In his pre-teens, Oliveira was influenced by his cousin who had started mixed martial arts (MMA) and desired to become an MMA fighter one day. But his cousin stopped him from BJJ training and urged him to first make a perfect base in the groundwork which according to him was a necessary element to the cage fighting sport.
