Gotta catch ’em all.
When former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight champion Charles Oliveira steps into the Octagon opposite Max Holloway this March at UFC 326, fans may notice something a little different about “Do Bronx.”

No, it’s not a new walkout song or gear change — it’s fresh ink.
Oliveira recently unveiled a brand-new leg sleeve tattoo, and unlike many tattoos seen across the MMA landscape, this one actually hits. While fight fans are no strangers to questionable ink — head designs, mismatched styles, and outright ugly tattoos are almost a rite of passage in the sport — Oliveira continues to be an exception.
The Brazilian star added a full Pokémon-themed sleeve to his leg, featuring fan favorites like Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Mewtwo, Charmander, Charizard, and Primeape. It’s lined nicely, detailed, and cohesive — three things that can’t always be said about MMA tattoos.
Check out the video below:
This new addition fits perfectly with Oliveira’s growing collection of standout body art. His iconic lion back tattoo is already one of the most recognizable pieces in the UFC, a work that reportedly took more than 10 hours under the needle. Whether it’s symbolic, personal, or just plain cool, Oliveira’s tattoos consistently look intentional — not impulsive.
