🔑’s for Beneil has to take this to the ground and use top wrestling control. 🔑’s for Oliveira has to keep it on his feet and if takedown look to get up. Keep it in the center. #ufc289

Pretty sizable gap in striking technique but Oliveira of course just concedes guard the first time they clinch.

Two really nice guys. Humble beginnings. I relate to both of them so much. I can’t pick a winner here. But I am hoping for violence 😈 May the next title challenger win! #UFC289

Dustin Poirier vs. Justin Gaethje 2 just became a No. 1 contender's fight.
Charles Oliveira looked amazing tonight but I highly doubt the UFC will run it back with him and Islam Makhachev right now. #UFC289

Congrats to Charles. If he could work on getting up sooner (like Aldo ) he would be really hard to beat. Islam is another animal on top. Doesn’t play the jits game and active on top. #ufc288
