      Exactly Charle's has got excellent TD's and very dangerous on the ground. His stand up isn't something to overlook either. But with all that said Dustin's strength and power might end up being too much for Oliveira, when Oliveira faced faced he was able to take him down but couldn't keep him down and claimed after the loss Felder was simply too strong and when fought Chandler same thing he couldn't keep Chandler down for long before he got back up.

      I’m going with Charles, way too underestimated, his striking technique is literally almost perfect and so textbook, he said himself recently strikers were able to takedown Dustin, wouldn’t be surprised if Dustin gets dropped early and everyone is shocked for some reason

    My most anticipated matchup in 2021. Both finishers who have fought in the ufc for years and earned title shots the hard way. This fight imo goes down based on who exploits the other’s glaring flaw first: Oliveira’s lack of head movement or Poirier’s suspect takedown defence (his stance seems a bit squared which is not good for defending takedowns or so I’ve heard).
    What’s crazy is that both have the tools to punish that weakness in devastating ways. Poirier’s shifting combos can take Oliveira’s head off but Oliveira has a sneaky counter double leg that he can use to punish overzealous opponents. That being said, I think Dustin has more heart than Oliveira. Oliveira isn’t a quitter but I don’t think I’ve seen him win wars like Dustin did against Gaethje or Hooker.
    Tough fight to pick tbh, but I am leaning slightly towards Dustin Poirier. I think he can hang with Oliveira on the ground better than vice versa on the feet. 2021 has been pretty crazy with these title fights. So far five belts have changed hands from their prev owners this year (Jan-Glover, Petr (lol)- Aljo, Weili-Rose, Deiveson-Brandon and Stipe-Francis). Maybe we will see the sixth this December…
