In Short
  • Charles Oliveira took a lie detector test and was indicated as lying about not being afraid of Dana White.
  • He expressed interest in fighting the winner of Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje for the lightweight title.
  • Oliveira's wife defended him against criticism regarding his BMF title performance against Max Holloway.

Dana White has served as UFC boss since 2001 and is known as one of combat sports’ most brash leaders. He has guided the UFC through decades of aggressive expansion and high-pressure decision-making. His tenure includes major contractual disputes with dangerous fighters. This perception of influence was highlighted when Charles Oliveira appeared in a lie detector segment referencing White.

Oliveira is one of the most popular fighters on the UFC roster, known for his elite finishing ability and long lightweight career. His humble personality and aggressive submission-heavy style have made him a fan favorite. He is a former UFC lightweight champion and record-holder for submissions and finishes. At UFC 326, Oliveira defeated Max Holloway in their rematch to avenge his 2015 loss and won the BMF title.

Oliveira is now the latest athlete to sign with Crash Game Aviator, adding another major UFC name to the platform. He was seen carrying out his first media duties as a brand ambassador after the announcement. During these appearances, Oliveira took part in a lie detector test that gained attention. When asked if he was scared of White, ‘Do Bronx’ said no. However, the machine indicated the answer as false.

He’s the boss, right.

Oliveira was also asked during the same segment whether he would be interested in fighting for the lightweight title next. The Brazilian BMF champion remained confident about his path forward in the division. He stated that he expects to face the winner of Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje. The bout will serve as a rematch of their UFC 317 clash, where ‘El Matador’ scored a brutal knockout over Oliveira.

‘Do Bronx’ was also asked about the potential return of Conor McGregor during the segment. He suggested that fans may not see the Irishman back inside the octagon anytime soon. He pointed out that competition in the UFC has significantly increased since McGregor last fought in 2021. Oliveira also indicated that he believes the Irish UFC superstar is hesitant to return amid the current landscape.

Charles Oliveira has remained on good terms with Dana White throughout his career, maintaining a strong standing in the UFC. Many have believed that the Brazilian star benefits from the infamous ‘Dana White Privilege.’ Despite that perception, Oliveira remains active at the top of the lightweight division. He is now focused on his next move and wants to fight for the undisputed title or defend his BMF belt.

Charles Oliveira’s BMF title performance at UFC 326 drew criticism from many who felt the fight lacked sustained action. The Brazilian relied heavily on his grappling and BJJ to control Max Holloway throughout the contest. Oliveira consistently kept Holloway grounded across all five rounds, limiting striking exchanges. This approach secured him the win but led to debate over the entertainment value.

One of the most notable critics was Mauricio Ruffy, who called out Charles Oliveira for diminishing the meaning of the BMF belt. He criticized his fellow Brazilian for showing emotion after the victory, despite acknowledging the dominance displayed by ‘Do Bronx’ during the fight. However, Oliveira’s partner Vitoria Brum stepped in to respond, pushing back against Ruffy’s criticism.

Then let’s schedule a boxing match, because if you want a fight, this is MMA, there will be Jiu Jitsu, Ruffy, don’t come trying to surf on my husband’s wave, because he has more submission than you have fights.

Mauricio Ruffy is now preparing for a pivotal bout against Michael Chandler at UFC Freedom 250. The matchup represents a crucial step in his rise within the lightweight division. A strong performance could place him closer to title contention in the near future. If he secures the win, a potential clash with Charles Oliveira for the BMF belt could emerge as a realistic next step.
