I was rooting for Charles, but going into the fight had a real nagging feeling that Beneil was going to put on a clinic.

Was great to see Charles show once again that he’s one of the absolute best, and the most exciting fighter in the UFC.

Still sad to see Beneil come up short, and miss out on a title shot that he had already earned :/

I know mma math is interim boolsheet, but if Beneil couldn't get it done against Olives, he probably wouldn't have beaten Islam. Felt like Charles's grappling was adequate and if Islam is better in that department, Islam would've easily handled Beneil's pressure.

I was rooting for Beneil to win and get his title shot too - was surprised to see him as the favorite.

I got the impression Beniel has run out of weight cuts.
