I spoke about Charles Oliveira months ago after he defeated Kevin Lee. Already with an amazing ground game we watched him grow in his stand up and round all his skills out to the moment he stood across the cage against Tony Ferguson. The bumps from his time in Featherweight all lead to this past Saturday.

Once thought to be an all out battle was turned into a single handed performance by the man that was struggling to get a fight in the Top 10 of the Lightweight division this past Saturday. Charles “do Bronx” Oliveira dominated Tony Ferguson from beginning to end in impressive fashion. Oliveira took down, out strike, and controlled Ferguson at will for the whole fight.

This catapults him in the Top 5 as you can see below and the next man to fight for the title. Where do you place Charles Oliveira in your Lightweight Fan Rankings?
