The fact that the UFC doesn’t push him more with a story like this is beyond me.
Because its kinda tragic tho.
Because he can’t really talk English I think
Politics ? Possibly
Because he is not from an English speaking country...
Clearly you've not watched how Dana White runs things
Charles oliveira is the embodiment of the word "FIGHTER".
but fckd up and missed weight, now he is stripped and can't win the belt even though he win the fight
@@telo6739 its just a "title". If he wins this fight people will still consider him as the champ regardless.
@@telo6739 you think Charles is upset 🤡 he will win and be ready to take his title back
@@silent-v1896 against Islam Or Dariush idk I feel they both have better grappling than Charles jujitsu
@@silent-v1896 lol I like Charles, just put up the comment after "Charles oliveira is the embodiment of being a fighter." line lol when he just missed weight and got stripped. Hell, I might put some money even, depends on the odds, his BJJ is truly the best.
Most inspirational fighter in my opinion. Imagine being told you will never play sports and then becoming champion in the hardest sport of all time. What a guy.
Most inspiring fighter is Francis Ngannou period. Nobody can beat that guy sheer will grit and determination for where he has been now. 🙏🏻
@@mannyblackstar opinions
You choose your hero take inspiration and move ahead in ur life.
@@WARRIOR-uf8ov You really should see his documentary too, he had a similar journey & in my opinion, it was a lot more challenging & dangerous. I by no means am trying to belittle Oliveira's journey but Ngannou's was just more challenging & required sheer determination & will power.
@anshujha3871 I haven't seen it but I will but I'm going in biased. Hard to neat coming out of the slums of Brazil
"Life told me I'm worthless... look at where I am now, I'm the world champion brother!" - Charles "Do Bronx" Oliveira
gave me goosebumps..
at that part he is saying more, he said " worthless and also life told me i wouldn't even play ball (soccer)
we don't know the private lives of these fighters. Charles carries the hope of so many on his back, and he came out at the top.
Bronx New York was all I knew until this man came along
"Life told me I was worthless, but look where I am now" holy fkn goosebumps man.
He is the true GOAT. To overcome so much tragedies and hard life. Just how I see why DC is the light-heavyweight and heavyweight goat Khabib aint even close.... cant become a GOAT when almost all fights are decisions and you never gone from being a loser to a winner (IMO) That 0 losses doesnt mean anything, that is just privilege for fighting fighters who are out of their prime
@@vipr1142 Oh shut up please and just respect all of these fighters. They all have their own path
@@vipr1142 That's an objective viewpoint but valid. Seeing how a fighter overcomes loss is very much a real aspect of the sport. It's why people still clamour for guys like Silva and GSP as the GOATs. I wouldn;t say Khabib fought a bunch of guys out of their prime though. It's inevitable that every eventually does, but Khabib fought some real tough opponents.
@@DMark25 LOL Khabib fought Mcgregor that was out off the ring for 2-3 years , then Dustin & Justin. It took him 3 years ot do so. Charles beated the others within 6 months. It's CRAZY.
@@Lolife86 if Charles olivera beats islam easily then khabib name will be in debate for lightweight division goat for sure. I think khabib was the most dominant champion in lightweight division but his title defenses would be break by charles olivera.
This man has never been a quitter, people just haven’t seen all he’s had to fight through. The champ has a name, and it’s Charles Oliveira
uh, wrong uh, wrong uh, right, but cringy
@@dsy6238 typing verbal pauses like “uh” is ultimate cringe. Looks like some teenage girl is typing this shit.
@@dsy6238 🧂🧂
@@dsy6238 nah dude, your Cringey. Charles is the Champ and that's what's up. Get it right!
@@dsy6238 Why so salty?
When he said his father would say he already ate when he didn't to leave food for his kids, that hit home. Amazing to see this man become the champion he is.
Man as hard as it takes it's the reality of many families no surprise that the comunities that have hard living conditions suceed to greatness in sport
@@rufiahn8186 agreed!
It did. My mother did the same thing for a few tough years.
I'm binge watching your videos man. Beautiful content!
Good content for sure
Thanks man
the legend mike shake himself.
Thanks Milkshake 🥤
I really fucking hope he wins at 280
Man i cried. When he said: " Life told me I am worhless" I don't tear up often. This was So powerful.
"I'm humiliated by God"
He said, Life told me, You don't even want to be able to play the ball, Look where I am now I'm the world champion brother!
It is impossible not tear up after hearing those words from him!! Other fighters have no idea the suffering this man has endured. Quitting is not an option 4.. DO BRONX anymore.
@@YE-fx3we he doesn’t mean that one that he mentioned in a video. He’s talking about the post fight octagon interview
same... 😢 only one thing to do after that, prove life wrong. 👍🏼
Charles is the living proof of rocky Balboa line: "it's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit , and keep moving forward"
Isso aí, irmão. Muito parecida.
LETS GO CHARLES
Francis Ngannou too
Just take a minute and deeply think about what he said as a kid: If he can't be a normal kid he would rather die. That is not something a kid could comprehend, yet he said it. This man won at life, no matter if he is a UFC champion or not. Damn what a role model! Wish you best of luck Charles!
❤
i said the same shit and now im a potato lolol
Makes me feel so bad for complaining about anything i have dealt with here in the US. Life is soooo much harder elsewhere. Much respect to the man.
I'm from Brazil and his research is horrible, idk who you are or your experience, but he only put the reality of Rio while talking about S. Paulo, no image or documentary about São Paulo's favelas were shown, only Rio, and they're very different from one another. Also the lies about "violent police action", it's not like the drug dealers literally do terrorism in Brazil and have heavy armament that forces the police to go up a favela just to apprehend it. Another point at the start is the "military regime" thing, idk where this guy took this bs but it's a lie also. The history about the favelas are completely wrong too, this is not how every favela started, and not even how the first favela surged. Throughout the "documentarie" he will show and narrate several things about Rio that doesn't exist or have links to Charles history, specially since he's from São Paulo.
@@oole0111 was thinking the same bro, he made such a biased written script. But i liked Charles part
@@oole0111 i guess that was the British view of the favelas. He connected by context the favelas from SP and RJ, to give an idea to foreign people about favelas in brazil, no matter where, RJ, SP, or northeast brazil, bad places are bad places there, and it gives you the idea of how fucked up it is, and there is no way to compare to USA
100% brother, that is why they come desperate to the usa
After tonight’s fight I will be a Olivera fan for life, the way he dealt with ghaetje constantly telling him he’s a coward and a quitter, all the people putting him down for missing weight by .5 lbs on what was most likely a faulty scale, losing his ppv points and having to give part of his purse to Justin and getting stripped of his belt. He still believed in himself and let it motivate him instead of defeating him and just repeating I am the champion then winning the fight tonight that was so amazing to see, Charles is the definition of a fighter and a champion, thank you for putting the spotlight on him and another amazing video
I didn’t even know about his background but now that I do I know I was wrong for even thinking this recent controversy would do anything but motivate him
Having the whole arena against him , booing him all the way.
@Joetoy90 I mean with the way he fought , no one can say sh*t to him.
My man Charles was about to get Robb, he get up in the scale wearing underwear and get 155.5, he took off his underwear and the weight continue the same. Others fighters has comunicated the same problem with the scale. The plan of Money's White was a failure. There's one Champion, and he's name is Charles Oliveira "Do Bronx"
@@Lolife86 lol it was in Arizona so it was basically in Justin’s backyard. When Charles win he got cheers.
I cried a little at this. His story is textbook hero's journey. Man, thank you for bringing his story to such a high-level presentation.
I may have cried a little also.
@@TrevorYoungSierraLeone I am gonna be honest, I also may have cried a little too. I am happy for him like he is my relative...
Same🤧
I second that
I cried a lot
Man, I'm not ashame to admit I dropped a tear with this documentary.
Same Bro I love him from Philippines 🙏❤🇵🇭
As someone, who grew up in a peaceful living environment, this is just beyond me.
Same 😂😂😂
That quote at the end just broke me, "life told me I was worthless but look where I am now, i'm a world champion, brother!"
Watching this after he defeated Gaethje in the 1st round. Now I understand how in the hell he gets back up again after getting almost knocked out. Charles has gone through a lot of pain both emotionally and physically. So getting knocked down by a punch is nothing for him.There's a saying tough situations make tough men. Mad respect for brother Charles for inspiring me. I just had an ACL injury a month back while wrestling in a MMA gym. After watching this documentary I believe I can come back again and it's not over yet for me. Thank you for this documentary. You did an outstanding work. You have no idea how it's going to inspire so many people in their lives. 🙏
And Justin called him quitter... Dude has bigger win streak(11) than Justin fights in UFC(10, and dude is 6-4 and has lost 2 fights in his last 3)
@@imma5761 nerd
Chandler should have beat him imo, Dan was slow getting across the ring, could have been called there
*YOU WILL COME BACK* there's no doubt about that. My prayers are gonna be for you from now on.
its not over for you brother 🙏🏼
Not going to lie I teared up there. This mans story is so inspiring, and its so great to see his win streak continue!
Likewise my guy.
me too
Dude me too! Almost cried like baby. I had no clue of his childhood. I always bet on this man before he was champ, even tho I hated his persona. Now it all makes sense, there’s nothing to dislike. He’s unbeatable.
Fck i also cried when he said “life said i was worthless now im world champion”… Omg
I was in absolute tears
At the end....showing Charles crying while the belt is being wrapped around his waist then cutting to all of his losses and that look in his eyes had me in tears of pure joy😭 Those eyes of his loses were the REALIST eyes of consequence, knowing the very life of he and his family is on the line ...a true champion is measured by how he deals with adversary...
I'm not gonna lie. I cried that part 🙏
1:03 Suffered defeat 3:24 2 years in hospital 3:53 I'd rather die 4:34 Charles' house in the favela 4:54 Father never let him starve 10:37 Dedication to his teacher 11:53 Paralyzed 13:28 Recovering from being paralysis 18:35 Life told me I was worthless
Charles has unbelievable parents. The love and motivation to both work two jobs while spending the spare time in hospital with Charles shows where Charles got his determination from. THE CHAMPION HAS A NAME AND ITS CHARLES OLIVIERA
You said well, mate ! cheers
amen brother
NO exageration. This is literally the best documentary video I've seen in my entire life. As a Brazilian it warms my heart so fucking much to see what my boy Charles achieved and will keep achieving. Thankfully I've never lived in a favela, but I know how life can be there and showing this in the video solidifies why Charles' mindset is impenetrable. The champ has a name.
❤️
Sinceramente o audiovisual é ótimo, mas eles colocarem majoritariamente problemas do Rj como se fosse a realidade das comunidades de são Paulo é muito ruim pra dar credibilidade ao autor do vídeo, fica quase sensasionalista ele passar o problema de uma cidade pra realidade de todo um país.
Caraca mano, foi bem ruim, toda vez que não tem o Charles na tela ele ta falando do rio como se tivesse ligação direta com a história do cara e como se o Rio fosse o Brasil, perturbador esse jornalismo do cara.
@@petrusradames3544 acho q isso é se ater um pouco aos detalhes irmão. Realmente o bixo passou imagens e reportagens de favelas do Rio, mas apesar de em SP não ser cenário de guerra q nem no RJ, ainda assim é uma situação de vida bem precária. Acho q ele quis demonstrar como isso fortaleceu o Charles, a mentalidade do favelado que levanta todo dia pra trampar msm sabendo que o mundo tá contra ele.
@@youtubeuser98 que exagero hein fih? O autor cometeu esse erro mostrando imagens e reportagens de favela no Rio, mas é um detalhe meio pequeno se tu for parar pra analisar além da superfície oq ele tá querendo dizer mostrando isso. Além disso, ele n fala em momento algum que o Charles morou no Rio, ele claramente se confundiu na pesquisa e botou essas parada sem ter o conhecimento socioeconômico do Brasil, o que acho q é pedir um pouco demais sei lá.
The way you can hear his voice saying 'life told me I was worthless, but look at where I'm now, I'm the world champion' sends shivers down my spine and shakes the foundation of my soul.. what a moment, what an incredible human being
He will never be the same. The champ has a name
When I looked at his picture the first time the first thing came to my mind was "damn, this guy must have gone through some crazy shit". There are some people whose lives just straight up reflect on their faces.
The last part between Charles and Chandler and Favela vs Police is something else. More like this please 🙏

Oliveria is such an inspiration he has inspired me and many others, To think this dude had a bad medical condition which the doctors said he can never do any athletic sports, and growing up in a poor environment in brazil to now be the lightweight champion of the world is so inspirational to watch, also great video man always a joy to watch.
Oliveria is the new peoples champion. I am rotting for Charlie MF Olives this weekend
Brazilian fighters are built different, Hélio Gracie couldn't do more than 1 pull up or push up so he basically invented the movements of modern bjj and destroyed opponents twice his size
@@jagzin6147 that true
Its so sad that he missed weight
@@marcomiller5146 genuinely cried a little, what is this world?
This man is my actual hero. I’m British as they come. Greatness transcends language. I’ve been an avid MMA fan since UFC 40. I saw him rise from the bottom. And they may have stripped him of his belt but we all know it was unfair, we all know who the real champion is belt or no belt. Legend. He embodies being a champion. It’s not around his waist, it’s in his heart. He is the Brazilian Nick Diaz. I can think of no higher compliment than that.
@@timo-de5vr He seems to have this new style of walking people down and lots of pressure. And he’s doing it to people like Michael Chandler, Justin, Dustin, Tony. They are all high output dangerous fighters. His boxing is really impressive and he has good Muay Thai. People will get tired and shocked by the pace. Nick diaz was similar in that he fought with crisp pressure boxing, did it to people who he supposedly shouldn’t have, got knocked down, got back up and beat them on the feet. If they were tired or took him down they were at MASSIVE RISK, he wasn’t much of a ground and pounder either. He got so many guys that way.
Being called a Nick Diaz is barely a compliment let alone the ultimate compliment lmaoo
@@mushroom11g55 That’s your opinion.
@@timo-de5vr As I’m fully aware. Been an avid MMA fan since UFC 40 Vendetta. It has evolved though. It always evolves.
@@mushroom11g55 how can you say that? Back in the day Nick Diaz was a SERIOUSLY elite fighter.
18:55 “Everyone has dreams. The favela is full of them.” Gave me goosebumps
I swear this video is better than a lot of movies man. The last part of the video, with the music and cutting between the reality of the favela with the constant conflict between the criminals and the police where the civilians get caught in the crossfire and Charles fighting was absolutely incredible

In SP they have PCC the same way they have CV in RJ bro... both are bad, RJ is known internationally but SP it is INDEED dangerous and bad, dont forget the carckland/zombieland its in SP @@oole0111
I have to admit that i cried a little at the end of this. What a great documentary, marvelous storytelling. Loved every bit of it. Congratulations brother.
I felt that...
welcome to the club
Same bro
Same
Dawg I was bawling I’m a whole bitch but godamn that shit was inspiring
Charles' story is the hero's saga: a nobody who lives in poverty, finds a mentor, trains hard and, in the end, wins. What a beautiful story.
Man's needs an Animated series to motivate the Young kids in Brazil. I. This difficult World. We all need Hope, and Charles fights and resembles that through his perseverance.
dont forget to mention that the mentor dies before he sees his pupil succeed.
Something that grows sadder and sadder in my heart is that most people over Brazil think BJJ or any grappling type of combat is "gay" and only boxing is... OK, and that's very sad. Usually older people or people that has no knowledge about any combat thing.
@@abaddon130 Jiu jitso no Brasil é caro meu amigo, não é questão de ser coisa de "gay" não, aqui só faz quem tem dinheiro pra pagar as mensalidades. Óbvio que tem um projeto social aqui e ali mas não é abundante. A nata do Jiu jitso pensou mais em dinheiro do que fazer ser difundido no país, tanto que levaram tudo para os EUA e ganhar o valioso dólar! Estou me referindo a família Graice.
Charles getting the belt is by far my favorite moment of a fighter becoming champ. Seeing the moment where it all sinks in after the euphoria starts to dissolve, and he starts to cry.. He’s such a champ, with or without the belt.
Absolutely the same. I keep rewatching and rewatching that moment, How he ran right to the commentary booth, how happy Joe Rogan is for him, how he couldn't control his emotions. It's amazing to watch that moment while knowing his background.
This is by far one of the most inspirational stories of a champion in the UFC, and sport in general. “The favela has won.” What a story.
The 16:28-19:29 part is the best cinematographic part I've ever seen, even better of some films. A true inspirational masterpiece. 🇮🇹❤️🇧🇷
I love Charles do bronx is beautiful amazing
Absolutely agree, so moving, i was in tears watching that shit.
One of the best documentarians on this site. So so so damn good at his craft
Hai ragione, proprio bella!!!
Beyond 100% agreed
Thank god someone covered Charles olivera’s injury from the Holloway fight in English for these mma fans to truly grasp the severity of the situation he was facing as he truly believed he was gonna be paralyzed for life on half of his body….. the language barrier has kept his unreal story from us English speakers… dude you know just what story to tell when every other mma channel completely fails to see these type of story’s. Idk how the ufc hasn’t covered his story more in depth.
Coming back to this after he just beat Beneil. This deserves way more views. Charles is truly a great figher but also a great human being.
I’m Brazilian and I’m touched by the way you were able to capture the reality of the favelas here. What a freakin good documentary!
Just for those who might interest, the Police Pacification Unit, or as we called here UPP, were initially a “good” program. The police drove the organized crime away from the favela, unfortunately at the cost of lots civilian lives. But the thing is, after that the Government, the State it self, did not occupy the favelas. The void left by the organized crime was filled with enough projects to really make a difference in those people lives. They were really left behind. So, soon enough, the Organized Crime came again, corrupting and killing the police man and reestablishing the former status quo. This goes fucking deeper, because the organized crime in the favelas works in political campaigns, collecting and demanding votes from the people for the politician who “sided” with them.
I'm from Brazil and his research is horrible, idk who you are or your experience, but he only put the reality of Rio while talking about S.

BraziL is a joke "country" and will be. Full of evil people. 😎
Just watched the Ngannou documentary back, as I routinely do; brought me to tears again, like it does every time. And now this, man we can’t thank you enough for these documentaries, you should reach out to the UFC, seriously, they’re the best in the game. It’s crazy how these videos don’t get monetized because of copyright. Again, can’t thank you enough, can’t wait to watch this one.
Amazing stuff
Bro give me the link....😭😭😭I want to watch it..
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 12:48 - Pay attention !!!! It's not the police who are killing innocent people. It is the criminals themselves who shoot at random without any care. In the video itself 8:14 " shows a bandit on the hill shooting anywhere, this shot takes innocent people and kills people 14:32 - The president just came in and you're talking as if he was the culprit. Are you crazy???? Talking bad about the president like that. Brazil was in the shit with the COMMUNIST presidents DILMA AND LULA. Crimes and deaths in the past were gigantic and now you put together a video blaming the current president? President Bolsonaro is trying to correct past management mistakes. For the love of God !!!! You put parts of videos of the president completely out of context and out of the current moment in Brazil. In the video it appears that the current president is to blame for the deaths. I did not like that !! Seriously, in this part you sinned a lot. 😡😡😡😡😡 Search on google: Jose Aldo and Bolsonaro You will see an MMA legend along with the current president. José Aldo would never date a bad person. For the love of God. Let's put our hand on conscience and make honest personal video. 16:29 - In this part the president is talking about fighting the bad guys the same way you fight in the USA. Once again you are inserting parts of President Bolsonaro's speeches out of any context for the purpose of the video. Even Charles Oliveira likes the current president, just like the UFC's Jose Aldo and Paulo Costa like the president. 😡😡😡 You are using the story of Charles Oliveira as an ideological political springboard to speak ill of the president of Brazil. Speaks seriously. You are cowards.
It don't get monetized?
Such an inspiring human being, I wish him the best. Immediately started to cry when he said: "Life told me I was worthless, but look where I am now."
That was powerful
I love the fact that Gaethje was calling this man a quitter and Charles just knocked him down and made him quit himself
"Life told me I'm worthless... look at where I am now, I'm the world champion brother!" -The most inspirational quote in ufc history
"Life told me I'm usless...look at me now" Watching him and Moreno win the belt were some of the greatest moments in ufc history for me. I truly love that this sport let's you manifest all of your darkness into a physical object for you to have a war with. What an amazing story and person. A lot of us are stuck working jobs fighting fights we're we never even get to swing back.
ngannou too...that dude came from hell
Well said 🙏🏼
I'm Brazilian, and actually the translation for what he said should be: life told me I wouldn't even be able to play football, and look where I am today, I'm a world champion, brother.
@@dlmbarbosa very cool! Thanks!
For general comprehension, the given translation fits the purpose.
As a grown man that was emotional, Charles is the definition of hope for the struggling people around there world. A true champ !
Most definitely. Great person and amazing fighter.
16:55 this part always gives me chills and is why I love Charles so much. I really hope he's able to get the title again
"The Final Stand" part is absolutely phenomenal. The editing, the music, the scenes... Top-notch. Hats off to you, Patrick.
This was beautiful, Patrick. I love these documentaries and now you’ve covered my #1 favorite UFC fighter, actual chills. I remember meeting Charles a few weeks ago at UFC 273, and I told him in Portuguese how he is an inspiration to me and so many. He smiled so wide and pat my belly before taking a picture with me. The energy and sheer will is so palpable when you meet this man, and I truly believe Do Bronx will make history in the UFC. Hell, he already has. A Favela Venceu 🇧🇷
I met Charles and he's so happy and smiles, he gave me a high five.😎
The man is the embodiment of "smile in the face of demise". I'm a proud Oliveira myself (thanks mom).
He reminds me of Minotauro, another Brazilian warrior who was run over by a truck when he was a kid and was supposedly told he won't be able to walk, but he overcame that and became a legend. Great video btw!
This is the content the UFC should be putting out before fights. This is world class work!!!
I have been a fan of Charles Oliviera since UCF started. I'm Somalian, and I have full respect for DO BRONX.my friends always say why you watch UFC or MMA, but it gives me courage, hangry, and dedication because my storyline links with Oliveira. identical place of violence, poor, hate, corruption, no food, and no water(SOMALIA). Alhamdulillah, I'm chasing one of my dreams(a master's program), while having finished one.🙏
Dude, lets be honest here: You only have 83k Subs but I can tell you gonna have a few million in near future. I've seen a lot of documentaries about different sports but the quality and way you are doing it is just excellent. Keep on the good work, I appreciate the effort!
He does a great job if he's writing the scripts, but honestly I'd rather see less of him in this vid, given the serious subject matter. It was a little shameless self promotion. Little tasteless
Fucking world class

@@semconexao8119 ha tá, o gringo sabe mais que voce, que coisa viu kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Charles Oliveira deserves to be the world champion after all this long suffering and hardship. Another powerful video, well presented and full of emotions, well done Patrick
He deserves it because of all his hard work, life doesn’t owe you anything. He’s a spectacular person and fighter.
True
Title - Changed Thumbnail- Changed Good-JOB
Fun fact : this video was titled "The poor man who conquered the favelas"
Yea he’s changed it so many times
loved the documentary, but just a heads up, the favelas that Charles was raised in aren't as violent as Rio favelas, which are by far the most violent in the country, it's there where we have this "warfare" between criminal factions and police since forever, but even nowadays things are way more controlled in these places in Rio than it was before, i'm just saying this because your explanation of what happens in Brazil (which unlike majority of foreigners think isn't only Rio de Janeiro but a huge country with more than 213 million people and a bunch of other big cities) is very exaggerated in some parts and focus mostly in Rio as always, we don't live in a warzone, yes there are violence problems in the whole country but not to that extent, even in Rio crime is mostly in the favelas, the problem with Charles upbringing was much more related to poverty which is actually the biggest problem in these communities than actually with violence, favelas are similar to american ghettos, high poverty and violence, but not an actual war like a lot of foreigners think, that's not true, and btw not all favelas are structured as the ones in Rio, we just call every poor community a Favela nowadays TL;DR: the favelas from where Charles came from aren't the same as the ones shown in this documentary, they're poverty ridden but not as violent or dominated from factions like the ones in Rio, and favelas aren't all structured the same, nowadays the definition of favelas are just very poor communities
obrigado, eu estava com isso preso na garganta
Exatamente, mano, isso até me tirou um pouco do documentário, porque ele não é do Rio, pô.
@@brendonl9755 Eu tava procurando um comentário dizendo isso kkk, mas o papo que ele deu de que no Brasil não vivemos em uma guerra vai muito de onde se vive, pois aqui no RJ é uma guerra sim, e bizarro, em SP nem tanto pq o PCC é bem mais estruturado e tem muito mais peças na política que as facções do rj+milícia, porém ainda sim é violento, só tem menos repressão policial, Brasil ta foda irmão, e pra nós é muito gratificante ver um dos nossos que venceu, mesmo que eu seja um pouco mais privilegiado, e não ter crescido em um ambiente tão violento, me sinto muito representado. O campeão tem um nome, Charles Oliveira.
@@diegreen_ Concordo plenamente, mano! É que sou de Guarujá, cidade do Charles, fiquei até confuso à medida que vi toda a guerra mostrada no vídeo e já percebi que fizeram confusão. Charles era da favela, talvez os gringos achem que favela é Rio apenas. Mas Brasil, é muito gratificante ver um dos nossos vencer!!
Favelas in Rio are straight up war zones
I am so inspired by Charles’ life story. My favorite UFC champion, love what he does for his country. He never left once he got the money, he loves Brazil regardless of the political climate. He gives the people hope to do great things. He will go down in the hall of fame 👊
When Charles returns to Brazil, it's like a light turning on in a dark alley. He is an inspiration and it all comes from God. What a beauty Charles is. Amazing.
The ene tears after the belt on his shoulder......true emotional😢
I wonder if at least half of the people that call Charles a "quitter" could have lived and overcome a quarter of what he has endured to get to were he is at.
I remember when I first saw the picture of him with the belt around his waist, and him in tears. Struck such a cord with me, and prior to knowing his story, you could tell his tears meant something. I can’t help but cry watching this because he’s been through so much. What a fighter.
I think him coming from such a supportive and goodwilled family help contribute to his success. Imagine losing your coach to violence and being surrounded by it since childhood. It’s too easy to go out in anger and ruin your life. All the positives couldn’t have come to a better individual and family.
Putting the tremendous story that is Charles' life aside. What you are doing with these documentaries is mind blowing. The editing, the music composition, the story telling as a whole! This is genuinely better than a large majority of Netflix documentaries. Thank you my guy and I hope you enjoy the successes that I am sure are coming your way. It is a travesty you don't have millions of subs. Much love.
I'm from Brazil and his research is horrible, idk who you are or your experience, but he only put the reality of Rio while talking about S. Paulo, no image or documentary about São Paulo's favelas were shown, only Rio, and they're very different from one another. Also the lies about "violent police action", it's not like the drug dealers literally do terrorism in Brazil and have heavy armament that forces the police to go up a favela just to apprehend it. Another point at the start is the "military regime" thing, idk where this guy took this bs but it's a lie also. The history about the favelas are completely wrong too, this is not how every favela started, and not even how the first favela surged. Throughout the "documentarie" he will show and narrate several things about Rio that doesn't exist or have links to Charles history, specially since he's from São Paulo.

Brah, your editing is beyond emotional. I was legit crying by the end of this video. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍
Tough not to get emotional watching that. I’m an American through and through but I was sincerely rooting for Oliveira vs Chandler and Poirier and I hope he humbles Gaethje on Saturday. You can see the pain in his eyes but he’s done nothing but work hard. Heart goes out to Brazil, Ukraine and all the other countries in the world going through hardships.
funny how u didnt mention countries like palestine just because the USA is supporting genocides against them.
He made Justin quit.
This comment aged well
@@roberjohnsmith thanks boss. Made me so happy when Charles made Gaethje tap. Gaethje is a piece of garbage person. Arrogant, cocky, disrespectful, rude, obnoxious and lacking humility. Thinking about him being champ after everything he said about Oliveira made me sick. Gaethje is now 6-4 in the UFC and has had 2 shots at the undisputed LW title. Tony Ferguson was 19-2 in the UFC and never got that title shot
Brazil loves USA bro, ty for words
Charles 'the Lion' Oliveira is a true warrior. What a beast mentality this guy has. One of the most inspirational stories in UFC history.
Charles "No one can hit me harder than life" Khabib and Islam like Charles very much they both ran to Charles to console him after the loss to Islam. Charles is a true Champion
This was an insanely well done work by you Patrick. I love how resilient and a big dreamer Charles is. thank for displaying his Heart and Will in this documentary also thank you for reporting on the situation in Brazil with the corruption, the favelas, the guns and crimes.. it was so heartbreaking but at the same time truly inspiring to see Charles accomplishments.

This brought me to tears. I can’t lie. Thank you for doing this man justice 🙏🏼
I'm Brazilian and I can say that Charles represents a suffering people, who live in one of the most beautiful, but tough countries in the world, and who build true warriors! Thank you for showing a little bit of our reality, but no sadness can take away our happiness and like Charles we Brazilians never give up.
stop electing dictators and take your country back
I think Diversity leads to many problems their is no unity and everyon think about themselves
Favelas venced.... My brother....

@@oole0111 Só um brasileiro como nós consegue saber a diferença entre uma favela carioca e paulista, para os gringos tudo é favela e as do Rio são mais fáceis para exemplificar.
Bro this is one of the most inspiring and beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time… the editing and everything.. I’m not crying 👀
Why do we fall, so we learn and pick ourselves up. A perfect derived example. Love you brother get stronger soon Do Bronx💪
I never knew Oliveras past was so tragic. Such a greatly produced and incredible video.
Charles story to his road to the UFC belt is incredible. I hope he stays UFC champ for a very long time in the already stacked division. Great humble family man I wish him the best!
i always come back to this video when i feel sad or sorry for myself. when i need something to relate to, when i need motivation or an example to look up to. so inspiring to see someone overcome such adversity and never stop coming forward. he faced hardships and chose to represent his country, his community, and his martial art in the best way possible. makes me so proud to be a practitioner of the sport of brazilian jiu jitsu.
Yo your documentaries are literally so well done it's unbelievably wonderful, your talent for this is unrivaled on this platform! excited to see what the future holds for you!
Another masterpiece, Mr. Gavia. I'm subscribed to quite a few MMA centered KZhead channels, but none of the others make videos that send me through the full spectrum of emotions like yours do. Really brilliant stuff, seriously. I'm already looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Stephen!
@@PatrickGavia you gotta make another one after his win against Gaethje!
@@PatrickGavia That final montage was absolutely masterful. Made me cry.
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 12:48 - Pay attention !!!! It's not the police who are killing innocent people. It is the criminals themselves who shoot at random without any care. In the video itself 8:14 " shows a bandit on the hill shooting anywhere, this shot takes innocent people and kills people. 14:32 - The president just came in and you're talking as if he was the culprit. Are you crazy???? Talking bad about the president like that. Brazil was in the shit with the COMMUNIST presidents DILMA AND LULA. Crimes and deaths in the past were gigantic and now you put together a video blaming the current president? President Bolsonaro is trying to correct past management mistakes. For the love of God !!!! You put parts of videos of the president completely out of context and out of the current moment in Brazil. In the video it appears that the current president is to blame for the deaths. I did not like that !! Seriously, in this part you sinned a lot. 😡😡😡😡😡 Search on google: Jose Aldo and Bolsonaro You will see an MMA legend along with the current president. José Aldo would never date a bad person. For the love of God. Let's put our hand on conscience and make honest personal video. 16:29 - In this part the president is talking about fighting the bad guys the same way you fight in the USA. Once again you are inserting parts of President Bolsonaro's speeches out of any context for the purpose of the video. Even Charles Oliveira likes the current president, just like the UFC's Jose Aldo and Paulo Costa like the president. 😡😡😡 You are using the story of Charles Oliveira as an ideological political springboard to speak ill of the president of Brazil. Speaks seriously. You are cowards.

Damn near brought me to tears. There’s nothing like a story of seemingly endless failure only to rise all the same.
KZhead randomly placed these onto me. After just watching 3 I now subscribed and I'm really enjoying the way you put them together, so emotional, so deep! Thank you for these!
Patrick, I just want to thank you for using something as captivating as the UFC to bring light to social issues that go unnoticed by many people. Even if indirectly, it’s a really important part of these documentaries and I’m really happy you’ve done this. Your Ngannou doucmentary even inspired me to volunteer with Red Cross and UNICEF. Thank you.
Man how proud would his father be when he hears him say “I never starved. My father never allowed it”
I'm Brazilian and I need to make a correction, all the scenes, testimonials, and information you used about the Favelas are from Rio de Janeiro, Charles is from São Paulo and the favelas there are very different. Foreigners won't see the difference, but the problem is that it will give a wrong view of his history. Perhaps it would have been better to focus on Charles' story or do more research. Anyway, thanks for supporting our champion. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Ahora ustedes exportaron la delincuencia de sus favelas para mi país, Paraguay... por culpa de Brasil ahora Paraguay se convirtio en la nueva casa del PCC y Comando Vermelho!
@@diegoescobar4440 os criminosos do paraguai traficavam e traficam armas e drogas para o Brasil a anos, vocês já exportaram muita violência para cá também
@@diegoescobar4440 La guerra que tu “heroe” solano lopez hizo es uno de los motivos de haber favelas
The emotional drama was too much. He is not from Rio.
Kkkkkkk que mentira do caralho Apareceu várias cenas de SP Só pesquisar no KZhead que vai ver O RJ aparece mais pq é a cidade com mais favelas no Brasil
Just recently started getting in to being a fan of UFC/MMA more seriously now and your videos came up on my recommendations. You have some of the best production quality I have seen from the fighting category of KZhead! Don't take this as a slight but I'm surprised you don't have more subs, it's mind blowing! I can definitely see the hard work and passion you out in to these series! Wish you continued growth and success, thanks for the amazing content!
There are several great MMA documentary channels, but this has to be my favorite. Pat knows how to evoke emotion from the viewer. So good.
As a Brazilian it is always a great pride to remember the history of charles, he is an example of the warrior people of our country. charles oliveira is like that mythological monster that if you cut off one head, two will be born, he is an example of resilience and constant evolution. the video is great, but you connected his story with the favelas of rio de janeiro, which is another city in another state. congratulations for the work!
Yes, very cliché. Brazil is not only Rio.
Yeap! Made no sense the connection between the UPPs and Olympics to where he grew up (guaruja, sao paulo)
O cara é gringo, já era de se esperar a falta de noção sobre nosso país, e pintou o RJ como inferno e a PM como vilães sendo que aqui a história é muito diferente
Apesar do erro na localização, a violência policial está muito presente em São Paulo também. Acho que a mensagem ainda é válida, o morador da comunidade é muitas vezes antagonizado pelo crime e pela polícia, sair dessa situação e se tornar um campeão é uma história linda
@Rick Onde isso contradiz o que eu falei? o povo é reprimido pela bandidagem e pela polícia, dois erros não fazem um acerto. A polícia é excessivamente violenta e truculenta. "Pobre assassina pobre por causa de celular" parabéns, você entendeu que onde há muita desigualdade o crime dispara
Oliviera is going to be a lightweight GOAT, he already is IMO. He’s so talented and has a pure heart. His story is so inspiring to many. He’s gone through so much adversity and it’s motivated him even more. Champ has a name, and his name is Charles Oliveira 🖤
Wow this touched my heart and you have got yourself a new sub. I love Charles Oliveira. His determination & Heart for what he’s been through to succeed is crazy.
I just discovered your work yesterday and i already watched all your videos, this channel is pure gold, keep on working you are going places with this!!
Seeing his story and where he came from is incredible Oliveira came from the chaos of the favelas to be now a world champion.The champ has a name, and its Charles Oliveira!
Oliveria's story is such an inspiration, like many UFC fighters. God bless this sport. This channel's video's never cease to make me feel ways about stuff. Bravo!
Oliveira is not just Lightweight champion, he is MY champion. Bravo Oliveira.
Charles is the best person that i have ever seen... the subtitles dont make you feel like the real feeling of understanding him in Portuguese, he has such a humble and simple way of speaking when you know the language, you can tell that he had a poor but very well raised background, from the favela but the good aspect of it, the spirit... you can tell he has a good pure soul. i wish him all the best.
19:41 minutes and i was crying. Charles had really all odds against him. You eared a subscribe with this one. I hope you never stop making these. The most awesome way to get to know the fighters and the fights will mean so much more and have more impact now.
Is that you Jiri?
Thank you for this, Charles just missed weight and my prayers go out to this warrior. Honestly, I’m routing for him vs Justin Gaethje. Always been a fan of Justin but Charles is the definition of a man who has overcome all odds and is still facing them.
And it’s him again. The lightweight champ has a name, Charles do Bronx. Like we used to said in Brazil, tudo nosso nada deles.
Your stuff is fire man! Couldn't have done a better job with this man's incredible story. And in 20 minutes too!
What an amazing story and the way this thing was edited especially in those final minutes was truly powerful. Instant sub
Dude you are helping me understand this sport and thank you for that! I used to think mma is sport full of bullies and tough guys who prove their dominance by fighting similar people but boy was I wrong these fighters are larger than life the backgrounds they come from the motives behind their fighting spirit is just beautiful.
Having spent the last month in Brazil, I respect Olivera even more than I already did. Life here is so tough for a lot people. To get out and become a world champion is amazing
He is my favorite fighter. I've literally watched all of his fights three times or more he's a huge inspiration And his story is Amazing
Although Charles has had issues in the past (losses, weight misses), his journey to the top is a truly inspirational story. Excellently documented as always Patrick 👏
This made me emotional. What a story. I wish oy success for this man. To overcome such adversity and become champ is absolutely Inspiring. They should show stories like this to those that feel they will never achieve their dreams or amount to nothing. Anything is possible.
Saw this was uploaded a minute after I started my lunch break and immediately clicked. Your videos are so well researched and put together. Your hard work does not go unnoticed and I cannot wait for the next one. Phenomenal work as always!! 😊
Bon appétit!
Binge watching your videos.. so well put together, amazing info, and inspirational. Simply amazing 👏🏿
Csarles's story has to be one of the most grueling success stories. He was at all odds. 99.9% would have never pushed through their coach passing or to get out of such a saturated slum environment. What a champion he is. I hope he can overcome and become champion once again. I have nothing but love and support for his successes.
