Gotta catch ’em all.
When former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight champion Charles Oliveira steps into the Octagon opposite Max Holloway this March at UFC 326, fans may notice something a little different about “Do Bronx.”
No, it’s not a new walkout song or gear change — it’s fresh ink.
Oliveira recently unveiled a brand-new leg sleeve tattoo, and unlike many tattoos seen across the MMA landscape, this one actually hits. While fight fans are no strangers to questionable ink — head designs, mismatched styles, and outright ugly tattoos are almost a rite of passage in the sport — Oliveira continues to be an exception.
The Brazilian star added a full Pokémon-themed sleeve to his leg, featuring fan favorites like Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Mewtwo, Charmander, Charizard, and Primeape. It’s lined nicely, detailed, and cohesive — three things that can’t always be said about MMA tattoos.
Check out the video below:
This new addition fits perfectly with Oliveira’s growing collection of standout body art. His iconic lion back tattoo is already one of the most recognizable pieces in the UFC, a work that reportedly took more than 10 hours under the needle. Whether it’s symbolic, personal, or just plain cool, Oliveira’s tattoos consistently look intentional — not impulsive.
Fans will get a full look at the Pokémon sleeve when “Do Bronx” clashes with Holloway for the BMF title at UFC 326. Win or lose, Oliveira will once again be one of the best-dressed fighters in the building — ink included.
