Charles Oliveira wants to go back to featherweight, but open to fights at lightweight

Days after submitting Will Brooks and earning a "Performance of the Night” bonus at UFC 210, “do Bronx” returned to Brazil to be by his wife’s side when she gave birth to his first daughter, Tayla.

Oliveira’s days now are a mix of bottles of milk and diapers, but that’s not stopping him from training.

"When fight was over, I asked for another fight right away,” Oliveira told MMA Fighting. "I want my next fight booked right now. I went back to the gym as soon as I returned to Brazil. I celebrated the victory with my friends.
