Charles Oliveira first of all is on a streak of 10 wins in a row , and the last MMA fighter to have beaten him is Paul Felder in December 2017. He owes his series to his self-sacrifice, he who has gone through so many trials throughout his life. The Brazilian fighter grew up in a favela in Rio, and saw his football dreams fly away following an illness.

His beautiful career was concluded with a victory as UFC lightweight champion, retrieved from Michael Chandler in May 2021 , put back into play a few months later against Dustin Poirier. He also notably broke the record for the number of submissions in the UFC, 11, against Christos Giagos, and has even won 4 more since.

Justin Gaethje is a former talented wrestler, and branched out into MMA in 2011. His career in the cage started very well, with 18 wins in a row. But the 33-year-old American lost blow by blow in 2017 and in 2018, against Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier , first by knockout in knee, then T. K.O by fists. More recently, he lost his penultimate fight, but against the Russian king Khabib Nurmagomedov, still undefeated after his retirement.

Gaethje's last fight was against Michael Chandler, whom he beat, just like Charles Oliveira did recently. Despite his past as a wrestler, he is used to fighting standing up, and taking his opponent to the ground quite a bit. Out of his 26 fights, he won 19 of them by knockout , and regularly won the title of best fight of the night.

Fitter and with a title to keep, we can see the Brazilian Charles Oliveira winning the fight. The majority of the duel should take place with fists and standing, and the 188 cm length of the lightweight world champion should make the difference, ahead of Gaethje's 178 cm.
