Oliveira to lose UFC belt after failing to hit weight
With lightweight champion Charles Oliveira set to be stripped of his belt, only Justin Gaethje can walk away from UFC 274 with the title.
Khabib had his chance, then ran away into retirement.
Charles has 1 title defences and 8 losses, heâs barely considered a top 10 LW at this point.

This.
Charles has been in 3 straight Title Fights where he had to be the âAwayâ Team.
He has done more than enough to get 1 Title Fight next as the âHomeâ Team in Brazil. His last fight was practically in Gaethjeâs backyard.
Itâs ridiculous for a Challenger to dictate the terms and demand a fight in their location especially when it is the Middle East where there is no Commissions and as stated above it would negatively affect PPV buys for North America.
Just make dariush/Islam for the title and give Charles a money fight then.
Just like when Dustin passed up the title to fight Conor for a 3rd time.
Given the circumstances of Charles not officially being the Champ, I have no problem with that arrangement.
At least itâll mean that Beneil and Islam will have fought someone.
His last fight wasnât a title defence.
He was stripped of the title.
He doesnât call any shots whatsoever.
It was a Title Fight for Gaethje so it was a Title Fight sorry bro
I understand what your trying yo say, but Im a REAL MAN around these parts and your like PinnochioâŚ
On the merrits of that alone, if I would have asked you to hold my jockstrap during this conversation, you might give yourself a hernia. And I donât know if I could live with that on my conscience because you entertain me a lot JackâŚ
It was a Title Fight for Gaethje so it was a Title Fight sorry bro
And it wasnât a title fight for Charles.
Are you aware how missing championship weight or do you make up your own rules?
He is not the UFC champion.
With lightweight champion Charles Oliveira set to be stripped of his belt, only Justin Gaethje can walk away from UFC 274 with the title.
You mean like Khabib gets to do when he is on a scale in Saudi Arabia? Na we play by the rules.

Nice conspiracy theory.
Iâm talking about actual reality.
Charles was stripped.
Just make dariush/Islam for the title and give Charles a money fight then.
Just like when Dustin passed up the title to fight Conor for a 3rd time.

The only way I would sign off on that, because obviously me signing off on it would be necessary in order for the UFC to go ahead and move forward with that, would be if you allowed Charles to fight McGregor in the meantime. If heâs not getting red panty night money he should only be fighting for that title and nothing other
Agreed, Charles will fight whomever the UFC puts in front of him. I think heâs finally getting vocal bc it seems all the so-called challengers are acting like theyâre already the champion and making demands for this and that like the challenger picking where the fight should be held at and lo and behold, itâs someplace that only benefits him.
Holding the fighting in Abu Dhabi doesnât benefit Charles OR the UFC. It only benefits Islam. The same venue where his daddy khabib had to cheat in his last fight.
Iâm sure you are more of UFC Weigh in Expert than Dolce who says it was off
You might as well post fake space landing videos.
The record books reflect Khabib made weight and defended his title 3 times.
Charles has 1 title defence and is no longer champion.
Smarts donât it?
I bet you Trust CNN too LOL
Iâm sure you are more of UFC Weigh in Expert than Dolce who says it was off
Dolce is too busy fingerblasting his asshole and trying to convince rampage that itâs a finger scoop of Nutella for his opinion on this matter to actually be taken seriously. Is weight cutting Street Credit went out the fucking window after he worked with BJ Penn and BJ fucking blasted him Every Which Way but Loose
I bet you Trust CNN too LOL
It doesnât matter what I trust.
Youâre a tinfoil hat fool.
Reality >>> Conspiracy
Whatever helps you sleep at night. Khabib is a legit WW who had to kill himself to fight LW there.
Hey, quick questionâŚDo you happen to know why the AZ commission deviated from their bylaws and didnât give Charles the mandatory 2 hours to make weight after he missed on the first attempt?
It just means youâre not a real fan. You just look at the record books without truly understanding any of the nuances that play out in the sport.
