At just 25 years old, Charles Oliveira (20-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) already boasts nearly five years of UFC experience. Now he can also claim a top-10 ranking. In the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA rankings, “Do Bronx” checks in at No. 10, based on the strength of his UFC Fight Night 68 submission win over Nik Lentz. While Oliveira has missed weight twice in his 12 official UFC appearances, not to mention once again when a September 2014 bout with Lentz was scrapped on the day of the event, his current four-fight winning streak includes three submissions and has some saying the Brazilian may finally be ready to fulfill the potential with which he entered the octagon in 2010. Check out all the rankings and see the latest moves that followed this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 67 event, not to mention what’s on the line at UFC Fight Night 68
