Commentary: Why is Charles Oliveira so popular?

[Dana's Moonface]

Yes I'm a huge fan, despite my arguments of Islam beating him, I think he's great

Kill or be killed, that's Oliviera
He's a brilliant fighter, but I still think he loses the rematch. However, if I wrong? Happy days I have no problems admitting it

He is the most exciting guy on the roster, as you never know what to expect. His vulnerability adds to this

Great fighter

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

The reason why I like him is he comes to fight!! he always lets go. No point fighting BS. He lets go and has a variety of attack.. striking and grappling and he will leave himself open a lot too and doesn't play it safe. He is entertaining and fun to watch. I have always enjoyed his fight.. win or lose they were all entertaining.

 

[tbulls123]

exciting fighter and comes to fight. Great background story and he's beat the best of the best.

 

[EricSpider]

Because he is illuminated by god

 

[Rizzo]

He is all you can ask for out of a pro MMA fighter. He brings it every fight, win or lose. He will never be considered the GOAT like GSP but GSP also played it safe the second half of his career while Charlie Olives sacrifices himself to the just bleed Gods every single fight. He's a guy that came in undefeated with a ton of hype, became a gatekeeper of sorts, and was on a 2-4 slump before he went on his current 12-1 tear. I can't think of anyone else who has had the career he has had, he's basically Rocky in prime Rocky 3 mode right now.

 

[Travis Alexander]

Charles is the Just Bleed Goat that fans deserve and he is fucking ILLUMINATED right now!

He rose from being the talented young UFC prospect that they literally chucked into the deepest end of the pool and he has battled through blood, sweat and tears to becoming the greatest finisher in the UFC today using his array of tools. What’s not to love?

 

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

I was a fan until he lost to Islam then I thought he was can until he beat Dariush and now I'm a fan again.

I'll let you know whether I'm still a fan after the Islam rematch.

 

[Georges Hefner]

6.7m followers compared to Dariush 200k. That means he’s 36x more popular than Dariush

 

[Ripp0ntare]

exciting fights, well spoken, confident, active. What isn't there to like?

Sorry he doesnt paint his hair like a rainbow and lets other men plow his girl like some other fighters on the roster.

 

[alexrooster]

My #1 favorite fighter for years now. Came from nothing. He deserves all the success in the world. Hespect.

 

[Goober stoober]

Hasn’t been in a boring fight in a long time so it’s hard not get excited when he’s on the card

 

[mangokush]

He actually fights regularly so people don't forget about him and he actually comes to fight which the people love, none of this sparring match BS that happens alot in the UFC now

 

[Elvis.]

He comes from nothing and he fights with his heart

 

[Bork Neslar]

'Cos he brings it.

 

[jooohnmatrix]

Humble guy, fought against adversity his whole life.

Has an exciting style, is world class with his bjj skills.

Is a bit chinny and has lost before which adds to the overall excitement of watching him perform.

 

[Ladder Master]

People that use their BJJ to attack and finish are exciting.

 

[Joshuaace]

The gangly kid with the questionable heart that couldn't make weight like a Professional, redeemed himself and grew in to a bad Mofo.

 

[BigGing]

He's an absolute dog, how could you not like him. Especially these days where everyone sits for extended periods until they find that "perfect matchup"

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Was shocked when so many passed up this choice for "yes."

 

[jsbx45]

English isn't as important as hype-makers think it is. Some fans actually care about athleticism, skill and winning fights as opposed to what does or doesn't come out of a fighter's mouth. Crazy huh?
