There is no doubt that UFC champion Charles Oliveira is one of the best MMA fighters the world has seen. His title defense against Dustin Poirier was a spectacular fight and Oliveira’s grappling skills were at the finest. While he is a beast inside the ring, there is another side to his persona that many fans may not know of.

In a few pictures that were shared by UFC lightweight Terrance McKinney on Twitter, Oliveira was seen helping those in need by giving them food. McKinney wrote, “He’s a champ inside and outside the cage”. It seems Oliveira’s compassion impressed McKinney too. However, these pictures are from a year ago.
