Bizarre Story Of The Day: Former UFC Champ Charles Oliveira Wins A Horse Racing Championship In Argentina

Seems like Charles Oliveira isn’t doing much relaxing after his impressive win in Brazil last weekend - because the man went straight to Argentina to win a horse racing grand prix. Yep, you read that right. The same guy who just dismantled and embarrassed Gamrot inside the octagon is now out there in a helmet and goggles, steering a horse and buggy like he’s in 'Fast & Furious: Equestrian Drift'.

This is one of those stories I had to triple-check before even starting this blog. I thought maybe it was fake - some AI-generated fever dream, or maybe a jockey with the same name who just happened to look suspiciously like him. But nope! That’s 100% “Do Bronx”, reins in hand, absolutely hauling ass down the track like there’s a belt on the line.

It’s such a bizarre sight: the former UFC champ, whose day job involves vicious knees, elbows, and guillotines, suddenly morphing into a championship horse racer in another country. No downtime, no vacation, no “I’m just gonna chill and eat like a slob for a week.” - violence on Saturday and victory laps on Sunday.

Absurd? Absolutely. But also kind of perfect. Because if there’s anyone on Earth who’d knock someone out one weekend and then casually dominate a grand prix the next, it’s Charles Oliveira. The man doesn’t even take days off - he just changes the species of his opponents. The Champion has a name!!

P.S. I hope he continues racing and our new horse expert Mut turns into an Oliveira SUPERFAN. I would love to see him down in Brazil interviewing the champ before the next grand prix!!
