Now I know why Charles was so emotional when he won the belt. I never want to see Charles lose again, his story is better than a Hollywood movie

"Nothing in this world is going to hit me harder than life already did." That line from Charles really hit home with me. If all of this tragedy didn't break him, then how the hell is one human being going to break him.

What i took from this was that Charles' mother, father and the coach that offered him free training were the most important influences in his life that led him down the path he took. Seemed like his mother and father were such amazing people. They say you cant choose your family, but if you could, id imagine you would want parents of the same calibre and quality of Charles' mother and father.

I love how humble Charles is, a salt of the Earth character, his parents achieved in building a good person.

Charles has honestly become my favourite fighter. The combination of his skills, fighting style and incredible life story, its absolutely amazing.

Probably the best feel good story in my opinion. Coming in 10-0 to the UFC and being a promising contender, to facing adversity and being considered a 50-50 fighter. Was able to preserver and stay consistent. Today I regard him as the best p4p offensive fighter in mma… already holding crazy records in the organization and only being in his early 30’s

This is honestly one of the most beautiful stories I've heard in my whole life. Wept the whole time. You the man, Charles. You too Molly for putting this together. Genius.

Charles is everything I love about Brazilian athletes (footballers, fighters, skaters ) they all have flair for the dramatic , always technical and explosive

How can you not love this man. He's whole story is a real life movie. Waiting to be made. Many in the UFC live that. It's amazing. I will remain saying this and may Charles make this age well plz. Charles DO BRONX Oliveira the greatest finisher alive.

As usual the quality of your content is breathtaking, every single time i'm left in awe at the effort you put in to these video's. Your a testament to someone mastering their craft. They are always inspiring, thank you.

As someone who actually lives and works in The Bronx, NY, seeing that they call Charles' neighborhood "The Bronx" actually makes it feel like it is not as bad as the reality. A favela in Brazil must be an unimaginable existance for people that were never there. And even though it ain't easy over here, i can't think of a single person in all of NYC that could make it like Charles has despite his life and history

Comment for the algorithm. Tremendous content

Man thank you very much for this documentary. As a brazilian, I can say the translations are very accurate and you described very well the favelas situations and many other things on this video. Awesome.

I never understood why Charles always has a stone with him and so i thought it might have been a kind of religious ritual, thank you for telling us what that's actually about. This is much better than i thought, shows why Olives loves and respects his parents that much.

As a brazilian from SP, thank you so much for going the extra mile and clarifying the difference between regions and favelas. The Patrick Gavia documentary on Charles, though made with effort, was really unfortunate in using the VICE videos from Rio and forcibly trying to relate them to a dude from Guarujá.

that left hook he landed on chandler was immaculate, just perfect. great documentary, making me tear up here. what an incredible journey to the top

This was beautiful man. Made me choke up a little bit. I love the way you helped to share his story with those of us who don't understand Portuguese. I already respected the hell out of Charlie Olives. But damn. After watching this my respect for him has grown exponentially.

This story is exactly why bothered the hell out of me him being called a quitter.

Best documentaries on MMA in the game. Absolutely love your work Molly. Super happy for Charles Oliveira too. Hope he stays champ for a long time. He deserves every penny he earns and is a national hero for Brazil.

Charles is easily my favorite fighter and is such an inspiration to me, he started bjj at the exact same age as me and even though I'm not in the UFC yet it gives me hope that with the right training I can get there and be successful. The champion has a name and it's Charles olivera

Thank you for making this! As a Brazilian who came from poverty myself, Charles story is inspiring. No matter where he goes from here he left his mark in the UFC

I'm glad you told this story, Olivera's life has so many lessons to teach us, the power of solidarity, of family, of community, of dedication to a goal and how to do the right thing when you finally achieve that goal. Excellent stuff as always man.

Hey man. Good job on the doc! I’m the creator of the David and Goliath clip from 1:22-1:27. I’m all for you using this clip, but if you could please credit me and add a link in the description or comments, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

what an amazing research you did, as a brazilian, its quite appreciated that you mentioned how different Rio's and Sao Paulo's slums are, i saw in others Charles's videos on youtube, just mentioned as if he was the same reality as Rio's slums. That shows the attention that you put to your content, amazing as always.

He’s had so many people thrown at him, told that they would beat him, and finished all of them that it’s fucking biblical at this point.

As usual, head and shoulders above any other MMA channel. Brilliant.

I never knew these facts about Olivera. Kudos to his parents, his first trainer Paulo and his unbreakable mental strength. It's really heartwarming to see Olivera being able to give back to his community. Keep up the good work inside and outside the octagon Champ. I'm a new fan of yours. God bless you and your family.

I'm tears. Without doubt, the best video from this channel, by far (even the another ones being true gems). I'm Brazilian and I want to say thank you for this video because it's so tangible the careness in its creation that's impossible don't love Charles and to see that our people is not just a bunch of silly beings smiling, dancing and f*cking with everyone who tries to make us fools. This video reveals the real Brazilian citizen. Charles is the closest archetype of what means to be Brazilian. We're the world's underdogs, but we're worthy, fighters and in the end we prevail. Thank you my friend. 🙏

The champion has a name and his name is Charles Oliveira. Great content, inspiring as always!

Thank you Sir! - The story of Do Bronx needs to be heard.

Your best work yet. This is one of those videos that completely changed the way I look at the world. Especially the part from 25:43. I realized I have lived my entire life in a privileged bubble. Now instead of hoarding money I will dedicate some of it to help the less fortunate because even a little help can change the trajectory of someone's life. We need to plant the seed early so kids dont fall into the trap of drugs & crime. The answer is to show them its possible through example and kindness and set them up for the right path which is always education and also martial arts. A kid who falls in love with either reading or Jiu Jitsu will not bother with gangs.

A testament to Charles' greatness; pretty much the whole community stood up and said "belt or not, he is the champion"

Thank you for making this video. The adversity Charles had to go through is remarkable. What a guy

I found about Oliveira when he beat Tony and his performance blew my mind, I was like "where did this guy come from?", then he absolutly destroyed Chandler in the vacant title fight and my mind just exploded, then he defended against Poirier which I was a fan off, trully espectacular, when he defended the title I was in the Oliveiras train, I knew with all my heart that he was gonna win against Gaethje, wish all the best to him and his family, he is a true champion at heart and in life

Another Banger! Great work as always. Charles is a beacon of hope

The Champion has a name. His name is Charles Oliveira!

A genuinely nice guy and underrated killer is slowly turning into a phenom

This is really brilliant documentation, brother. Excellent work, and obviously it took a long grind to produce this. You're one of the best. Really awesome production.

Damn, this is the best thing I’ve ever seen about Oliveira…. Awesome

How can you not root for this man. The fact he still won after the beltstrip really showed the mental fortitude of this man. I hope he keeps on winning until he decides to retire. What a legend.

Mixed molly whoppery you're an absolute legend. Keep killing the game dude.

LOVE! This is what this video is all about, ...plus a kid's will to win! I feel the LOVE from Charle's parents and can identify with growing up not having much. I feel the LOVE from Charle's community as they raise money so he can compete. I feel the LOVE as Charles gives back the same way he was given an opportunity. I feel the LOVE from the video creator here creating such emotional, inspiring content about a fighter who deserves every syllable of praise he gets!

I love that you did so much research on the history of Charles and where he grew up. Charles is an example of growth mindset and always grinding towards success.

I was already a fan of Charles before watching this video but now I never want to see him ever lose a fight. I don't think there any words in the English language that can properly describe what an incredible human being he is. Great video, MMW!

As a brazilian, I have to say that this really hit home for me. Your videos are always beautifully crafted, and it's amazing to see someone talk about Brazil's reality and get it right, specially regarding the absurd levels of inequality present down here. Charles' story is breathtaking and even more when depicted like this. Thank you for your work, sir.

Molly bringing the heat and making me cry again. Olives really has become my favourite fighter

Tears rolling down my face. Molly, you are the GOAT. Charles, the word inspiration just doesn't cut it!

Wow. Literally brought tears to my eyes. Martial arts had a huge impact on me too. But this is just different. It feels so unfair that some get born into this shit

My wife grew up in the flavelas in RJ, Brazil and escaped them. Charles’ story hits home especially hard for us. Your documentary is really well done. The focus on the people around him is on point. No man is an island. Bravo MMW!

We need a Hollywood movie based on Charles lifestory!!!

Shows how much you can do with the smallest of opportunity's. The neighbor that took charles to BJJ probably saved his life doing that

One of the greatest success stories in MMA. Man's the definition of a true champion.

Isso tá emocionante cara, obrigado por fazer um vídeo do nosso campeão, viver em favelas não é fácil, mais são campeões como Charles que nós mostram que nada é impossível 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Ive had friends in those areas and one thing that surprised me was that advil or any basic meds were such a luxury its just not a thing at all. Its these tiny details that add up and make life 100x harder

I started crying when I saw him give food. That's a good soul. A loving one.

Brilliant and utterly beautiful! Charles’s soul is a piercing light that demonstrates to anyone who looks on it the true power of the human spirit. Growing that power is why we are here on this planet. May his example drive this home everyone yet to realize this truth. And you, sir, are a genius. Thanks one more time.

The best documentaries on KZfaq, MMW does it again, love Charles' story and wish him a long time as a champ!

Unless you speak Portuguese it’s hard to get invested in Charles and his story so thank you for sharing it

Molly…you and I discussed the hero’s journey about Francis so I know how you view that concept. When I saw Charles opened a jits gym where he gives free classes to kids from the slums, I knew there will never be a more quintessential example of the hero’s journey than Charles Oliveira’s. Incredible work as always.

That outro from 26:33 was such solid work bro. Phenomenal.

Listening to this as I am driving home. I will watch this again when I get home. Truly informative and entertaining.

You already know MMW had to be the GOAT at writing papers in school… the way he used the “Goliath” analogy throughout the video and so eloquently writes his scripts for these videos is truly amazing!

Man oh man I was waiting patiently for this one, Charles Olivera is a massive inspiration to me. It’s crazy to see someone who looks like me doing big tings

I liked him before watching this, now I love him. Cracking content, as usual 👌.

Much respect to this warrior! Great video man 👊🏼

Dude thank you. I’ll never miss an upload, you make mma quite philosophical and I love it. There’s so much more than brutality in this sport

As i native from brazil i could not believe the amount of research you did. Often when foreigners talk about this country they do not have the capacity to REALLY put in the perspective of what is like to live in poverty in a third world country, but trough out your video you demonstrated that much respect and care were put in the making of it, so congratulations for your wonderful job producing this video and comunicating to a internetional audience the history of this hero that is Charles. Im one of those who the coin flipped in the better life (although if you think about the rich in this country that posses real exuberant amounts of money we're not even a little close to it, ans neither we should, because it is not healthy for a country to have so much money acumulated in the hands of so little, but anyway), so i do not experience in first hands how it is like to live in such conditions, and i think that your video really communicates even to a brazilian audience that are in the so called ''middle-high class'' of the economic balance in the country (which i just looked up on google that in 2022, families with the monthly income of R$ 1.019 up to R$ 4.076 [although our family earned more than that] and today in 07/03/2022 the united states dollar values 5,33 reais, so stop and think a bit about what that means). Although the video could describe with more accuracy the politics that make places like favelas to exist and continue to exist in the way they are and have been for years it is really ok, because the intent of the video was not deep dive in this topic but show how was like the experience and the challanges of Oliveira, so it is just excellent work, and for those of you that are reading this comment i really recommend researching about the history of the country from the portuguese invasion in 1500 to today and how the country came to be the way it is, and doing so, be aware that you could not be researching in the best source, so search for books and stuff. It is really mind expanding when you realise how this continental country with the potential to change the whole planet for the better was turned into this distopya that we live in. It is really horrifying what was made to our country and whate is is till being made to it, and if you live in a first world country you can really put in perspective and analyse the planet that we live in, and the country that you live in with more accuracy, because after all we live in the same planet which each country is deeply connected to each other in crazy ways, and once you realise that we, the human species are one large group of beings and not divided and opposite nations you realy start to think about this things and how the currently state of the world (2022 global capitalism) is. Got a little off topic, if u are readig this i am really surprised kkkkkkkkkk.

Congratulations on the exceptional documentary. It is no wonder that this boy has come so far and will still advance much further. The champion has a name and is called CHARLES OLIVEIRRA oss !!!

Amazing. I thought I knew Charles his story, but clearly not. What an amazing journey. The documentaries MixedMollyWhopper makes are of another level and makes me appreciate the sport even more.

The quality of your content is on another level. Thank you for all your hard work

Everything about Charles is just breathtaking and humbling. What a human. He has a good heart and the way he understands and appreciates the sacrifices his parents has gone through, just brought tears into my eyes. Now that's a true champion right there!

I appreciate the fuck outta this. But Glover needs one. That man was a fucking Champ and he didnt quit no matter how many losses it took. I really hope you put him in one. At 40+ winning a title you are a legend.

Went through a pretty intense heart to heart with my dad recently, and this is the first in this series that had me tearing up rather than smiling broadly - beautiful. Added so much depth and appreciation for our champ here!

I’ve seen damn near all of your videos and this is one of your very best. What a story! The champion has a name and it’s Charles Oliveira.

I'm glad you've done one for Olivera. He's deserving of it. Hes fast becoming my new favourite ufc fighter.

damn what a legend, he is stronger than steel

I'm in tears. I've got no right to be, but I'm so proud of Charles. A man to admire and a man to aspire to be.

I feel so bad for rooting against Charles back when he was at 145. The crazy thing is I bet alot of fighters have horrible inspiring stories hard to root against anyone. Except maybe Luke rockhold.

This is a piece of art! Charles deserves every single moment he is living now.

Beautiful closing statement as always!

Thank you for taking the time to make this informative and inspiring video, along with all your others. It adds so much depth to the current MMA space. Thanks man!

Brilliant story telling. 👏 Had me emotional at points. Thanks again.

"This is where life beat me up, and now no one will ever beat me again"

Charles Oliveira é mais dos Heróis brasileiros! Gigante na Vida e na sua Luta! Em resumo, todo brasileiro honesto e trabalhador é um Herói em Vida! Charles Oliveira is one of Brazilian Heroes! Greant Fighter and Great Man!!! All honest and worker brazilian is a Hero in Life!!! Merece tudo que tem!!! DEUS Te Abençõe Sempre, Charles!! Deserve all he has got!! GOD Bless You Charles!!

Let's goooooo! This is the documentary I wanted and this is the best KZfaq channel to do it

Great video! Don’t forget to credit people! Ben Thomas did the animation from 1:22-1:28

Damn what a powerful story. Nothing short of heroic struggle. Charles is an inspiration.

Damn Molly. You got it with this one. This actually made me get up and do some things i needed to do with my life. The ball is at least rolling for me. Hasn't in years

Powerful, I cried in this documentary- thanks for the amazing content!

good to hear that voice of yours man and as always: great storytelling, love that angle on the background of these fighters! Love from the Lowlands🇳🇱

I've only cried once watching UFC (not bawling but tears of joy) and it was when Oliveira won belt.

This documentary brought tears to my eyes I lived in a favela in São Paulo and I remember how hard my neighbours worked to survive and I left São Paulo because my minimum wage job wasn't enough to pay the rent and buy food at the same time but now I live in Aracaju and I live in a favela here too but my rent is only 280 reais a month but I still see the suffering around me but everyone helps each other like if my neighbour has no food I share my eggs and rice with them and they do the same with me

Though Gaethje was never my favorite fighter, as a fan, it’s always been easy to appreciate his toughness and showmanship. Through the whole press tour for ufc 274 when Gaethje decided to trot out the dusty old “Charles is a quitter” line I was shaking my head. I knew Justin was prone to that sort of nonsensical denial of facts, but man did he highlight a major character flaw. If you know about Charles then you understand that he’s got a rare level of physical and psychological endurance. Gaethje grew up in the American middle class, had a pretty normal life and opportunities for an American. Charles had to fight so much harder to get where he is. I’m not a Gaethje hater (yet) but I did take satisfaction in seeing his fat head looking like a ham as he tapped out to “the quitter” in round one. Do Bronx 💪🏼

What a way to start the day! The Goat of MMA content. Thank you sir.

" life is the flip of a coin, and you lost that toss the day you were born" this line is very precise of what Brazil is. Good documentary dude!

Charles should be thanking you, this mini doc turns Charles watchers into Charles fans.

Phenomenal content again Molly. Deepest appreciations for this one, Thank you.

Awesome video. You certainly do know how to pull on people's heart strings. And I now have a new found appreciation for all that Oliveira has done to overcome the odds, and become champion. 👍

Such a damn inspiration, this is why I love this sport

Im not ashamed to say this. Its nice to see something that makes u cry and say damn, this man is a blessed individual. God truly has this mans back.. God bless u MMW and god bless charlie.. The champ has a name!!!! Do bronx.
