'Do Bronx' is known for having one of the most notorious staredowns in combat sports whenever he is in a face-off against his opponents. Hence, one might wonder what causes the Brazilian, who is otherwise a humble person, to turn into such a beast when he faces off against his opponents. While speaking to Full Violence, the former UFC lightweight champion stated that he thinks about his troubled upbringing and the times when he was doubted by others when he goes face-to-face with an opponent ahead of a fight. Here's what the Brazilian stated in his interview: "I think back bro. I think about back then about everything I went through. The times my mom and dad didn't have anything to eat. All the times I heard I was never gonna make it. My dad and my brother. My dad like will ask people for help and they'll say, 'I'll help because we're friends. But he's never gonna make it.' You know, I heard that so many times." View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Charles Oliveira grew up in the favelas of Brazil and had a very tough upbringing. With limited family resources, the Brazilian didn't have a luxurious life growing up. There were also doubts about his ability to transition into a successful MMA fighter. Despite being a highly touted prospect, his early UFC career was full of roadblocks. He went 10-8 in the organization in his first 18 fights. However, Oliveira turned the stars in his favor and is currently on a 11-fight winning streak that has also seen him capture the UFC championship.
