Dustin Poirier and Charles Oliveria verbally agree to Title Match ❗

    ITS BEEN REPORTED IN NUMEROUS MMA MEDIA CIRCLES AND ONLINE VIDEOS THAT CHARLES OLIVERIA AND DUSTIN POIRIER HAVE COME TO VERBAL TERMS FOR A LIGHTWIEGHT TITLE FIGHT.

LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION CHARLES OLIVERIA AND DUSTIN POIRIER 

( CHALLENGER ) WOULD HAVE LIKELY CROSSED PATHS ALREADY , HAD DUSTIN NOT CHOOSEN TO TAKE A FIGHT WITH SUPERSTAR MMA FIGHTER CONNER MCGREGOR INSTEAD OF SEEKING THE TITLE. 

 HOWEVER, NOT MANY PEOPLE WILL BLAME POIRIER FOR WANTING TO PAD HIS BANK ACCOUNT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY.  HIS CAREER WILL NOT BE FOREVER AND WHEN YOU GET A HUGE PAYDAY LIKE THAT TO FIGHT THE SPORTS #1 STAR....WELL ....

YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO. 

    INITIAL LINE ODDS ON THIS FIGHT RIGHT NOW ARE EXTREMELY SPECULATIVE AND EARLY... HOWEVER IM HEARING WHISPERS OF POIRIER -180 TO -200 AND OLIVERIA +155 TO +170

AND I FEEL THIS IS A GENERAL GOOD PLACE TO START FOR THE LINES.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOUT ARE EXTREMELY COMPLEX. 

YOU GOT IN CHARLES A 3Rd Degree BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU BLACK ⚫ BELT AND A HIGHLY SKILLED SUBMISSION ARTIST THAT CONTINUES TO EVOLVE . AND I MEAN A HIGHLY SKILLED SUBMISSION ARTIST. MOST GUYS WORK THEIR ENTIRE LIFETIME TO REACH A BLACK BELT. ⚫ 🙌..

CHARLES IS 3RD DEGREE.... TRAINED BY Ericson Cardoso and Jorge "Macaco" Patino.

NOW THIS TRAINING IN AND OF IT'S SELF IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL. ESPECIALLY IN A MIXED MARTIAL ARTS COMPETITION. THEN YOU ADD TO THESE STUNNING ACCOLADES THAT HE ALSO HAS THE MOST SUBMISSIONS IN UFC HISTORY. YEP , THE MOST EVER. 14 OF THEM,..... NOW THAT IS AMAZING.. WE ARE GETTING INTO RARIFIED AIR HERE...... TO TOP THAT OFF , OLIVERIA HAS THE MOST FINISHES IN UFC HISTORY AT 17. 

HIS STRIKING CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AS WELL, YOU CANNOT SLEEP ON THE FACT THAT HE JUST KNOCKED A GUY THAT I THOUGHT WOULD MURDER HIM OUTRIGHT IN MICHAEL CHANDLER.....  IN FACT SINCE HE STARTED TRAINING IN 2018 AT CHUTE BOXE ( CHUTE BOXING) 🇧🇷 BRAZIL....HIS STRIKING HAS IMROVED DRAMATICALLY AND IT STANDS TO REASON WHY HE HAS ADDED KNOCKOUT AND TKO FINISHES FROM STRIKES SINCE 2018. IF YOU LOOK BACK BEFORE 2018 OLIVERIA WAS SIMPLY A WELL ROUNDED BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU SUBMISSION SPECIALIST.... HE IS NOW A KNOCK OUT ARTIST AS WELL.... WATCH OUT. 

CHUTE BOXING WHERE CHARLES HAS ADDED HIS STRIKING SKILLS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS IS KNOWN FOR VERY AGGRESSIVE SPARRING AND GOING HARD....

AND DIEGO LIMA , OLIVERIA'S COACH IS WORLD CLASS AT CREATING INCREDIBLE MUAY THAI STRIKERS, THEY SPAR HARD , AND HAVE A "NEVER GIVE UP " ATTITUDE.  

     THE PERFECT FIGHTER IS WHAT YOU COULD CONSIDER CHARLES " DO BRONX" OLIVERIA GOING INTO A VERBALLY AGGREED UPON FIGHT WITH 

DUSTIN "THE DIAMOND 💎 " POIRIER

  NOW LETS LOOK AT DUSTIN ......-180 THE RUMORS MILL HAS HIM PLACED AT MONEY LINE GOING INTO THIS UFC MMA FIGHT. 

    A KID FROM LOUISIANA THAT LIKED TO FIGHT ,  AND BY A PISS LOAD OF DETERMINATION AND FOCUS OF ENERGY HE LANDED IN THE UFC. 

  DUSTIN DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME INSANELY SPECTACULAR BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU AND MUAY THAI PEDIGREE AS OLIVERIA. ALTHOUGH HE DOES HAVE A BLACK BELT IN BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU,  IT'S NOT NEARLY IN THE SAME CLASS AS OLIVERIA'S....... 

  DOESN' T MATTER ANYWAYS..... DUSTIN RELIES ON HIS BOXING AND TOUGHNESS TO DESTROY HIS ENEMIES.....

AND HE IS DECORATED ... HE GOT HIS BOXING SKILLS FROM A VERY EARLY AGE , MOVING UP AND UP THROUGH AMERICAN GYMS TILL FINALLY ENDING UP WITH Dyah Davis WHO IS NOW DUSTIN'S BOXING COACH....( YOU CANT ASK FOR A BETTER ONE)

 DUSTIN GOING INTO THIS BOUT HAS A SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE IN BOXING,  HE LOVES TO BANG. AND HAS KILLER HANDS , HE CAN GO TOE TO TOE WITH ANY FIGHTER IN THE UFC BOXING. ( I BELIEVE THIS)

     ALSO SKILLED AT GRAPPLING, AND A BLACK BELT IN JIU JITSU IS NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT....  HE IS A ELITE FIGHTER IN MMA...... CURRENTLY #6 ON THE UFC POUND FOR POUND RANKINGS RATED ABOVE CURRENT BELT HOLDERS....

HE IS JUST A DAWG.... AND HE IS ALSO GETTING BETTER, HE IS CONSTANTLY IN THE GYM , HE IS CONSTANTLY IMPROVING , CONSTANTLY GAINING KNOWLEDGE....

HIS RECENT FIGHTS ALONE ARE A GOOD BAROMETER OF THE RUB OFF HE IS GETTING FROM WORLD CLASS FIGHTERS....

BEING IN THE RING WITH THIS TYPE OF ELITE COMPETITION MAKES GUYS GREAT, WIN OR LOOSE.....

2 BACK TO BACK VICTORIES OVER CONNER MCGREGOR, HE BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF DAN HARDY ,AND ALMOST PULLED OF A GUILLOTINE CHOKE ON THE GREATEST LIGHTWEIGHT OF ALL TIME KHABIB ...BEFORE ULTIMATE LOSS IN THAT BOUT. 

-180 BASED ON HIM BEING A BAD MUTHERFUCKER I THINK IS FAIR. 

    IM GOING TO BE WATCHING THIS FIGHT MONEY LINE CLOSELY,  AND ALSO BE WATCHING FOR A ACTUAL CONTRACT SIGNING FOR THIS BOUT , AND FOR IT TO BE OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED.  

    MY PREDICTIONS IS THIS LINE PULLS RHE TWO ULTIMATELY CLOSER TOGETHER THE CLOSER WE GET TO FIGHT NIGHT....

WHICH RIGHT NOW IS RUMORED FOR LAS VEGAS NEVADA - THE LAST PPV OF THE YEAR, WITH THIS FIGHT BEING THE HEADLINE AS OF NOW. 

I MAY PULL THE TRIGGER ON A SELECTION A FEW WEEKS OR MAYBE EVEN A MONTH OUT OF IM GOING TO TAKE OLIVERIA, BUT IM SUPER CONFLICTED... IF IM GOING TO GO WITH POIRIER, I THINK WAITING TILL FIGHT DAY WILL PULL A BETTER LINE ODD. BUT WILL SEE...... I GOT THIS ONE ENDING AT POIRIER -130 TO OLIVERIA EVEN OR +110

IT'S A CLOSER FIGHT THAN THE LINE SHOWS RIGHT NOW...AND THE DIE HARD MMA FANS WILL MOVE THE CURRENT LINE.
