Oliveira started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu in his youth, achieving multiple championship titles before transitioning to MMA in 2007.[5][9] Oliveira holds multiple UFC records, notably the most submission wins in the organization's history at 16, most finishes at 20 and most bonuses at 19.[10][11]

Early life

edit

From humble origins, Oliveira was born in the favela of Vicente de Carvalho in the town of Guarujá, São Paulo, Brazil on 17 October 1989.[12] At age 7, he was diagnosed with heart murmur and rheumatic fever, and told by a doctor that he couldn't play sports. His parents decided instead to let him play sports and his condition healed over time. At 12 years old, Paulo, a neighbor, introduced him to a Brazilian jiu-jitsu gym where trainer Roger Coelho gave free classes to low-income people. His family helped fund his training by selling street snacks and discarded cardboard. Oliveira trained hard and became São Paulo champion only two months after starting jiu-jitsu.[13]

Brazilian jiu-jitsu career

edit

In 2004 Oliveira won the São Paulo championship a second time, the Copa Nação Jiu-Jitsu in 2005 and in 2006 won a total of 16 medals. In 2007, as a blue belt he became two-time CBJJE World Champion, winning silver the following year as a purple belt, and becoming 2008 CBJJE South American Champion. Oliveira received all his belts from Coelho up until the brown rank.[b]

By 2007 he started to steer his career to focus on MMA.[5] He was awarded his black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Ericson Cardoso and Jorge "Macaco" Patino in 2010.[5]

In January 2020 Oliveira fought a grappling superfight at the MMA event SFT 20 against Lucas Barros from Demian Maia Jiu-Jitsu. Oliveira and Barros fought with a jiu-jitsu gi in a cage under IBJJF rules. Charles won by decision.[14][15]

Oliveira was booked to compete against Cristiano Souza in the main event of Gold Talents BJJ 2 on August 6, 2023.[16]

Fellow UFC veteran Renan Barão announced in July 2023 that he had a grappling match with Oliveira arranged for a future BJJ Stars event.[17]

Mixed martial arts career

edit

Early career

edit

Oliveira began his career in 2007 in his home country of Brazil, compiling a record of 12–0, with six knockouts and five submissions. On three separate occasions, Oliveira has compiled multiple wins on the same night.[9]

His first bout was in the amateur MMA event Circuito Nacional de Vale-Tudo Amador ("National Amateur Vale-Tudo Circuit") against Rui Machado, Oliveira submitted him with an armbar 15 seconds into the first round.[18]

In March 2008, Oliveira made his professional debut at the Predador Fight Championship promotion, where his master Jorge Patino had previously participated at Predator FC 6.[19] The event was the "Predator FC 9 – Welterweight Grand Prix", a one-night single-elimination tournament similar to the "Grand Prix" events held by Pride FC, where the competitors would have to fight three times to be crowned the champion.[20] In the first round, Oliveira defeated Jackson Pontes via submission (rear-naked choke), which advanced him to the second stage of the tournament. Oliveira's second stage fight was against Viscardi Andrade. In the second round, Oliveira won via TKO (punches) and advanced to the final round of the tournament. Oliveira won the tournament by defeating Diego Braga via TKO (punches) in the first round of the fight.[20]

Oliveira debuted at lightweight by defeating future UFC fighter Mehdi Baghdad in December 2008 at the first event of promotion "Kawai Arena". After that he entered into another tournament at "Korea Fight", where he defeated Daniel Fernandes and Eliene Silva via KO and TKO, respectively.[9]

Oliveira submitted three opponents in a row over the next few months (including Bellator veteran Alexandre Bezerra),[21] and won a split decision over Eduardo Pachu.[9]

Oliveira once again competed twice in one night, in February 2010, defeating Rosenildo Rocha via submission (rear-naked choke) in the first round and Diego Bataglia via KO (slam).[9]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

2010

edit

In January 2010, Oliveira was named as the third-best Brazilian prospect to watch in 2010, according to Sherdog.[22]

Oliveira then signed for the UFC and made his debut against Darren Elkins. This fight was originally scheduled for The Ultimate Fighter: Team Liddell vs. Team Ortiz Finale,[23] but was rescheduled for UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko due to visa issues.[24] Oliveira defeated Elkins via submission (armbar) after 41 seconds of the first round. Oliveira was taken down early by Elkins but quickly attempted a triangle choke, before transitioning to an armbar, forcing the tap out. The submission earned him the Submission of the Night award.[25]

Oliveira next fought against Efrain Escudero at UFC Fight Night 22 replacing an injured Matt Wiman.[26] The bout, which served as co-main event would become a catchweight bout after Escudero weighed in at 159 lb. Oliveira went on to defeat Escudero in the third round via standing rear-naked choke.[27] Oliveira was awarded the Submission of the Night award for his second successive UFC appearance.[28]

However, after reviewing the incident, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission overturned the result and declared it a no contest.[31] The back and forth action earned both fighters Fight of the Night honors.[32]

Oliveira was expected to face Joe Lauzon on November 19, 2011, at UFC 138.[33] However, Oliveira instead faced Donald Cerrone on August 14, 2011, at UFC on Versus 5, replacing an injured Paul Taylor.[34] He lost the fight via TKO (punches) at 3:01 of the first round.[35] His trainer stated that after going 0–2–1 NC in his last 3 fights he planned to drop down to the featherweight division.[36]

2012

edit

Oliveira was originally meant to face Robert Peralta on January 20, 2012, at UFC on FX: Guillard vs. Miller,[37] but instead faced promotional newcomer Eric Wisely in a featherweight fight on January 28, 2012, at UFC on Fox: Evans vs. Davis.[38] Oliveira won the fight via reverse calf slicer submission in the first round, marking the first time the technique had been used to finish an opponent in UFC history.[39] This fight earned him another Submission of the Night award.[39]

He did not require surgery.[67]

UFC Lightweight Champion

edit
2021
edit

Oliveira faced former three–time Bellator Lightweight Champion Michael Chandler for the vacant UFC Lightweight Championship, following previous champion Khabib Nurmagomedov's retirement, while headlining UFC 262 on May 15, 2021.[111] Despite being dropped by Chandler in the first round, Oliveira won the fight via technical knockout early in the second round to claim the title.[112] With the knockout win, he broke yet another record, recording the most finishes in UFC history.[113] This win also earned Oliveira the Performance of the Night bonus award.[114]

2022

edit

Oliveira was set to make his second title defense against another former UFC Interim Lightweight Champion, Justin Gaethje, on May 7, at UFC 274.[118] At the weigh-ins, Oliveira weighed in at 155.5 pounds, half a pound over the divisional title limit.[119] As a result, upon commencement of the fight, Oliveira was officially stripped of the championship, and only Gaethje was eligible to win the title.[120] This was the first time in UFC history that a title was vacated due to a weight miss.[121] After being knocked down, Oliveira dropped Gaethje with a right hand and rallied to win the fight via rear-naked choke submission in the first round, and was declared the number one contender to the UFC Lightweight Championship.[122] The win also earned him the third place Crypto.com "Fan Bonus of the Night" award.[123]

The decision to strip Oliveira of the championship proved controversial in what was dubbed "scale gate", as other fighters on the UFC 274 card alleged issues with the scales. Marc Ratner, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs at the UFC, stated that the other fighters were referring to the UFC's practice scale put out the night before, not the one used by the Arizona State Athletic Commission for the official weigh-in; "Some fighters wanted to change the scale from pounds to kilograms, which you can do, and I think that may have knocked it – we don't have any proof of anything, but it may have knocked the [practice] scale out of calibration."[124] The night before, Oliveira had stated that he was on weight using the practice scale.[124][125] As a result of the allegations, UFC president Dana White stated that the UFC would hire a security guard to watch the practice scale going forward.[126] Ariel Helwani and Dustin Poirier questioned why state athletic commissions still use balance or beam scales, which allow human error, for official weights and not more accurate digital scales.[125][127] Daniel Cormier, Junior dos Santos, and Glover Teixeira criticized stripping a champion over half a pound, an amount that is acceptable for non-title fights, as excessive.[128][129][130] In addition to citing previous UFC matches that were allowed to go ahead as championship title fights despite questionable weigh-ins, Helwani noted how state athletic commissions have no say in what happens to a championship belt and that it was entirely the UFC's decision to strip Oliveira of the title.[127]

Oliveira faced Islam Makhachev for the vacant UFC Lightweight Championship at UFC 280 on October 22, 2022.[131] Despite not being the champion, White stated that he "thinks" Oliveira will be receiving pay-per-view points for UFC 280.[128] Oliveira lost the fight via arm-triangle choke submission in the second round.[132]

2023

edit

Oliveira was scheduled to face Beneil Dariush on May 6, 2023, at UFC 288.[133] However, Oliveira was forced out of the event due to injury and the bout was cancelled and postponed to UFC 289.[134][135] He won the bout via technical knockout in the first round, finishing Dariush with ground and pound.[136] The win also earned Oliveira his thirteenth Performance of the Night bonus award.[137]

Oliveira was booked to challenge Islam Makhachev in a rematch for the lightweight world championship at UFC 294 on October 21, 2023.[138] However, Oliveira was forced off from the event due to injuries and he was replaced by Alexander Volkanovski.[139]

2024

edit

Oliveira faced Arman Tsarukyan on April 13, 2024 at UFC 300.[140] Despite having two close submission attempts, he lost the bout via split decision in this UFC lightweight title eliminator.[141]

Oliveira faced former three-time Bellator Lightweight World Champion and former UFC Lightweight title challenger Michael Chandler in a 5-round co-main event rematch on November 16, 2024 at UFC 309.[142] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[143] This fight earned him another Fight of the Night award.[144]

Personal life

edit

Oliveira and his wife have a daughter, born 2017, and a son, born 2024.[145] He resides in Guarujá, living near his old neighbourhood of Vicente de Carvalho, and helps his neighbourhood with regular charities. He is a Christian.[146] Oliveira was previously nearsighted, and wore eyeglasses all of the time.[147] On having to remove them to fight, he said, "If I take my glasses off, I only see 50 per cent but it never hindered me in a fight", "I see three [faces]. If I hit the middle one, that's fine".[148] In October 2022, Oliveira said his eyes are "100 percent perfect" after having had corrective eye surgery.[149]

In February 2023, Oliveira announced that he was joining OnlyFans to provide a subscription-based service to his fans, where they can see his workouts and training regime among other content.[150]

Nickname

edit

His nickname "do Bronx," literally meaning "from the Bronx", as "Bronx" was a slang used for favelas and poor neighbourhoods. In an interview he revealed: "Bronx is because it's a favela, right? Outskirts, where I come from. "Do Bronx" practically came when I went to fight in a [amateur] tournament. [...] And they told me to get them a nickname, I was just Charles Oliveira. When we went to fight some jiu-jitsu championships, they always said 'look at the guys from the Bronx, from the favela'. So I put "do Bronx" in".[151]
