UFC HOFer Michael Bisping Compares Charles Oliveira’s Stardom to Pop Icons Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley

Charles Oliveira has made a name for himself in the UFC. ‘Do Bronx’ had a very good and dominant run as a champion in the lightweight division. Moreover, he accepted challenges from top lightweights and gave an impressive performance. However, he had a disappointing match against Islam Makhachev and has been out of the title picture. Now, he recently watched UFC 283 in Brazil. He had one big reception from his fellow countrymen. Furthermore, a UFC Hall of Famer has commented on his new level of fame owing to his treatment by the Brazilians.

Charles Oliveira has reached a different level of fame

Michael Bisping revealed on his YouTube channel the level of fame that ‘Do Bronx’ has achieved. The UFC commentator spoke highly of the former lightweight champion.

He said, “Everyone does love Charles Oliveira. My word, there was footage of him in Brazil at the weekend being swarmed It was like Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley or Jake Paul. Walking through with people just swarming him like crazy at the fact he didn’t have security was mind-blowing he’s so popular right now.”

Furthermore, he continued, “But to get a title fight he needs a good win. Because he was beaten soundly in that fight. If it was a razor close back and forth battle then fair enough maybe an instant rematch. But Islam Makhachev dominated him and we do sometimes have a bad night at the office I’ve been there myself.” The impressive Jiu-Jitsu athlete couldn’t perform in that match and ended up tapping out.
