Charles Oliveira: ‘I’m Gonna be the Champion’
Charles Oliveira is just 25 years old, but he certainly looked much more poised and experienced than that when he submitted Nik Lentz at UFC Fight Night 67 on Saturday night in Goiania, Brazil.
Perhaps that’s because he has the experience of a fighter several years his elder.
Oliveira is already five years into his UFC tenure, with 13 bouts under the promotional banner. Overall, he has 25 professional fights to his credit. As he says, he literally grew up in the Octagon.
“I came into the UFC five years ago and I was a kid. Now I’m becoming a man in there,” said Oliveira at the post-fight press conference.
