I\u2019m still going to put all my money on Oliveira. I think Oliveira got it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI think he can (submit him) because of the striking, because of the combination,\u201d Burns explained. \u201cThe grappling and ground and pound from Islam is better than Oliveira\u2019s, but Oliveira with the combined striking, the clinch, and the submission attempts, it\u2019s different. I think that\u2019s what makes him the best.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cNot just the jiu-jitsu. It\u2019s the length (too). Those guys that are skinny and super bony, any kick, people have no idea, any kick that he throws hurts and Oliveira kicks a lot. You saw what Justin said after the fight? First thing he said after he stood up: \u2018You hit hard as f*ck.\u2019 And for Justin to say that, he was in the war with Michael Chandler and he said, \u2018Bro, you hit so hard.\u2019 So that guy hits hard, he\u2019s bony with crazy grappling, with crazy clinch. I have Oliveira all day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Quotes via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2022\/05\/ufc-news-gilbert-burns-amazed-by-charles-oliveiras-grappling-confident-he-beats-islam-makhachev\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMA Junkie<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>Would you favour Charles Oliveira to defeat Islam Makhachev?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC welterweight Gilbert Burns has explained why he believes Charles Oliveira has what it takes to defeat Islam Makhachev.
