Rated lower than Beneil Darius before UFC 289, but Charles Oliveira surprised everyone with his performance. Right from the first minutes of joining, “De Bronx” has completely overwhelmed Dariush thanks to the intense attack. He did not rely too much on the forte, but active striking.
Oliveira's effective combo combo helped him quickly beat Dariush in the first half of the match. Witnessing the Brazilian boxer constantly attacking Dariush and having many serious damage attacks, the referee had to intervene early. This victory not only helped Oliveira be eligible for belt, but also turned him into UFC's record.
The victory over Dariush helped Oliveira become the martial artist with the earliest victory in UFC history (20 matches). In addition, he is also the hottest fighter (19 times). It is a reward from the Fight of the Night titles and the Best match and the Performance of the Night.
Besides, with the victory over Dariush, Oliveira defeated all rivals in the top 5 UFC in the Lightweight weight class. Islam Makhachev was the last boxer Oliveira to overcome. In the match that took place at the end of last year, he was strangled by the opponent in the second half and had to tap out to lose.
In addition to the newly established records, Oliveira is holding a series of other UFC records as an expert on objects and tight locks:
– The most submission winning (16)
– Many of the most submission wins in the Lightweight weight class (10)
– Many of the most submission wins in the weight class (6)
