"Do Bronxs". That's what they call Charles Oliveira, and is ranked #3 at UFC lightweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
The ground is where fights end: 22 wins by submission (59% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.
Most recent outing: a win over Max Holloway via decision - unanimous. Business handled.
At 36, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
