Charles Oliveira has the chance to avenge his first career loss at Saturday’s UFC on FOX 31 event in Milwaukee — and the opportunity is something special for him.
Oliveira was two months away from turning 21 years of age when he made his Octagon debut in 2010, submitting Darren Elkins in just 41 seconds. Six weeks later, he finished Efrain Escudero in impressive fashion to improve to 14-0 in the sport.
“Do Bronx” was a promising lightweight from Brazil, but his desire to move up the rankings as fast as possible came with a price.
