00:00Ilya Teporia, Charles Oliveira, how do you see this style clash unfolding?
00:07Because it's very interesting, this one, in how the styles can clash,
00:10and what's at stake for both of these men in the lightweight title picture here.
00:13Yes, sir, absolutely.
00:14And now for context, Lexter, Ilya Teporia was the champion in the featherweight division,
00:19and he vacated that title to chase Islam Makachev,
00:22who then vacated the lightweight title to go up a weight class.
00:25So now you've got Ilya Teporia going up against Charles Oliveira,
00:28and it feels like the old guard and the new generation fighting for their respective legacies.
00:33You know, Teporia is looking to start his by knocking out another fan favorite.
00:39Meanwhile, Oliveira is looking to add more to his legacy by starting a second title right now.
00:43Oliveira is the most prolific finisher in UFC history,
00:46but he tends to get hit a lot and is especially susceptible to hooks,
00:50and he's going up against one of the most effective boxers in UFC history in Teporia.
00:55So it pains me to say this, Lexter.
00:57We've seen the Max Holloway fight and how Teporia turned him off when nobody else did before him.
01:04I think Charles gets clipped tonight, and Ilya becomes the new lightweight champion.
01:08Ooh, so a little bit of an upset there.
01:10Yes, sir.
01:10A shock for the people.
01:12Okay, so that could be really interesting.
01:13But as you said, there is a lot in terms of legacy on stake for both of these men fighting in this one.
01:19All right.
01:30The truth itself might be a fool.
01:32Okay.
01:32The truth itself might be a fool.
