To most people today, tattoos are a fashion statement. But, there are a lot of others who have deep secrets hidden inside the ink on their bodies. UFC fighters don’t lag behind in this regard too. The life of a fighter is full of uncertainty. A healthy chunk of fans might agree that it takes something extraordinary to create a fighter out of a person. While taking that journey, fighters are required to go through a lot of hardships and untoward experiences. Hence, fighters often tend to get tattoos to commemorate those experiences.

UFC fighters have also showcased some gaze-attracting tattoos over time. Starting from Conor McGregor’s commemoration of the combat legend, Bruce Lee, with his chest tattoo to Brock Lesnar, representing his unruly times with the sword tattoo running through the middle of his torso. UFC fighters have used tattoos for both fashion and symbolic purposes. The former UFC Lightweight kingpin, Charles Oliveira, isn’t an exception to this. ‘The Brazilian’ has a number of attractive tattoos on his body. But, apart from fashion, his tattoos also stand as a commemoration of a number of things related to him.
