Video: Relive all 19 of record-holder Charles Oliveira’s finishes before UFC 289

The most prolific finisher in UFC history returns to action next month when former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira meets Beneil Dariush in the co-main event of UFC 289.

After he dropped the 155-pound belt to Islam Makhachev this past October, Oliveira (33-9 MMA, 21-9 UFC) will attempt to get back in the title picture in a key clash with Dariush (22-4-1 MMA, 16-4-1 UFC) on June 10 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.

Oliveira made his UFC debut in August 2010, and in the more than 12 years since has racked up an octagon record 19 finishes. “Do Bronx” is one of the most consistently exciting fighters the sport has ever seen, and before his next trip to the cage, it’s time to relive each time he’s put an opponent away inside the distance.

Check them all out below.
