What is the nickname of UFC fighter Charles Oliveira?

The nickname of UFC fighter Charles Oliveira is “Do Bronx.” Oliveira is a Brazilian mixed martial artist from Guarujá, São Paulo, and the nickname reflects his upbringing in the Vicente de Carvalho neighborhood.

Oliveira has explained that “Bronx” was used in Brazilian slang to describe favelas and poorer outskirts, rather than referring literally to New York’s Bronx borough. The name emerged during his early jiu-jitsu competitions, when people associated him with the “guys from the Bronx” because of where he came from.

Oliveira began training Brazilian jiu-jitsu at age 12 and quickly became a successful competitor. His family helped support his training by selling snacks and collecting discarded cardboard. He later transitioned fully to mixed martial arts and became one of the UFC’s most accomplished submission specialists.

The nickname is often written as “Do Bronx,” “do Bronxs,” or “Charles do Bronx.” These forms refer to the same fighter; the spelling variation does not change the answer.
