Former UFC lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg) and current holder of the 'BMF' title, Charles do Bronx joined in on a special action between the UFC and NBA Brazil and joked about the characteristics between basketball stars and prominent names in the organization. With his trademark charisma, the 'Blamed Lion' also didn't hesitate to create his own "bridge" between the two universes.
The interview, conducted in a relaxed tone, presented a dynamic that placed the lightweight fighter before the challenge of connecting great NBA players to UFC fighters. Without much time to think, 'Do Bronx' cited Ultimate legends one by one, while simultaneously being tasked with associating them with the basketball stars.

Kobe Bryant… José Aldo . Stephen Curry… wow, hmm, Israel Adesanya . Gui Santos… with me, it has to be with me, because he has the same things, the tattoos, just like me, the same thinking, mentality, so, with me,” said Charles do Bronx in the interview.

Current situation of Charles from the Bronx
Enjoying a great run of form after winning the symbolic 'BMF' belt, 'Do Bronx' is resting for a few weeks with his family. The Brazilian intends to fight for the lightweight title this year.
However, to do so, he needs to wait for the outcome of the fight between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje , which takes place at UFC White House on June 14th in Washington DC (USA).
Within this context, the São Paulo native has also made himself available to replace one of the athletes, should an unforeseen event, whether due to injury or any other situation, occur.
