Like most UFC fighters, the Brazilian MMA fighter, Charles Oliveira too had to face many controversies. The former UFC champion has a record of 33 victories and nine losses. Oliveira’s last fight was against the current lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev, at UFC 280. However, ‘Do Bronx’ was not able to do his best, and he had to submit to a triangle arm choke by the Dagestani fighter in round two. The loss was considered one of the worst failures in the career of Oliveira, who failed to defend his lightweight title. Nonetheless, the Brazilian fighter is preparing himself to come back stronger than ever.
Once the professional lives of the fighters are kept aside, like every other human being, they too have some normal and funny takes on various things. It is social media that connects UFC fighters with their fans all around the world on a personal level. Recently, the funny side of Oliveira came out after a silly claim about him went viral. A video of a boy and girl dancing began circulating on the internet just because the boy looked like the young Oliveira. Finally, he had to come to the limelight to clear the air.
