Charles Oliveira made Demian Maia cry after his win at UFC Rio.
Oliveira was an underdog going into his headliner against Mateusz Gamrot at Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday. “Do Bronxs” established his superiority on the ground early and submitted Gamrot in the second round in front of an ecstatic home crowd.
Oliveira then expressed his gratitude towards Ultimate Fighting Championship grappling legend Maia, who was a part of the Portuguese commentary team. Oliveira credited Maia for developing his ground game, making the former title challenger tear up.
