Charles Oliveira has won 16 UFC fights by submission. Those victories have come in a variety of ways which show just how truly special Oliveira is once the fight hits the canvas. Those victories came against Darren Elkins, Efrain Escudero, Eric Wisely, Jonathan Brookins, Andy Ogle, Hatsu Hioki, Nik Lentz, Myles Jury, Will Brooks, Clay Guida, Christos Giagos, Jim Miller, David Teymur, Kevin Lee, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje.
Although he didn’t win the UFC lightweight title by submission, Oliveira’s submission wins to defend his title versus Poirier and his spot against Gaethje were particularly special. Defeating Poirier and Gaethje, both former interim lightweight title holders, capped off one of the most electric title runs in the history of the UFC.
