“One of the things I remember at halftime was the Charles of the Bronx telling me: 'he stuck his finger in my eye'. Really, it wasn't just once, but the truth is just one: a soldier's bravery is only known in war”, wrote the coach.
In the confrontation against Chandler, Do Bronx showed all its resistance by enduring real punishment in the first five minutes. During the assault, the Brazilian ended up surprised by his opponent's aggressiveness, but managed to overcome the bad moment.
The second stage marked the Brazilian's greatest achievement. With sharp hands, Do Bronx discounted the punishment and massacred his opponent in the opening seconds. With a devastating knockout, the athlete won the duel and became the new lightweight champion.
Charles' positive result put Brazil in the MMA history books. The combatant joined Rafael dos Anjos and, today, he is the second Tupiniquim to hold the title of one of the most dangerous divisions in the sport.
