Charles Oliveira

Charles Oliveira, known as "Do Bronxs," holds a 37-11-0 record (1 NC) and competes as an Orthodox-stance lightweight. The Brazilian striker-grappler operates as a well-rounded threat, averaging 3.23 strikes landed per minute with 55% accuracy while maintaining a 2.6 submission average per 15 minutes—a hallmark of his submission-heavy approach.

Oliveira's takedown defense sits at 54%, though his offensive wrestling averages 2.29 takedowns per 15 minutes at 39% accuracy, indicating he relies more on striking and submission entries than sustained grappling control. His recent record shows 5 wins and 3 losses over his last eight fights, including a unanimous decision victory over Michael Chandler in November 2024 and a second-round submission of Mateusz Gamrot in October 2025, demonstrating his capacity to execute both tactical decisions and finishing sequences.

However, he suffered a notable second-round submission loss to Islam Makhachev in October 2022, exposing vulnerabilities against elite-level wrestling. At 35 years old, Oliveira remains a dangerous finisher in the lightweight division, though recent losses to top contenders suggest he operates outside the current title picture.
