Brazilian lightweight Charles Oliveira began his mixed martial arts journey in 2007, transitioning from jiu-jitsu, where he is a fourth-degree black belt. Fighting out of the Chute Boxe Academy, the switch-stance competitor is known for aggressive striking and elite grappling, earning him the records for most submissions and finishes in UFC history.

Carrying a 6-2-0 record into UFC 329, "do Bronxs" has won his last two fights, most recently submitting Mateusz Gamrot with a face crank in October 2025 and defeating Michael Chandler by decision in late 2024. Before this, he lost to Arman Tsarukyan by split decision, stopped Beneil Dariush via punches in 2023, and fell to Islam Makhachev by arm-triangle submission in late 2022.
