The newly crowned UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira did not have an easy journey to the belt.
After 28 Octagon appearances and 40 professional outings, it may come as no surprise that ‘Do Bronx’ even considered quitting when things were not quite going his way. However, the Brazilian is glad he stuck around and overcame all adversities.
In an interview with Super Lutas, Oliveira detailed how the beginning of his career was difficult, which made him consider giving up. Now that he is the champion and looks back to those times, Charles believes all the struggle was worth it and part of what it takes to become a fighter.
