Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira’s recently got a new back tattoo ahead of his anticipated Octagon return.
Oliveira hasn’t fought since a loss to Islam Makhachev at UFC 280 last October. He’s targeting a return later this year, potentially against Beneil Dariush as soon as May.
Before the loss to Makhachev, Oliveira was on a roll, earning finishes over the likes of Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. The defeat to Makhachev snapped an 11-fight winning streak which included a vacant title win at UFC 262 against Michael Chandler.
Oliveira seems determined to earn a rematch with Makhachev and reclaim the lightweight throne in 2023. As he awaits his next UFC assignment, he got a new tattoo of a Lion on his back that took 11 hours to finish.
Charles Oliveira’s New Back Tattoo Took 11 Hours To Complete
In a recent Instagram post, Oliveira showed off his new ink.

“Another great job completed with my brother [William Espo?sito] just gratitude,” Oliveira posted. “11 hours of hard work.”
Oliveira is far from the first UFC fighter to get an extensive tattoo. UFC star Conor McGregor has a tattoo of a crowned gorilla on his chest, and former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt also has a lot of ink.
Oliveira has surged since making the full-time move from featherweight to lightweight earlier in his career. He went from an up-and-down performer to one of the biggest names in the sport over a few years.
Oliveira intends to bring intensity to the Octagon in 2023 as he looks to stake his claim to another lightweight title shot.
