UFC champion Charles Oliveira recently revealed that he is nearly blind when not wearing his glasses.<\/p>\n

Oliveira (32-8 MMA) successfully defended his 155lbs title for the first time last month at UFC 269 when he submitted Dustin Poirier with a rear-naked choke in round three (see that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

That spectacular finish marked the Brazilian champions tenth victory in a row, a feat which is even more remarkable now that we know he is fighting while visually impaired.<\/p>\n

Charles Oliveira recently joined Flow podcast<\/a> where he revealed that his eye sight is so bad he actually sees three fighters at once while in the Octagon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see three [faces]. If I hit the middle one, that\u2019s fine,\u201d<\/em> said Oliveira (h\/t MMAMania<\/a>). \u201cI think keep this same technique. Three guys for me is perfect. If I hit the one in the middle, it\u2019s good. I\u2019ll tell you the truth, I\u2019m a guy who has a lot of faith in God and it\u2019s no joke. If I take my glasses off, I only see 50 per cent but it never hindered me in a fight.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Charles Oliveira continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt never hindered me in a fight. Sometimes I walk in without the glasses, sometimes I walk in with the glasses. It depends on my vibe. Sometimes I like to walk in with glasses to look harmless and more nerdy than I already am. And when I take my glasses off, it\u2019s normal, I can see my opponent on the other side. God blesses me so much that I can see normal. But on the streets, if I take them off, I\u2019m blind.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Charles Oliveira recently created a poll for fans to decide who he will fight next, Justin Gaethje or Conor McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n
