Many in the sports world wondered if Oliveira would rush back, but he proved to have no after-effects from the defeat.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I&#8217;m trying to hold back the tears right now. This is for you, the Brazilian fans. This is not about money, fame, or status. This is for Brazil.<\/p><cite>Charles Oliveira<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThis triumph further solidifies Oliveira&#8217;s legacy in the UFC, extending his records for finishes (21) and submissions (17).\n\nIn addition, he tied with Neil Magny on the list of most wins in UFC history with 24, surpassed only by Jim Miller (27).\n\nImmediately after his victory, Oliveira reiterated his proposal to face BMF champion and ranked lightweight Max Holloway, a fight that dates back to 2015.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Charles Oliveira, Max Holloway, BMF. Let&#8217;s make this happen.<\/p><cite>Charles Oliveira<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nFrom the start, Oliveira imposed his characteristic style. Although Gamrot managed a takedown in the first round, Oliveira responded with the threat of an omoplata to reverse the position and take his opponent&#8217;s back.\n\nIn the second round, Oliveira managed to connect a bodylock, lifting Gamrot and finally securing the submission.\n\nThis triumph had a special meaning for Oliveira, who had not been able to defend his title in Brazil.\n\nBefore this victory, Oliveira was already ranked as number 4 in the UFC lightweight division. Gamrot, for his part, occupied the number 8 position.\n\nHolloway is coming off a decision victory over Dustin Poirier in July. Following this fight, Holloway announced that he would likely take the rest of 2025 off due to a right hand injury.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles Oliveira Returns Triumphant in Rio de Janeiro In a spectacular return to his homeland, Charles Oliveira demonstrated his resilience and talent by submitting Mateusz Gamrot in the main event of the UFC Fight Night held at the Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
