April 8th will be twice as special for UFC veteran Charles Oliveira. Not only will he return to the lightweight division to face former Bellator champion, Will Brooks, it's also the date his first kid, a baby girl, is expected to be born.
As Oliveira told Combate, he wants to dedicate the win to his future daughter.
"Actually, 2016 wasn't a good year for me, as I didn't get any wins,” Oliveira said. “But I started to feel things would get better when I found out about the pregnancy. I'm very happy, this is a new chapter of my life and I'm sure I'll win and dedicate it to my daughter and my family.
