CHARLES OLIVEIRA

Representing Brazil, Charles Oliveira competes within the lightweight division under the guidance of Chute Boxe Academy. He previously reigned as the promotion's lightweight king and currently possesses the BMF belt. His reputation stems from being a highly productive finisher, setting league benchmarks for the highest number of submissions and total finishes. He blends aggressive striking tactics with high-level Brazilian jiu-jitsu to overcome his opponents inside the octagon.

The Brazilian enters this matchup holding an overall professional record of 37 wins, 11 losses, and one no-contest. He arrives with momentum following a unanimous decision victory over Max Holloway in March 2026. Prior to that, he secured a submission win against Mateusz Gamrot. This follows a knockout defeat to Ilia Topuria, a decision victory over Michael Chandler, and a split-decision loss to Arman Tsarukyan.
