Actually, 2016 wasn't a good year for me, as I didn't get any wins. But I started to feel things would get better when I found out about the pregnancy. I'm very happy, this is a new chapter of my life and I'm sure I'll win and dedicate it to my daughter and my family.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
Kevin Lee is really tough. He has some flaws in his game that we can work with. I think he mixes up his boxing and his wrestling really well. He takes you down, he unleashes some strong ground and pound. However, he usually starts a round strong and then starts to fade. In five rounds, I think I can take an advantage of that.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
Everybody knows where I come from and how my jiu-jitsu is, training at Macaco Gold Team, but I also work on my striking at Chute Boxe Diego Lima, so I'm prepared on the feet and on the ground.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I think I have to go down to featherweight. That's where I should stay, where fights will be more equal.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
Lightweights are heavier and bigger than me. I walk around 166 pounds, and other lightweights come down from 198, so they are stronger than me.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I fought three opponents in one night two or three times, but never five rounds.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I've been fighting in the UFC for five years now and it's about time I'm headlining a card.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
The new trend in MMA is to talk trash and curse to get a fight, but I'll never change who I am.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
Becoming the guy with most submissions in UFC history at age 28, breaking Royce's record, will definitely give me more leverage with the UFC. I'll get more attention and more sponsors. It helps a lot.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I don't think about winning a bonus, I think about putting on a good fight and, if God blesses me, I will win the bonus.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
What's important is to be fighting in the UFC. It doesn't matter if it's the first or last show.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
Anthony Pettis, he's a really tough fighter and it was a close fight until I made a mistake and gave him the neck.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
Stop messing around sending me unranked fighters. I want someone ranked, someone that will take me closer to my goal, which is to become champion.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I would fight McGregor in any weight, no problem. It would be a good fight, I'd really like to fight him.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I always come in different. A different Charles comes in every time. A Charles that wants to fight and win and become the champion.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I'm almost certain that no one at featherweight or lightweight wants to go to the ground with me.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I ended up moving up to lightweight, which I didn't want, and fought a really tough guy, Will Brooks, and beat him like nothing.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I'll fight anyone. I've never turned down a fight in the UFC, and I'm here to fight.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
Rear-naked chokes are easy? Yeah, it's easy to get, but people are getting better at defending it.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I work on armbars, triangles, anaconda chokes, guillotines and rear-naked chokes. Basic, simple stuff. I just wanna go there and win the fight, I don't wanna invent too much and try doing fancy things.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
When Kevin Lee's name was brought up, I told everyone I thought this fight would happen. This is a good fight for me. It surprised me because nobody wants to fight in Brazil.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
The only thing Kevin Lee does better than me is talk and sell fights like that. I sell fights my own way, inside the cage.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I think Kevin Lee is an excellent fighter who fights well on the feet, has evolved in that area, but his strongest weapon is wrestling, not jiu-jitsu.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
Jim Miller is an important fight for me. It's just like any other fight, but it's important for me because Jim Miller was the first guy to defeat me.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
I think the only thing that happened when I fought Jim Miller is that I was a just kid, he had way more experience. I was winning the fight, landing punches and trying to get 10 submissions at the same time, and Jim Miller went for one attack only, a kneebar, and got it. His experience made the difference.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
In my first interview in the UFC, I asked them to throw me among the lions. I wanted to fight the best, and that's what the UFC did. Ex-champions, future champions - that's what I wanted.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
There are guys that just entered the UFC and people already talk about fighting for the belt. Guys that have one fight there and say call a jiu-jitsu phenom. They haven't done anything in the UFC yet to deserve all that attention.
Quote by -Charles Oliveira
To stay in the UFC while fighting top opponents... tell me one easy fight I had in the UFC. I have a history in the UFC.
