Charles Oliveira is a free agent

[snackgod]

CM Punk made near enough double what Aloe Vera did?

that was the classic freak show fight to see ppvs and tickets.

Who is Bellator's highest paid fighter? Can they afford to pay him 150/150?

fedor rampage wand chael tito cryborg just to name a few of there cash cows.

you acting like bellator owner not a huge cablle giant worth billions.

 

[Chart69r]

He makes 110k-110k which I'm really surprised hes getting. Good for him but dont see him getting much better honestly.

That was as a Main Event though, what was his previous fight pay?

Just checked, co-main on his previous fight was still 105/105.

Do Bronx gettin' paid.

 

[Chart69r]

Also, can we talk about his losses, nothing but killers.

Jim Miller by Kneebar - was slick as iirc.
Cowboy Cerrone - KO - no shame there.
Cub Swanson - probably the worst loss on his record.
Frankie Edgar - HOFer for sure.
Max Holloway - It is what it is.
Pettis - Always dangerous.
Lamas - Underrated.
Felder - Beast.

Don't worry, the UFC will fuck this up.

 

[Robert Clarke]

I could not be happier, this guy is a Superstar. Make big money and get a good Financial Advisor., think of the future

 

[Vespasian70AD]

So basically despite his record, the UFC are telling him he’s got until the Pandemic ends to learn English and become more marketable. Otherwise we’ll see him in Bellator.

 

[strebitel86]

He should sign with Ares.

Charles Oliveira put himself in excellent position to renegotiate a new deal by choking Kevin Lee with a guillotine at UFC Brasilia on March 14. He completed his UFC contract with seven straight wins in less than two years.

“We’re going through very difficult times with the coronavirus, so it’s in (my managers’) hands,” he told MMA Fighting. “‘Macaco’ called me 15 of 20 days after the event and said he spoke with (UFC matchmaker) Sean (Shelby), and Sean said they would wait for this whole coronavirus thing to be over to sit and talk. We know the contract with the UFC is over, but it will definitely be renewed.”


Da Bronx is on fire. Will UFC cough up the cash?

Charles Money Oliviera, ladies and germs:

 

[Gambit MMA]

Lol, ufc ain't gonna offer him that much. Hopefully he gets some sort of upgrade even it's a 50k raise.

 

[mkess101]

Do bronx vs your guy? How'd that go down?

Tony beats him right now. Charles is a dangerous fight for any LW right now, Tony included, but ultimately Tony's pace and the amount of damage he can do would likely be too much.

In a couple years though Tony likely declines and at that point maybe a different story.

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Bet they let him walk and say he was super fucking expensive.

Sad but true.
The UFC is turning into WWE.

 

[Franklin U.]

Franklin U s currently ranked #2 LW.
UFC cant fuck this one up. Nobody on the planet has evolved more while filling out his frame the past 3 years. He just turned 30.

 

[winkydinks]

The ufc is the premier mma promotion because the best fighters are there

In the past year and a half, they've gotten rid of the FLW goat and the one of the two best female FWs. To use a non-figurative analogy, the fighters are sheep whom Dana can sheer many times. However, the shepherd needs to remember that he can only skin his flock once.

Sad but true.

It's been for a very long time now. They just aren't hiding it anymore.

 

[peterparker66]

I very much doubt he gets a pay raise with the current economic climate .
But I very much hope he does and gets a title shot after Ferguson

 

[Franklin U.]

Let him walk to Bellator tbh. He has a better chance of winning a title there and get paid well.

Lets say that happens then BMMA has an ever evolved " do bronx", D.Lima , G.Mousasi and people who believe in Baders evolution ( I stand neutral there cause it's tough for me to gauge). They get their hands on some more elites , Bellator gets interesting.

.....and Mousasi and Charles wouldve left on tremendous winning streaks from mmas top promotion

 

[Franklin U.]

A late bloomer who isn't a big name, might kill some of Dana's cash cows, and wants more money?

I see how this might play out unfortunately.

As long as Charlie is reasonable, I just cant see UFC not signing.

.....wait, I just remembered-

You might be right.

 

[Franklin U.]

I very much doubt he gets a pay raise with the current economic climate .

I'm sure he'll get bump but contingent on the world situation.

Rarely if ever has that happened with a similar fighter.
