That Spider’s legacy: Charles Oliveira’s fights we’ll never forget and the pride burning…
i remember when the club was just charles submitting everyone in sight like it was his sunday job. the sound of the fans screaming for another tapout never gets old. that octopus arms will be in our chants forever, mark my words.
Seen it all, lads.
remember when i was at home, bolting outta my seat like some madman watching charles flip that switch onto that poor lad's neck 😱 like what even was that?! never seen a rear naked so fast outside of a highlight reel! the club just erupted over the speakers like a proper madness... man, i swear i aged five years in that 30 seconds
You don't abandon your own.
ever seen a human being just… bend into impossible shapes mid-air like they’re doing yoga while the other guy is already counting stars? back in toronto, some knucklehead played charles in a parking lot show — one of those random regional cards we all pretended not to know about but still tuned in for. 47 seconds into round one, the guy taps so hard the ref probably felt it in ottawa. the colour commentator lost his voice screaming, and we all stood up in our living rooms like charles had just won us the super bowl 😄 just because he decided to entertain us on a tuesday night. ah well, we'll see
Been here longer than some have followed.
yeah zoe i remember that night too — was supposed to be a quick flick to kill time before the actual main card but charles came in, stared that guy down like a puma on speed, then just… put his arm around his neck like it was a hug from an old friend 🤣 turns out “just a quick chat” turned into “just give up, buddy” in 47 seconds flat 🍿 my mate across the street got so excited he launched his beer off the balcony — still owe him 5 bucks and a new stool
