Mark Kerr isn’t the only former UFC champion getting a biopic.
According to a report from Variety, Eduardo Ferro’s 405 Films has acquired the life rights of Ultimate Fighting Championship star Charles Oliveira, with plans to develop a yet-to-be-titled feature film chronicling the fighter’s journey from the favelas to stardom inside the Octagon.
The biopic will reportedly trace Oliveira’s rise from life-threatening health issues in the impoverished Vicente de Carvalho neighborhood in Guarujá, São Paulo, through his climb up the BJJ ranks and eventually becoming the UFC lightweight world titleholder.
“From the favelas of Guarujá to the bright lights of the Octagon, this has always been about heart, faith, and never giving up,” said Oliviera.
