Charles Oliveira

“A fight is a fight and anything can happen.”

“The Brazilian circuit is very different. There are no easy fights, every gym only puts in their best guys to fight.”

“I have fun when I fight, and I am going to have a lot of crazy moves.”

“Yes, everyone at UFC are very nice.”

“I think the only thing that happened when I fought Jim Miller is that I was a just kid, he had way more experience. I was winning the fight, landing punches and trying to get 10 submissions at the same time, and Jim Miller went for one attack only, a kneebar, and got it. His experience made the difference.”

“Actually, 2016 wasn't a good year for me, as I didn't get any wins. 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.”

“What's important is to be fighting in the UFC. It doesn't matter if it's the first or last show.”

“Anthony Pettis, he's a really tough fighter and it was a close fight until I made a mistake and gave him the neck.”

“I'm ready to fight anyone, top 10, top 5... I deserve a chance at the belt.”

“I like to stay busy!”

“I would fight McGregor in any weight, no problem. It would be a good fight, I'd really like to fight him.”

“Stop messing around sending me unranked fighters. I want someone ranked, someone that will take me closer to my goal, which is to become champion.”

“Why 'Do Bronx'? Because I'm from the slums, those are my roots.”

“My job is to fight. I make money by fighting - that's how I provide to my daughter.”

“I do not think UFC gives wrestling of the night bonus.”

“I came to the UFC to make history.”

“Lightweights are heavier and bigger than me. I walk around 166 pounds, and other lightweights come down from 198, so they are stronger than me.”

“I called out Conor McGregor, but it didn't work.”

“I would really like fight in Uruguay.”

“You do have to fight different when you might have to fight three times in one night. I really like fighting just one time a night, this lets you do more things.”
