Charles Oliveira is bouncing back with a vengeance after his setback against Islam Makhachev at UFC 281. He’s gearing up for his comeback fight against Beneil Dariush at UFC 288 in May, but before he hits the grindstone to prepare himself, he’s taken a quick detour with fellow UFC fighters Tai Tuivasa and Carlos Ulberg. The Brazilian is currently in Australia to attend UFC 284. And before the event, ‘Do Bronx’ found some time to hit the ocean and catch a much-deserved break.
A recent clip of the trio fishing together recently surfaced online, and it’s safe to say that it’s been a real crowd-pleaser. It’s a breath of fresh air for the fans to see these fighters let their guard down and enjoy each other’s company. Thus, this refreshing sight elicited a warm response from fans who never saw this coming.
