With 15 wins in his 15-fight MMA career, Charles “the Bronx” Oliveira is the latest Brazilian addition to the UFC lightweight division. Through coaches Jorge Patino Macaco and Ericson Cardozo, the fighter signed a four-fight contract with the event. He is set to debut in July, against an opponent yet to be determined.
“I’m happy, but I know now I have a lot more work to do. Ericson is already setting up my training routine here in Brazil and, closer to the fight, I’ll head to the United States to train with Macaco,” says Charles.
“We’re working hard the whole time here in Brazil and over in the United States Macaco takes care of our interests. Charles has 15 wins under his belt and will now embark on a new stage in his career. We thank God for this opportunity,” says coach Ericson Cardozo.
