<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveira: Net Worth 2024, Record, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Charles Oliveira? </strong></h2>
While former UFC champion Charles Oliveira reigned at the top of the lightweight division for a brief time, his legacy is cemented in stone with his numerous exploits in the promotion. The BJJ ace holds multiple records in the promotion that testify to his exceptional fighting acumen and pedigree as a fighter.

Now, 'Do Bronx' is all set to fight against Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 300. The lightweight bout is one of the most exciting ones to go down at the prestigious pay-per-view and it will be watched by millions of people across the globe. So here's more about Oliveira.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveira's early life</strong></h2>
He was born in the favela of Vicente de Carvalho in Guaruja, Sao Paulo, and aspired to be a professional soccer player. But his dreams were soon shattered after he was diagnosed with rheumatic fever and heart murmur.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-61443672 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-61443672" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1232920212.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>via Getty</figcaption></figure>
His introduction to BJJ came at 12, with his neighbor Paulo working as the catalyst. Despite the meager resources, his family funded his training by selling street snacks and discarded cardboard.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveira’s girlfriend</strong></h2>
Currently, Oliveira is often spotted with his girlfriend Victoria Brum. The couple became official when the ex-UFC champ posted a picture of them together with the caption <em>“My babe.” </em>But earlier Oliveira was seemingly happily married.

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2325793" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-design-1-7-172-560x315.jpg" alt="Charles Oliveira; Vitoria Brum" width="560" height="315" />

Talita Roberta Pereira is also trained in BJJ, like her ex-husband. The couple tied the knot in 2014, and in 2017, the couple was blessed with a beautiful daughter named Tayla. While she never took the professional route in BJJ, she was earlier spotted at the Centro de Treinamento Charles Oliveira Gold Team. According to Ecelebritymirror.com, she worked at the Casa de Saúde Guarujá Hospital. However, despite no official confirmation from either, they seem to have parted ways!
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveira's net worth in 2024</strong></h2>
According to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://wealthygorilla.com/charles-oliveira-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wealthy Gorilla</a>, the Brazilian fighter has an estimated net worth of over $5.5 million. The primary source of his revenue remains his fighting purse and bonuses collected from his Octagon fights. He reportedly banked $1.6 million from his fight against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/islam-makhachev/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Islam Makhachev</a> at UFC 280.

He also reportedly made about $1.3 million for defeating Beneil Dariush in their last fight at UFC 289. Now, he's set to face Tsarukyan. How much money will he make for the fight? One can only wait to figure out but his base salary of at least $100,000 should do him some good going into the fight.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveira's Career timeline</strong></h2>
After producing successful results in BJJ, the 33-year-old shifted his focus to MMA. He announced himself on the world stage after amassing an impressive record of 12-0 competing in Brazil. On the heels of his unbeaten record, Oliveira signed for UFC as an exciting prospect.

He made his UFC with a trademark submission win over Darren Elkins in August 2010. But he dropped the next two fights against Jim Miller and Donald Cerrone. In 2012, the former champion moved to the featherweight, but a poor run of form during 2015 and 2016 compelled him to return to lightweight.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-1559681814 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-1559681814" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1328057812.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>via Getty</figcaption></figure>
However, he soon hit his prime form after suffering a defeat against Paul Felder and rattled 11 consecutive wins that included winning the UFC gold by forcing <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-chandler/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Michael Chandler</a> to the mat and winning the belt via a quick first-round knockout at UFC 262. After that, he would win against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/">Dustin Poirier</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/justin-gaethje/">Justin Gaethje</a> at UFC 269 and 274 to defend his belt only to lose it to Islam Makhachev at UFFC 280. A rematch between him and the champ would get canceled at UFC 294 after the victory over Dariush thanks to a brutal cut over his eye.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Charles Oliveira's business and endorsements</strong></h2>
In 2018, Reebok endorsed Charles Oliveira and other UFC Sau Paulo fighters when he fought Christos Giagos. 'do Bronx' pocketed $20,000 for the sponsorship.

Charles Oliveira: Net Worth 2024, Record, Salary, Endorsements

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Islam Makhachev 2024: Record, Net Worth, Next Fight, and Salary</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Islam Makhachev?</strong></h2>
Islam Makhachev came to the UFC as one of the young vibrant talents. The Dagestani fighter made his promotional debut in 2015 against Leo Kuntz at the undercard of his teammate Daniel Cormier's coronation as UFC champion.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="image-loader_es-image-loader-aspect-ratio__X6IHP"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-907840404.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>via Getty</figcaption></figure>
Makhachev has grown up and trained with the legend <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khabib-nurmagomedov/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Khabib Nurmagomedov</a>. As of October 2023, Makhachev is the UFC lightweight champion. The young fighter is proficient in <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.allthebestfights.com/makhachev-vs-tsarukyan-full-fight-video-ufc-fn-149/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Combat Sambo, </a>where he was the 2016 World Champion.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Islam Makhachev’s early life</strong></h2>
Makhachev was born in Makhachkala, Burshi, Republic of Dagestan, Russia. Born on 27 October 1991, the Dagestani had humble beginnings, to a father who used to grow tomatoes and worked odd jobs as a driver and to a housewife mother, who ran a small cafe. Both their names have not been disclosed to the public. He also has an older brother, Kurbanismail. The family belongs to the Lak ethnicity, speaks the Laki language, and are devout followers of Islam.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong> Islam Makhachev’s wife and kids</strong></h2>
Amidst speculations owing to rumors and a video that showcased the UFC fighter at what seemed like a wedding reception, we now have confirmation that Makhachev is a married man. Although not much is known about team Khabib's protege, reportedly, the fighter got hitched on April 8, 2021. Other than this and a snap of him and his bride in a white gown, not much is known about the wife.

Several notable UFC stars were also in attendance, such as Khabib Nurmagomedov, Zubaira Tughukov, and so on. Apart from this, as is the case for most Dagestani fighters, apart from an interview wherein he mentioned about his daughter, no other information is present about his kid.

While in conversation with Megan Olivi, Makhachev disclosed, "<em>Couple of months, I have been thinking about my daughter. I just want to come home."</em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Islam Makhachev’s net worth 2024</strong></h2>
As of 2024, Makhachev has an estimated net worth of over $1.5 million. His net worth is expected to rise significantly, considering his ascent to success and phenomenal title reign.

He has UFC career earnings of $3,150,000, according to <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://mmasalaries.com/islam-makhachev-career-earnings-net-worth-and-info/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MMA Salaries</a>. His biggest paycheck came from his last fight against Alexander Volkanovski, where he earned a whopping $1,492,000.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Islam Makhachev’s career timeline</strong></h2>
Makhachev signed a four-fight contract when he made his smacking debut in the UFC. As aforementioned, his first opponent in the UFC was Leo Kuntz, whom he defeated in a thrilling match via submission in the second round of the bout.

Another of his greatest fights was with Davi Ramos at UFC 242. The Russian proved himself and won the match via a unanimous decision.

Makhachev's only loss in UFC was against Adriano Martins at?UFC 192?on October 3, 2015. Martins dominated right from the start and claimed the bout via a first-round TKO.

In his recent run, Makhachev defeated <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/thiago-moises/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Thiago Moises</a> on July 17, 2021, as he claimed a magnificent submission (rear-naked choke) victory in the fourth round.

Later he took on <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dan-hooker/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dan Hooker</a> on October 30, 2021, at UFC 267 and won the fight via first-round submission. His next win came against Bobby Green, who stepped up to face the Dagestan-based athlete on short notice. Next, he faced <strong>Charles Oliveira</strong> for the UFC lightweight title and won via a 2nd round submission.

At UFC 284, the Russian fighter successfully defended his title against <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-volkanovski/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Alexander Volkanovski</a>. Thereafter, for their second bout in UFC 294, the Dagestani continued his reign by securing a win with a head kick and hammer fists in the first round itself!

Now for his next fight, Makhachev is slated against Dustin Poirier as the main event for the upcoming UFC PPV 302.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Islam Makhachev’s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
Makhachev has made several endorsement deals over the years. He has partnered up with huge companies, such as <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUCTnKhM5g2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wahed Invest</a>, <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/COScTJGKMDA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gorilla Energy Drink</a>, and <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CERB-LKBjLg/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Al Hadaya</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Islam Makhachev’s career stats and records</strong></h2>
The Dagestani fighter is definitely one of the best young lightweight fighters and has achieved quite a bit in his professional career. Makhachev holds a proud 24-1-0 MMA <a class="es-hyperlink" href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Islam-Makhachev-76836" target="_blank" rel="noopener">record</a>.

<h2>Mateusz Gamrot's wife and kids</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Mateusz Gamrot is </span><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-mateusz-gamrot-nationality-wife-kids-and-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-ufc-star/"><span style="font-weight: 400">currently a married individual</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> with two kids. Reports also state that 'the Poland native' tied the knot with his wife, Agata Gamrot, on 18 August 2021. Currently, they are parents to a 7-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son.</span>
<h2><b>Mateusz Gamrot's nationality</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">There are a number of reports that have revealed the nationality of Gamrot. Further, the mention of his winning medals in the junior and youth categories of the Polish national championships may have already clarified the fact that he is Polish by birth. Reports say that 'Gamer' was born on 11 December 1990 in the city of Bielsko-Biala which lies in the southern part of Poland.</span>
<h2><b>What is Mateusz Gamrot's net worth?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The noted UFC Lightweight, Mateusz Gamrot made his way into the promotion in the year 2020 with an undefeated record. However, he stumbled right at the beginning of his UFC career. But, even after losing his initial UFC bout, Gamrot showcased superb determination as he won all of his next four bouts. Apart from gaining some good following, it's quite apparent that he has also earned a considerable amount of wealth from his seven UFC fights to date. However, the '32-year-old' has spent most of his professional MMA career fighting for other promotions, primarily 'KSW'. The income from those fights also accounts for a major part of his current net worth.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Apart from his professional career, Gamrot is also a businessman. His own brand ‘Sklep Internetowy’, deals in a variety of products, including graphic tees, printed mugs, and sports coffee.

<h2><b>Mateusz Gamrot's MMA record and stats</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Although a few reports reveal his initial involvement in freestyle wrestling, there are none detailing why he transitioned to MMA. The available reports state that he holds a 15-0 record in amateur MMA. They also reveal that 'the Polish' had his first professional MMA fight under the Night of Champions on 21 April 2012. A large chunk of fans might have already realized that he won as it's previously mentioned that he entered the UFC with an undefeated record.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">'Gamer' forced the doctors to intervene and stop his first fight making a debut with a win via TKO (Doctor Stoppage). He fought two more times in XFS and won both of them before moving on to KSW which became almost his home for the next eight years. He showcased his superb prowess in striking in his very first KSW fight against Mateusz Zawadzki on 8 June 2013. The 32-year-old won via a TKO (Corner Stoppage). Although he signed with Cage Warriors Fighting Championship in 2014, he decided to return to KSW just after a single fight.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Gamrot fought 14 times under the KSW banner and also earned the Featherweight and Lightweight championships of the promotion. He finally made his entry into the UFC on 17 October 2020 at UFC Fight Night 180. 'The massively anticipated Polish' tasted defeat for the first time in pro-MMA in his very first UFC bout. At the end of three hard-fought rounds, Gamrot lost the bout against Guram Kutateladze via a unanimous decision.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, he managed to revamp his winning run and went on a four-fight win streak against Scott Holtzman, </span><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jeremy-stephens/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Jeremy Stephens</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, </span><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/diego-ferreira/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Diego Ferreira</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, and Arman Tsarukyan.

Now, he will fight Dan Hooker at UFC 305. </span>
<h2><b>Mateusz Gamrot's UFC salary and payouts</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Despite having a large chunk of fans backing him, it won't be wrong to say that 'the 32-year-old' is a relatively less-talked-about one in the promotion. However, the amount of fame that he has achieved in just 3 years of his UFC career might prompt some fans to say that he is a star in the making.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Most fans know that the payout of a UFC fighter hugely depends upon their popularity. Hence, Gamrot has also earned quite decent amounts from his UFC fights to date. Here's a breakdown of the income from all of his UFC fights to date:</span>

UFC star <strong>Rafael Fiziev</strong> climbed up to the ranks of a title contender in a brief span of 3 years in the promotion. The lightweight fighter had a disappointing start to his promotional debut as he lost the fight against <strong>Magomed</strong>?<strong>Mustafaev</strong> at UFC Fight Night 149.

<strong>Rafael Fiziev</strong> was born in Korday, Kazakhstan on March 5, 1993, to an Azerbaijani father and a Russian mother. While he was a child, his family shifted base to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

A pair of boxing gloves as a gift from his father didn't motivate the #6 ranked lightweight to pick combat sports. However, after encountering bullies due to changes in schools, he took up Muay Thai at the age of 11. He then also simultaneously worked on several other combat sports, including combat sambo, boxing, Jiu Jitsu, and wrestling.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Rafael Fiziev?s Muay Thai career</b></h2>
<strong>Rafael Fiziev</strong> had a splendid Muay Thai record of 39-8. Despite establishing himself as an acclaimed fighter, he failed to ease past against Sorgraw Petchyindee Academy in both the 2016 and 2017 Tokyo Marathon Tournament finals.

In 2017, he went viral on the internet as his lean-back defensive technique drew parallels with Neo, the protagonist of The Matrix.

<strong>Rafael Fiziev</strong> marked his MMA debut in 2015 while still focusing on his Muay Thai career. The Azerbaijani fighter fought in regional promotions, such as ROAD FC and Titan FC, and subsequently, he penned a lucrative deal with UFC in 2019.
