If Charles beats Islam

[andgonsil]

Does he surpass Khabib?

Last wins Lee, Ferguson, Chandler, Poirier, Gaethje, Dariush

Charles 22 UFC wins
Khabib 13 UFC wins

 

[jaberwock555]

No, he'll still be 1-1 with Islam.

 

[XociDe]

Obviously.

 

[MarloStanfield]

I think so

 

[Sauna King]

His resume will surpass Khabib's

But prime Khabib would make easy work of him

 

[Lights Out 101]

Yes LW GOAT confirmed

 

[Soggust]

I still think Khabib would have the edge, because his resume is still unblemished.

Olives will still have the early part of his career plus the Islam loss in the midst of his revival run.

But I'm coming around on Olives at #2 all-time which is crazy, but super awesome.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

For me yes.

 

[dildos]

without a doubt.

his resume is already stronger than khabibs.

 

[Argonaut]

If Oliviera convincingly beats Islam and regains the title he will be the LW GOAT no doubt.

Many already consider him the LW GOAT. A win over khabib 2.0 would solidify that.

 

[KOPPE]

hes already better than Khabib. he didnt cherry pick strikers and fought nothing but killers.
breaking Dariush who in theory was the favorite is enough to prove that.

 

[LetThemBleed]

Legacy be hard pressed not to you'd imagine. Prime versus Prime though I'd favour Khabib.

 

[Snake_bite]

that would be his first win over a former or current undisputed champ hes 0-4 currently

 

[Flower2dPeople]

 

[Soggust]

without a doubt.

his resume is already stronger than khabibs.

He certainly has a much stronger notable names list (removing common) and could even argue more like Stephens, etc., and I will even concede that all of Olives losses are respectable (came against solid fighters).

I am a big Olives fan so I hate to do this, but are we really saying the difference between these lists is worth excusing 9 more losses? I mean, I get it's better, no doubt, but man....nine? NINE? lol

Khabib:
McGregor
Iaquinta
Barboza
RDA
Trujillo
Tibau

Olives:
Dariush
Chandler
Ferguson
Lee
Gordon
Miller
Guida
Lentz
Elkins

AGAIN IM SO SORRY CHARLES FOR HAVING TO ARGUE THIS BUT I STILL LOVE YOU BRO EL CAMPION HAS A NAME ES DU BRONX [insert random portugese gibberish]

 

[Hima Hamrash]

I think yes he would be, even tho he'd have 3 wins to Khabib's 4 but 1 win won't be a big difference, so if he beats Islam, then yes he would be the LW GOAT, Islam is what ppl thought Khabib would be if he kept fighting, if Olives beats Islam then it's like him beating Khabib, and surpassing him too, and if you asked me, I hope he does that too.

 

[Noraaq]

Possibly, but Khabib would still be a -600 favorite over him so who cares lol

 

[legedema]

Olives is good but he is no where close to Khabib.
Khabib never lost ( arguably not even a round ) never bled and the most important part is how he beat all of his opponents.
none of them were able to put Khabib in a slight danger

 

[Brigfa2]

hes already better than Khabib. he didnt cherry pick strikers and fought nothing but killers.
breaking Dariush who in theory was the favorite is enough to prove that.

He didn't cherry pick stirkers, in his time there were only strikers so stars were aligned for him.

Doesn't Charles also have more wins?
