From humble open-weight puncher to UFC lightweight king—Charles 'do Bronx' Oliveira deserves a statue!
man, back in 2013 when this mad lad was still throwing hands at 155lb shows and every jab had that dangerous snap to it, i was sitting front row in brasilia for pfl 2 when he sent that flying knee into zu beers face like a fucking comet from the northeast 🩸⚡ bloody hell, my glasses fogged up from the spray and the cage shook, and i swear to god the next day half the gym in méier was trying to imitate that finishing move on the heavy bags
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Damn right that knee is the move we all brag about at rodízio night in Toronto, I was watching it drunk with a bunch of Toronto wolves shirtless in my basement blasting funk carioca and when that knee hit I spilled caipirinha straight on the XBOX controller 🩸⚡💦 scream like we just won the Libertadores, guy next to me fainted for two minutes straight
On the terraces since I was a kid.
remember that bar in vila alpinópolis where we all gathered to watch that card? guy at the next table was so hyped he threw a fist full of real money on the table and screamed "that knee deserves a fuckin' monument!" before the replay even finished, then offered to buy a round for anyone who agreed
Been here longer than some have followed.
man do you remember that time in Vila Madalena when the whole crew rented that tiny projector screen for 5 reais a head and poor Faz Tudo kept yelling "NOW WEEEE!" like it was the Mundial finals before the knee even landed 😂🎥 then when it did, Faz's caipirinha flew straight into some poor guy's lap who wasn't even watching the fight and started crying about his new shirt being "from Mercado Livre, not louis vitton" 🤣 we all pretended to be cops to get him outta there while keeping the noise level at "riot"
