It was a evening to remember for Charles Oliveira at UFC Fight Night 137.

“Do Bronx” submitted opponent Christos Giagos with a rear-naked choke 3:22 into the second round of their preliminary lightweight tilt at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo on Saturday night. It was the 11th victory via tapout of Oliveira’s career, moving him past Hall of Famer Royce Gracie and into sole possession of first place for most submission triumphs in UFC history.
