Many have shown interest in knowing more about the lightweight champion’s net worth, Charles Oliveira after he made headlines.

The former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira is making headlines after it was announced that he was out of the main event at UFC 294, scheduled for October 21 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The news of Oliveira’s injury was confirmed by UFC president Dana White.

Charles Oliveira da Silva, a Brazilian mixed martial artist, was born on October 17, 1989. He now competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) lightweight division as a former lightweight champion.

At UFC 280, Oliveira was unable to defeat Islam Makhachev and reclaim his title. Oliveira holds a number of UFC records, including the most finishes (19) and submission wins (16) in the competition’s history.

As of December 1, 2022, he is presently ranked top in the lightweight division of the UFC and sixth in the men’s pound-for-pound division.

He grew up in Guaruja, Sao Paulo, in the Vicente de Carvalho favela, and wanted to play football professionally. But as soon as he was told he had rheumatic fever and a heart murmur, his hopes were dashed.

At the age of 12, his next-door neighbour Paulo introduced him to BJJ. His family supported his training despite the lack of funding by selling street food and used cardboard.

Career of Charles Oliveira

After having success in BJJ, the 33-year-old turned his attention to MMA. After fighting in Brazil and compiling an incredible 12-0 record, he made his debut on the international stage. Due to his undefeated record, Oliveira was a highly anticipated signing for UFC.

In August 2010, he made his UFC debut by defeating Darren Elkins through trademark submission. However, he was defeated by Jim Miller and Donald Cerrone in his following two contests. The former champion switched to featherweight in 2012, but a poor stretch of form in 2015 and 2016 forced him to switch back to lightweight.

However, after losing to Paul Felder, he quickly returned to form and reeled off 11 straight victories, including the UFC championship by forcing Michael Chandler to tap out at UFC 262.
