Charles Oliveria moving to FW

Brazilian youngster Charles Oliveira (14-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) is dropping to 145 pounds.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com)
today learned from Oliveira's manager, Wade Hampel, that Oliveira has
informed UFC brass he would like for his next fight to take place in the
company's featherweight division.

"Charles hopes to return to action before the end of the year, if
possible," Hampel said. "We're extremely excited to see what he can
achieve at 145 pounds."

Hampel said Oliveira, who was 5-foot-10 when he made his octagon debut
back in August 2010, has since grown to 6-foot-2. Nevertheless, at just
22 years old, Oliveira is still lean enough to make the drop, according
to his camp.

Hampel said Oliveira recently went through a test cut and had no problem
hitting 145 pounds. Hampel said his client also recovered well from the
test run and felt strong quickly after rehydrating.

Hampel, who stands 6-foot-6, said Oliveira's shoulders and wingspan are
similar to his own and believes "Do Bronx" could someday compete as high
as 185 pounds. But in the meantime, Oliveira looks to take advantage of
his current build.

He is young, if he can make the cut for now he could be a nice addition to FW.

Kids got potential out the ass. I still think he can be champ one day.

Which weight class?

he should fare better at FW

He's fine at either weight as he continues to mature but he's for sure a serious player at FW already given what's there

Another guy that was thrown into the big league too soon.

See this is a good move to fw that actually makes sense.
