Charles Oliveira Da Silva is undoubtedly one of the best fighters in the UFC. Born and brought up in Guarujá, São Paulo, Brazil, the Brazilian was not always going to be a fighter. From being a shy, young boy to becoming one of the most lethal finishers in the UFC, ‘do Bronx’ has surely come a long way.
