JOLLY OLIVEIRA

It's home sweet home for Braziliant Charles

- UFC with GARY HITCHCOCK

CHARLES OLIVEIRA'S stats - most UFC finishes (21) and most submissions (17) - are always the first things that are brought up when the Brazilian’s name is mentioned.

However, it is the qualities that are harder to quantify that have made ‘Do Bronxs’ a worldwide fan favourite, despite not speaking much English and the fact losses, especially early on, have defined his career as much as victories.

But winning appeared the only option as Oliveira returned to his homeland for the first time in more than four years to take on Mateusz Gamrot in Rio.
