Hailing from Guaruja, Brazil, Charles Oliveira is a former UFC Lightweight Champion who trains with the Chute Boxe Academy. Fighting from a switch stance, the fourth-degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt is known for his aggressive grappling. This style has helped him secure the record for the most submission victories in the history of the UFC.
Oliveira enters UFC Fight Night: Hernandez vs. Rodrigues on August 22, 2026, holding a 6-2-0 pre-event record. Over his last five matchups, he suffered a submission loss to Islam Makhachev but rebounded with a TKO win against Beneil Dariush. After dropping a split decision to Arman Tsarukyan, he secured a unanimous decision over Michael Chandler and most recently defeated Mateusz Gamrot via a face crank submission.
