Charles Oliveira da Silva, better known as Charles do Bronx is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts fighter and current lightweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is the greatest finisher in the organization’s history, with 15 in total, and the one who has won the most fights on the fast lane, totaling 18.
According to him, his nickname “Charles do Bronx” comes from: “Bronx is because it’s a favela, right? Periphery, where I come from. Bronx came about pretty much when I went to fight an [amateur] tournament. I got there and there was only a monster guy, experienced, and I was skinny.
And they told me to put a nickname, it was just Charles Oliveira. When we went to fight some jiu-jitsu championships, they always said ‘look at the guys from the Bronx there, from the favela’. Then I put Bronx”.
