If his opponent is successful in closing the distance and landing damaging blows with dirty boxing, Oliveira has demonstrated the ability to have a strong chin and overcome adversity by attacking with a takedown and submission. Whereas Justin Gaethje has a style of his fan-favorite technique of strolling down his opponent and landing incredibly destructive blows while ignoring any counterstrikes as though they had no effect on him makes him a fighter many fans look forward to seeing in the octagon.

Making the bout extremely exciting for the fans and a great one for the legacy of both of them.
