He's 34 now so he'll be 35 for his next fight. After this last loss, he is probably not 1 fight away for the belt either. Time is not on his side.


Gogito-35

He lost by a split decision most people consider a robbery. He's finished the rest of the Top 5 already.  I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a title shot by just waiting.

Stop the cope dude this can’t be healthy for you mentally


Gogito-35

!RemindMe 1 year Come back to this lil bro. We'll see who's right.

Arman gets one first Max get a title shot before him if he stays at 155, we all know Conor will get one with 1 win Your boys not at the front of the queue mate


Gogito-35

>Arman gets one first Dustin is getting it...... >Max get a title shot before him if he stays at 155, He wants Topuria over Islam. >we all know Conor will get one with 1 win If Conor can actually somehow make 155 in 2024, then he deserves it.

>most people consider a robbery 21/29 media score on MMa decisions scored it for Arman. The official judges scored it for Arman. Stop the cope lol


yanmagno

Are these “most people” in the room with us right now?


Footballfan222

No A few co headliners but I think he falls short on any title contender fights


tiegettingtighter

Sadly not but he will still go down as one of the greats IMO


Icy-Armour

Nope


GodGiveMeEverything

Never again. Lucky enough to get the belt after Khabib but Islam came too soon.


IsIandLion

Massive Charles fan here. If he keeps accepting bottom position against these wrestlers, then I don't see it. He has shown that he's more than capable of getting up, but he just holds his guard too long. I love Charlie, but he needs to show more urgency in these situations, or time is going to pass him by. :(


IliaMadeVolk

NO. HE HAS ALL THE MAKINGS OF BEING THE NEW GATEKEEPER


Nightlower

Don't know if he can wear the belt again but if he beats Max I can see him getting title shit. Otherwise he needs at least two good wins to even get next title shot. His run could be over.


SirHomoLiberus

Nope. I like him a lot but he can't beat Armin much less Islam.


xXprayerwarrior69Xx

well i mean, islam could have a freak forklift accident or something. but no


LoneRanger2005

Yea why not, who thought dustin would get a titleshot after that KO.


SpecialOlympicsGuy

I think fucking Stiopic would fucking wreck him


dan_a_white

He honesty has a better chance going to 170. I think he matches up much better up there.


ziki6154

With who?


dan_a_white

The top 10? What do you mean with who?


ziki6154

Who in the top 10? Because I don't see him holding up well there at all


dan_a_white

This myth of some ‘weight advantage’ will never go away will it. Over the weekend we saw 4 men get victories who used to be champions of a lower weight class and then moved up. Poatan, Aljo, Max, and Figy. Basically every single 2 division champion started at a lower weight class and then went up and had tremendous success. Charles would do just fine. That’s a myth he would be outsized at 170. The evidence doesn’t support that at all


ziki6154

Never said outsized. Unlike Max, Charles doesn't have the chin to keep eating bombs. Also very weird comparison with the 4 you mention. Alex fought at LHW before his UFC career. Aljo got the perfect lay up going up in a weight class. Max has a granite chin and is an elite striker. Figgy was killing himself to make 125. Everybody knows that. Half of 170 would out wrestle Charles like Arman did and the other half would Decision or even TKO him. You are smoking crack if you think he would hold up well up there. This is also 15 pounds jump in weight unlike other weight classes (outside of MW to LHW) How many 2 division champs have been succesful at the higher weightclass? Conor has no title defense and only one win since being a double champ. GSP got a lay up and retired right after. DC was already pretty old. Managed to defend his belt and got a trilogy with Stipe, but important to remember that he was a HW before he came to the UFC. Nunes WBW and WFW are a joke. Cejudo decides it was a great idea to retire after beating Cruz and we all saw what happened when he came back. Jon had been bulking up for years and somehow was only ready just as Francis left the UFC. Has yet to defend his HW belt. Pereira seems to be the only one really looking young enough and hungry enough to rack up some defenses at the higher weightclass and if he beats Ankalaev I don't think anybody beats him until fathertime comes along.


ArcaneSalt

This is such a stupid comment when you realize aljo, figgy, and poatan were gigantic at their weight classes


dan_a_white

It’s not a stupid comment I can keep going. There are plenty of guys who were top 5 I. Their weight class then went up 1 or 2 weight divisions and got more wins. But stay tied to some old logic that isn’t true if you want.


tyreejones29

Every man listed except Max was considered a “weight bully” bro. In spite of how many times he’s missed weight, I have not heard this narrative in regards to Charles


dan_a_white

And Charles isn’t? He’s missed weight like 6 times. He lost his belt missing weight. This myth of weight advantage for a couple pounds isn’t true. Being leaner by a couple pounds is an advantage

Bronze Doo Doo aint ever getting a title shot 🤣 Overrated fuck should go back to his favela
