruck Oliveira 3:1 (72 for Islam to 25 for Oliveira), landed 83% of his strikes (!!!), hit 2 takedowns, rocked him twice, cut him open, knocked him down once, and then EASILY choked him tf out. It was complete and total domination by Makhachev. ☝🏻
I’m Islam fan for years, but I don’t think that Olivera was exposed, in my eyes Olivera performed great, and was a great champion, but islam is just better, that’s all
@@k.k878 oliveira was completely exposed, he had NOTHING for Islam that whole fight. As an example, Thiago Moises lasted twice as long as oliveira did against Islam
Before I watch the video, my thoughts were Charles was extremely nervous or scared. He wasn’t throwing punches really. Perhaps unlike the other fights where he could drop to the ground if he got wobbled, he didn’t want to do that because the ground wasn’t as safe.
Uncle Chael you’re the BEST!!! It’s ironic in the end that Islam knocked out Oliveira, to only then setup/transition to a submission to one of the greatest submission MMA Fighter in the UFC. Islam, succeeded and shockingly really made it look soo easy.
Charles is one of the better fighters of the "older MMA generation" in which majority of the top guys (Dustin, Justin, Chandler, etc.) are very one dimensional or just average in certain areas. We are now in the era where if you aren't strong everywhere, good luck beating any of these young guys
No offence to Charles, hes a great guy but only in UFC a guy with 8 losses and all tapins can be considered in goat debates! And people like Joe wants Khabib to be back for this guy lol
I predicted Charles to win but also stated on several videos that I was concerned with how Olivera always gets rocked and Islam’s Power being an issue. At least I was right about one thing lol Blowed my mind bc Olivera got caught in a simple sub that he clearly knows how to defend and stay away from. An Arm triangle choke is the First Submission I learned when I started bjj. The top pressure from Islam must have been heavy AF. Props to him though

The reality is many mma fans are in reality fans of the story. Look at them flock fighters like gustaffson , hooker and oliveira. They care too much about "oh hes so likeable, oh hes so humble, oh he came from poberty". I and many others have been saying the same, that Oliveira gets hit too much, and if gaethje or poirier or chandler had pushed when he was downed they would have won. Good for oliveira hes good, but hes not getting near that belt again.
@@christtel1484 for as long as Makhachev is active, Charles won’t see that belt for sure
Two weeks? Months
I gotta say I was very impressed with Islam's performance and physique. That man was in 100% ready to go condition. He had a great game plan and his striking was sharper than ever. And I think Charles recognized it very quickly and was slightly intimidated. Just enough to take Charley off his game. Good job Islam.....
I think the key was the grappling strength of Islam. Charles has been dropped multiple times in last few fights, but opponent couldn’t take advantage. Islam dropped him, then turned into a python and ended it.
That’s cause he trained with Usman Nurmagomedov, the soon to be Bellator lw champ whose striking is off the charts.
@@shannond9945 Well I don't think anybody expected Islam's striking to be as good as it was. You could see the look on Charles's face, and his demeanor change as soon as Islam started tagging Charles a couple times. Islam was fast and accurate. His defense was better than ever. When you look at any of his previous fights, he never looked this sharp and Charlie knew it. It's gonna be very interesting to see how he looks in his next fight. Will he be better? Will he slide back?? I love watching this stuff lol.
It was because Khabib was willing yo spend 1 Million dollars for Islam's training. DC even said that if he won't become a champion with all that expenses during his training then he doesn't deserve to be a champion.
He's finished multiple fights from an arm triangle where he didn't even hop off to the side. Islam's size and power at 155 is crazy. I can't believe he came in 154.5
My respect for you just increased. I actually was thinking of how Oliviera could win this fight against possible the best wrestler to ver grace the UFC. Islam is a beast at another whole level! I don't see any lightweight defeating him in the nearest future.
Islam Makhachev will be champion for many years to come! absolute monster!

Charles much respect to you brother. Islam what a win, you just showed the world that you belonged there and are now the man to beat in the UFC's most stacked division.
What impressed me the most is Islam’s striking.
Islam was just too good
Chandler is a overrated midget.He didn't accomplish anything in the UFC. He was talking down Islam like he achieved something. And don't forget all these "tough guys" avoided Islam and tried to frame it like he didn't beat anybody. Islam showed he is leagues above. Not he belongs. lol.
Gaethje and Dustin are status fighters guys like beneil dariush gamrot and arman are the real deal
Great fight! Islam made me a believer.
I’ve been listening to chael for years, i feel like we all got some bond in this community. I love it and i love uncle chael. Thanks for making every week a little more tolerable 😂
The fight played out exactly as I expected it to. I knew if Charles was going to settle in and fight from his back that he had no chance. Guys like Islam and Khabib love to lay on people and you're basically gifting them the opportunity to do that. It's a recipe for disaster that nobody has been able to stop yet.
Exactly their top control is too dominant and is literally their best attribute . Whoever thinks they have chance fighting off their back are just massively wrong. The only way to beat them is to catch them with great striking which is damn near impossible

Chael is never wrong because he picks the right side after the fight. Before the fight he speaks on the fence.
This time he wasn't on the fence tbh, i give this one to Chael
There was a vid out a year or so ago where Khabib was telling a younger guy on his team that in the early stages of a fight, if you’re on top but can’t break through, and you felt that you could take the guy down easily, to give him room to get up and ride your weight on him… basically he was saying it would really tire out the opponent to give them space to stand but make them carry your weight the entire time… do that a few times and the guy is dead tired. You can see Khabib do it with Poirier

Not true. Volkanovski, Gamrot, Tsarukyan, Dariush and Fiziev all said Islam wins for them.
@@Kremmycakes I would like to see a rematch also. But Charles is going to have to come up with a better strategy. Because his BJJ was completely neutrized and rendered ineffective.
He needs to work on massive takedown defense to keep the fight standing. Because Islam is levels better than him on the ground.
Who cares if Charles fixed his eye. He saw himself get beat up in 4k 😂 he should’ve broken that clinch but he got hit with the ogoshi
So he should stay at being unfixed eye so that at least the charlies fan got an excuse? 🥴🥴
Almost like improved eyesight meant he could see the punches coming and freaked out. Maybe poor vision is good....cause you can’t fear what you can’t see.

Much respect uncle Chael, but are you forgetting Anderson vs you the first go. You beat the tar out of him for nearly 5 rounds. However his perseverance and belief in his ground game off his back won the day for him. You definitely won the fighting, but he won the match. Yet we all still hold you in the highest regard.
You know what better than a guy who completes a miraculous compact time and time again? A guy who so good he never has to come back…
In every other fight Charles always looked like he could win, had a chance. Today was different, on every metric he looked second best. Islam looked quicker, better striking, stronger, better game plan, take downs, stamina. This is a problem as Charles showed little in return. Islam at no point looked threatened.
can we also talk about that home turf advantage? or how abu dabi pays millions to ufc? or weight advantage? or how 50% of comments under ufc mma videos are fake promo accounts
@@GamingDualities correct! Charles has gotten dropped numerous times and prior to this no one looked to get the sub because of his ground skills. This guy did and unfortunately for Charles, he lost.
@@GamingDualities I don’t understand this argument of “home turf” for Islam. Didn’t Charles defend his title in the US against Gaethje and Poirier? That’s home turf for them and they were the challengers then as well. The UFC has a contract with Abu Dhabi - at the end of the day, it’s a business, and a business is there to make money. There was no weight advantage? They both hit the scales on the same weight. How they choose to go in to the fight, wether lighter or heavier, is their choice. This has always been a part of the sport.
@@GamingDualities Man they could have fought in Brazil under "Vale Tudo" rules with the Gracies in his corner, and with no Russians being allowed in the building and it wouldn't have mattered one bit lol. Love Charles but he was easily dismantled by just a more skilled, more athletic, stronger, faster opponent in every way possible in this fight. Khabib knew what he was witnessing with his protege the entire time and tried to tell everybody what was gonna happen but many people just didn't believe him 🤷

Uncle Chael, you got ufc 280 main event spot on.

"You only embrace the darkness. I was BORN IN IT."
It’s true…
Both are great fighters but this was an opponent that Charles had who actually had competitive ground game.
And not just competitive ground game, the question was who does it better since they both come from strong ground game backgrounds.
That’s what people were fighting about and after the fight they started saying ,,you can only grapple” ..
They just hate him
Frankly, Islam is an athlete of international level, while "do bronx" is state level in Brazil. UFC still have much of an amateur level. Besides, sambo, proved again, is more complete than this brazilian jiu jitsu, mixed lately, already in adult phase, with muay thai.
Charles got smashed that's it!! He put everyone including yourself in their place thinking he was the greatest lightweight of all time. That Charles was above Khabib.......he wasn't & never will be

why are you all so emotional? almost like Islam's giving you part of his purse lol, chill the f out, you'd still get your faced smashed by any of these fighters
@@lorenzopadilla2963 You totally missed the point
Uncle Chael, this was like watching a magician explain a magic trick. For an hour.
My thoughts going into this fight was that Charles didn’t seem too loose going into it. His past few fights he was bouncing around staring his opponent down. When he came out and got into the octagon he didn’t even look at Islam up until the fight started. He definitely seemed off. Meanwhile when Islam came out he was smiling which is something you don’t see often. I told everyone before the fight that Islam will have zero issue taking Charles down but the struggle will begin once they are on the ground. What I didn’t actualize was Islam beating Charles standing up. Combine Islams decent stand up game with his grossly strong ground game and no amount of Jiu Jitsu could have beat that. Islams Sambo outclassed Charles on every level and Islams Dagestani wrestling crushed Charles. One thing people don’t talk about is Islams unique submissions. Typically you would see triangle chokes, rear naked chokes, and such in the UFC but if you look back on Islams submissions he has some crazy submissions. The champ has a name and it’s Islam Makhachev.
Hey sammycas , agree 💯% with your assessment. I'm a believer , there is levels to this game called MMA.
That submission immediately reminds me of Islam vs Drew Dober, some people were saying that submission would not work but Islam just use a brute force to make Drew Dober tap. I'm surprised Charles tap so fast.
Uncle Chael, Robert Whittaker and GSP were right. They are unbiased professionals.
Coach firaz too
Charles and a lot of experts were prisoners of the moment. They never took a step to look at the skillsets of Charles's last three opponents. In any other sport, you look at what the team you facing does best and its tendencies.
The reality is that compared to Charles's last three opponents, Islam statistically has better defense and takedowns and does not waste strikes.
The experts got caught up in names and excitement. Hopefully, now they look at the attributes just as much as the names because Islam walked through who the media was calling the goat less than 48 hours ago.
Charles lost because he was battered on the feet. People will talk about the ground but, he only lost on the ground (at that point) because of being damaged on the feet. If not for having took that damage, he would have remained competitive on the ground for much longer. His lack of head movement finally caught up to him
Its not his fault. His kick missed and makhachev got him.
I think after the first round, it was clear to everyone (Oliveira included) that the only way Oliveira could win would be on his feet. He had nothing for Islam on the ground and got absolutely dominated in the first round. Second round, Islam showed him that he also had nothing for him on his feet.
No, Charles took damage with Chandler, Poirier & Gaehtje but he win anyway. Charles lost because Islam is willing to go down with Charles & able to dominate Charles on the ground. Chandler wasnt able to dominate.
I wouldnt call being suffocated on the ground as being competitive. After the 1st round Charles simply doesnt want to be on the ground with Islam. Charles did a good job defending the TD in the 2nd round, he doesnt want to go down again.
What made olivera lose, was his Greed for a knock out...Look at all his exchanges on the feet...Only throwing POWER ENDING punches...To make it worse ,Islam was fast ,quick outta there ...threw the game plan out, telegraphing every shot ,no set ups, no headmovement ,. And Islam took advantage.....btw, IAM a BIG OLIVERA FAN.
Charles lost because he found someone who was a better grappler than he was and couldn't win via submission. His record submission wins were nullified by a Sambo fighter who knows his stuff. Striking wise, Charles relied on power, but never proven to have overall technique. This is exactly is the issue is that people view stats like "most submissions in UFC history" to judge how good a grappler is. Such stats don't prove much because they are many levels to grappling in competition. The stat itself is used more like a highlight reel type of stat. It is like showing KO highlights. Highlights don't contextualize the skill level. At least it is not presented that way. Even Islam was making note of this in conversations about Brazilian Jiujitsu blackbelts and how overrated the black belt is. This is true, in martial arts a black belt is not even considered a level of someone's true skill, they just mastered the techniques to become a black belt, it is not a measure of overall grappling skill. After you receive a black belt, you are just beginning to put all the pieces together to learn effectively. Fighters like Islam or Khabib are not afraid of Brazilian Jiujitsu blackbelts. Islam's camp said straight up, if Charles wants to roll, we're gonna roll, and not only that, Islam will take him down. The truth is, both Islam, and Khabib are better grapplers than Charles, and that alone removes a huge chunk of the perceived aura. Islam and Khabib have a lifetime of grappling experience. They're the real deal and the most complete grapplers in MMA history. If you knew their mentality, and training, you would not be surprised if they keep winning. A hardcore MMA fan understands styles, strategy, and training regime. Casuals follow stats and highlight reels.
Uncle you predicted this win!!!!! Good stuff!

The way Charles lost was devastating. That looked pretty bad. Goodluck to him next time and Congrats to Islam.
People thought this was a matchup of BJJ vs wrestling.
The truth is, it was BJJ vs wrestling and BJJ
Makhachev is a complete grappler from freestyle wrestling/Pankration/judo/bjj. It was too much.
Submissions, wrestling and judo, yeah bruh, it's called SAMBO
It's sambo my dude, sambo incorporates more skill sets than just wrestling...
If BJJ was the most complete martial art for MMA it would be called Russian Sambo ... Sorry , 😭😭😭 it's not .
BJJ is about finding submission. Sambo is about finishing you thru it.
my boy fuckin did it.
Another thing about keeping the fights short is that there's not enough footage to watch. I feel like Makhachev was still just getting started. He very clearly outlined what he was looking for and how he planned to handle it with Oliveira. Everything worked out.
Chael was one of the few to get right prediction. Undefeated undisputed
Chael ironically you yourself literally have made that very same argument that Charles being more experienced and tested is a positive and if you’d like to say you haven’t I’d be overjoyed to send you a couple of videos in fact. I specifically remember the video bc I brought up Dan Hooker in the comment - which is the one fight that made it pretty clear Islam would do well last night. You could have played this video so many ways. Why you chose the most ironic one where you contradict yourself was an odd choice. Maybe calling out you picked the favorite isn’t as sexy but you did allude to Charles taking too much damage which is where I agreed. I mentioned the Pettis fight was the model on the video you said TKD “hadn’t had the best representation” which is ironic as Pettis was the former champion and submitted Charles after not being afraid of rolling. And outright heavy handed striking purist would be a hell of a match up with Islam. I don’t think he’s dropping the belt to Volk in any scenario but we’ll see
Who won? Islam.
I’ve been staring at my phone for hours on end refreshing, waiting for your thoughts. I knew Uncle Chael would start pumping out the content asap. 🐐🐐🐐

Before I watch the video, my thoughts were Charles was extremely nervous or scared. He wasn’t throwing punches really. Perhaps unlike the other fights where he could drop to the ground if he got wobbled, he didn’t want to do that because the ground wasn’t as safe.

Chael had this bit some time ago about "not winning from back", and it sounded true then, and it is proven now. Uncle Chael, hats off to you, again.
Charles is one of the better fighters of the "older MMA generation" in which majority of the top guys (Dustin, Justin, Chandler, etc.) are very one dimensional or just average in certain areas. We are now in the era where if you aren't strong everywhere, good luck beating any of these young guys
You nailed it. I agree.
Always be humble..no matter how good everyone tells you that you are🙏
Charles looked so sad after the fight :(
Me too man
bro somethings it happens but olivera is the warrior we respect them. but Islam is on another level 🙂
Where are all the Charles fans😂
No but seriously Respect for both!
No offence to Charles, hes a great guy but only in UFC a guy with 8 losses and all tapins can be considered in goat debates! And people like Joe wants Khabib to be back for this guy lol
Chael the type of person to say a lot without really saying anything
“hE DoEsNt EvEn DeSeRvE tHis FiGhT” yeah you can all stop saying stupid things now.
The Champion has a name ….
And it’s Islam Makhachev 😂😂😂
And it ain't Charles Oliveira
Charles was never a true champion...he missed weight.
I predicted Charles to win but also stated on several videos that I was concerned with how Olivera always gets rocked and Islam’s Power being an issue. At least I was right about one thing lol Blowed my mind bc Olivera got caught in a simple sub that he clearly knows how to defend and stay away from. An Arm triangle choke is the First Submission I learned when I started bjj. The top pressure from Islam must have been heavy AF. Props to him though
Damn you, mr Chael you got me with the click bait 🙏😂
Charles didn’t have enough time to adapt to his new abilities
🤣
Best excuse so far. Very creative 💯
🤣🤣🤣
Let the excuses start coming in 😂
Hahaha good 1
Chael’s next two videos should be titled “How good is Islam Makhelchev?” And Blehal Remember the name Muhammed”
Chael cant seem to remember his name😂
He mixes his H and L like he’s dyslexic
Blahal
