Twenty-two year old Brazilian talent Charles "do Bronx" Oliveira (14-2-0) will be on the move to the UFC's featherweight division according to the fighter's manager, Wade Hampel, who spoke with MMA Junkie today.
"Charles hopes to return to action before the end of the year, if possible," Hampel said. "We're extremely excited to see what he can achieve at 145 pounds."
Hampel maintains that one day his client will fight considerably heavier, perhaps as high as 185lbs, but at just twenty-two and still growing, is said to have no problems cutting the additional weight after a test run proved successful.
"do Bronx" has been to decision only once in sixteen professional bouts with six [T]KOs and seven submissions on record. After suffering the first loss of his career to Jim Miller at UFC 124, Oliveira had a win against Nik Lentz over-turned to a 'no contest' when a commission review determined an illegal knee played a major factor in the fight's result. Oliveira last competed at UFC Live 5 where he was stopped on strikes by the red hot Donald Cerrone.
