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.
