Charles is not only a great athlete, but he’s also an amazing role model who enjoys giving back to the community. Charles does a great job of helping local youth in Sao Paulo by providing them with free education and jiu-jitsu training at his institute, and he’s directly helping them create a better life for themselves in the process.
Oliveira's last fight took place in November 2024 at UFC 309, where he won against Michael Chandler by unanimous decision. He boasts a record of 35 wins and ten losses, with one fight ruled as a no contest.
