"Champ inside and outside the cage" - Terrance McKinney praises Charles Oliveira for charity work
Having fought his way to glory from humble beginnings, Charles Oliveira truly understands the importance of philanthropy. He was recently hailed by Terrance McKinney for his altruistic spirit in a post on social media.
In addition to praising Charles Oliveira's fighting skills and exploits in the octagon, Terrance McKinney lauded the Brazilian for frequently embarking on charitable quests. Here's what the UFC lightweight had to say about the division's champion:
"He’s a champ inside and outside the cage," wrote Terrance McKinney.
This comes shortly after UFC lightweight contender and recent foe Dustin Poirier committed $20,000 to a charity of Charles Oliveira's choice. The fact that 'The Diamond' offered Oliveira such a large sum of money on the back of a devastating loss at his hands speaks volumes about the respect the American has for 'Do Bronx'.
