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?

Hope he gets a an upgrade on his deal. he deserves it. imo

 

[Martialbeef]

Sign the boy up

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Very exciting fighter who’s just entering his prime... maybe he can work a title shot or a money fight in there now that he has the leverage

 

[BigTruck]

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

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Hopefully they re-sign him ASAP, it would be a huge mistake to let him go, Charles is always so fun to watch and always lets go!!!! no point fighting BS, he lets go always win or lose. Great to watch

 

[Sijara Romero]

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

I guess he's coming for that Bellator LW title because the UFC stands very firm in their negotiations of non-draws.

That's how gunt got that 600k deal. So Oliveira will probably be offered like 50/50...

 

[Sweater of AV]

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.

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

"We know the contract with the UFC is over, but it will definitely be renewed.”

Not at all the attitude he should have going into negotiations, and he certainly shouldn't be saying that publicly.

Hopefully he/his manager knows his worth and gets paid. Oliveira is one of the most exciting fighters in the organization. He's been putting on great performances for years and is still improving. Dude deserves to make good money.

He's exciting, active, and on a long win streak.

UFC low-ball offer is imminent...

 

[Memeojima]

Wtf resign his ass asap. Do Bronx is must see TV

 

[DatSamboKid]

Yes, he just put himself in a life changing position. I’m pretty sure he now has a salary that won’t force him to flip burgers once his career is over.

That's actually not awful. I agree, better than I thought his contract was.

150/150 and a serious bump for any title fight is probably the deal he's offered.

When they let guys like Mousasi walk you just never know what they are gonna do.

He's a must see tv for me, agree he really deservs to get payed.

 

[DragRacer]

My favorite fighter on the roster.
Pay the man.

He could try and negotiate a straight 220 instead of keeping the win bonus structure. I think he’s earned that much at least and it wouldn’t be asking too much.
