It may sound like a paradox, but Charles Oliveira is possibly the most underrated exciting fighter in the history of MMA. Since joining the UFC, he’s finished 90% of his fights, holds a plethora of post-fight bonuses (undoubtedly for finishing his opponents both on the ground with his fourth-degree black belt in BJJ and his fists), he’s won the UFC lightweight title and has defeated some of the best fighters to ever step in the Octagon. With his upcoming fight against Michael Chandler in UFC 309, let’s check out some of Oliveira’s top Topps cards.
