Early Life

Born on October 17, 1989, in the favela of Vicente de Carvalho in Guarujá, São Paulo, Brazil, Oliveira came from humble beginnings. At the age of 7, he was diagnosed with a heart murmur and rheumatic fever, with doctors advising him against playing sports. Despite this, his parents encouraged him to engage in physical activities, and his condition improved over time. When he was 12 years old, a neighbor named Paulo introduced him to a Brazilian jiu-jitsu gym where instructor Roger Coelho offered free classes to those from low-income backgrounds. To help fund his training, Oliveira’s family sold street snacks and used cardboard. Within just two months, Oliveira became the São Paulo jiu-jitsu champion.
