Charles Oliveira has emerged as a true champ, coming a long way from his seven-year-old self. He was diagnosed with a heart murmur and rheumatic fever, making it seem unlikely that he would ever be able to play any sport, for that matter. However, with grit and determination, Oliviera took over and earned his first title in the Sao Paulo BJJ at only 14, merely months after joining the sport.

This trend of Oliveira proving the critics wrong has since continued throughout his UFC career. He became the unlikely lightweight champion after Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s retirement. Until he lost his title to Islam Makhachev in a largely one-sided contest. But, in a recent video making rounds on the internet, an unorthodox move during practice has caught the attention of the fans. Now, they are pleading with him to pull it out in the rematch against the Dagestani at UFC 294 this month.
