I speak Portuguese and I can say that this translator Charles is the best translator in the whole world, he does his best to translate 100% correctly Unlike Alex Pereira's translator, who is one of the worst translators in the world

Concordo Bolsonarista o Charles vai ser campeão

[@MatheusSantos-oo7cd]

I'm Brazilian and that's why i like Charles, but i aways wondered why Americans also like him. Maybe it's because Oliveira's journey to success hasn't been without its challenges. He has faced setbacks and adversity throughout his career, including losses and personal struggles. People admire his resilience and determination to overcome obstacles. Oliveira is known for his humble demeanor and sportsmanship inside and outside the Octagon. He often displays respect towards his opponents, which resonates with many fans. It's the perfect underdog history. It's the cinderela history.

[@storikobane]

As an American, I like Charles because of the way he fights.. and also seems like a genuine person even with the language barrier

[@opietaylor5778]

I’m sure ppl say that.. but let’s be honest it’s because that mf is kill or be killed.

[@zootfools4522]

He shows that he cares for the fans, has great energy around him.. has a slick voice behind em.. fights like he needs the finish.. fought off almost all 155, stacked division// why wouldnt americans love him? Same with poatan// language is nothing but different words we all are human

[@CrawlingNYourSkull1]

Charles is humble, hardworker, goes to finish his war. What American cannot respect that?

[@notalot22]

He just exudes a good energy. His good nature plus the style of his fighting makes him my favorite fighter. He shows his emotions and isn't fake.

[@cesare4926]

[@zacharyhullender8663]

The Charles that has had time to refresh himself with personal time is a dangerous one. Most of you were probably unaware of how he was pressured into fighting islam after having a very active year. His vibe was completely different leading up to that fight.

[@vitinhosilva1805]

True.

[@BillyC1118]

Absolutely

[@davidphillips1845]

Dana pushed him to defend his title in Dubai against an Islam who only had 1 top 10 win against a striker on a losing streak.

[@rajkhan9643]

What do you mean after "a very active year?" He was fighting twice per calendar year, the same as Islam. Actually Islam has been more active than Charles. Since 2021, Islam fought 7 times and has his 8th fight booked while Charles has fought 6.
