Charles Oliveira has been fighting under the UFC banner for well over a decade. He will return to action to take on Arman Tsarukyan in one of the two lightweight fights on UFC 300‘s main card. But before we get to the historic pay-per-view, let us take a deep dive into Do Bronx’s earnings throughout his time in Dana White‘s promotion.

‘Do Bronxs’ joined Dana White’s promotion in 2010 and has since fought 32 times under the UFC banner. His career in the world’s biggest promotion started in a rather underwhelming way. In spite of that, Oliveira has now grown to be a former champion and a main eventer in the UFC, which could have helped him earn more money. Let’s take a look at his payouts so far.

Charles Oliveira did not get to touch the million-dollar mark until he fought Dustin Poirier at UFC 269. The Brazilian earned a total of $1,142,000 from that fight, which he also won via submission. The next million-dollar paycheck came when Oliveira faced Justin Gaethje to defend his lightweight title. He made $1,732,000 from that fight. However, Do Bronx was stripped of his title for missing weight and fined 20 percent of his earnings.

In his last UFC fight, the 34-year-old knocked out Beneil Dariush and took home a $1,371,000 paycheck. However, his paycheck almost earned him almost a couple of million dollars. As such, let us shift our focus a bit on that front and also take a deep dive into the former lightweight champion’s net worth details.

Oliveira’s highest payout and net worth

The biggest paycheck Charles Oliveira ever received was at UFC 280. He took on Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s protégé in a losing effort for the undisputed lightweight title. That fight may not have turned out in Oliveira’s favor and even marked Islam Makhachev‘s rise to superstardom, but Do Bronx was able to earn $1,757,000 from that fight. After a decade with the UFC, that was the biggest amount of money he had ever made from a single fight.

When it comes to the net worth, concrete details are not available, but it is believed that Charles Oliveira is around the $5 million mark. Meanwhile, his total recorded fight earnings are estimated to be approximately $6,916,500. It is safe to say that ‘Do Bronx’ has hit the million-dollar mark like the other star athletes on the UFC roster.

Apart from the money he earns, Charles Oliveira is desperate to regain his UFC title. He had the chance at UFC 294 but had to pull out due to an injury he suffered days before the fight. But now, he will be fighting Arman Tsarukyan, who has been on fire lately, in a title contender’s matchup.
