UFC 162 co-headliner Charles Oliveira : Due to judges, ‘it’s necessary to go for broke’ In 20 professional fights, UFC 162 co-headliner Charles Oliveira has been to a decision just once. The reason, he said, is simple: He doesn’t trust judges, so that forces him to take gambles where other won’t. “I do think it’s necessary to take chances when attempting to win,” he told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “Look at my fights. I may win or lose, but I almost never go to decision. I only have one decision on my record, an old bout in Brazil. If one doesn’t take risks, the decision is left to the judges, and that’s why it’s necessary to go for broke.” However, this isn’t a new sentiment, despite MMA judging’s recent woes. Oliveira said it’s something he learned early in his career, when he was still cutting his teeth on the regional circuit in his native Brazil.
