The former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos has seen a sharp fall from grace in recent years. He was the champion of the world during an incredible 5-match winning streak, which included impressive wins over the likes of Nate Diaz and Benson Henderson. He then bested the former champion in Anthony Pettis to capture the belt in 2014 and defended it against Donald Cerrone. However, he lost the belt to Eddie Alvarez and never got close to gold since then. Currently ranked #7 in the official UFC lightweight rankings [https://www.ufc.com/rankings], he is still among the elites of the division. In a tweet uploaded on his Twitter account, dos Anjos admitted that the division was a shark tank and sh0wed some excitement for his future. “Lightweight division it’s a shark tank, can’t wait to see what’s next for me. I’m healing up…can’t wait to be back in action,” he said. However, he didn’t stop there and praised the new champion, Charles Oliveira, for his incredible 2nd-round knockout win over Michael Chandler [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-chandler/]. “Congrats to the new champ! Amazing performance btw,” he concluded. Oliveira overcame Chandler in the 2nd round after the first was dominated by the American. It looked like Chandler had rocked the Brazilian and even had him in a guillotine choke for a while. However, Oliveira [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-oliveira/] battled through and finished Chandler with ground strikes to become the 11th UFC Lightweight Champion of the world. RAFAEL DOS ANJOS AND HIS LAST FIGHT AGAINST PAUL FELDER dos Anjos has some momentum by his side after he beat Paul Felder [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/paul-felder/] in an amazing fight that went one way and then the other. The fight earned both of them fight of the night honors, and it ended in a split decision win for the Brazilian. It was a highly equal fight on the feet, with Felder edging dos Anjos on significant strikes, even though the Brazilian had more strikes in total. However, it was the 6 takedowns by dos Anjos that turned the tie in his favor. Do you think Rafael dos Anjos can mount another charge at the title? Out Conor McGregor to Start an Epic Rivalry [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-youre-taking-everything-i-worked-for-m-when-nate-diaz-called-out-conor-mcgregor-to-start-an-epic-rivalry/]. 

Former UFC lightweight champion, Rafael Dos Anjos, congratulated the new
lightweight champion Charles Oliveira after his title win.

<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">

<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 Oliveiraâ€™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>â€œMy babe.â€Â </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 SaÃºde GuarujÃ¡ 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 toÂ <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 againstÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/islam-makhachev/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Islam Makhachev</a>Â 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.

<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 forcingÂ <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. The fighter is also associated with big brands such as <span style="font-weight: 400">Monster Energy, Jaco Clothing, and Hayabusa Fightwear.</span>

The success Michael Chandler had in his life, he claims, is because of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-ufc-262-a-look-at-michael-chandlers-relationship-with-his-father-michael-chandler-sr/"><strong>the support system his father provided him</strong></a>. He would also talk about his father's sacrifices, with his mother by his side, has been the quintessential factor for his standing as a top-tier athlete in mixed martial arts. As a young athlete, Chandler found tremendous success in wrestling, with 100 career wins and becoming a Division I All-American, which is just a couple of accolades on the list of many more.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Michael Chandlerâ€™s Wife and Children</h2>
Michael Chandler's been off the market for a while as he's married now. He has been with his wife, Brie Chandler, for over a decade, and they got engaged in 2014. The decision to tie the knot came in September of that year, and ever since, they have been each other's backbones. Meanwhile, Brie possesses an extensive background from an educational point of view. Pursuing Biology and Psychology at Taylor University in Indiana was her first step, as Chandler's wife also acquired her graduation degree with a master's in Physician Assistant studies.

Michael Chandler and his wife also have two children, two boys, but they're not his biological sons. 'Iron' and his wife, Brie, love the idea of adoption and through that they welcomed their first son <strong>Hap</strong> of African-American descent in 2017 to their family, followed by another African-American child, <strong>Ace</strong>, who joined Chandler's family in April 2022.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Michael Chandlerâ€™s Net Worth 2024</h2>
'Iron' has been fighting in the world of MMA since 2009. But it's only been a few years of him fighting in the UFC, and he's one of the very few non-champion UFC fighters who've ever touched the million-dollar mark in terms of a single payout. As of 2024, Chandler's net worth is estimated to be looming around the $1-2 million mark. The biggest payout the 38-year-old ever received amounted to an estimated total of $1,074,500 for the Tony Ferguson fight at UFC 274, which also included bonuses.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Michael Chandlerâ€™s Career Timeline</h2>
After turning pro, Michael Chandler spent almost a decade fighting in UFC's rival promotion, Bellator. After fighting in Strikeforce and a regional promotion, racking up a 3-fight winning steak, 'Iron' would join Bellator in 2010 and extend his undefeated record to 12-0. That was the longest winning streak of his professional MMA career, defeating the likes of Patricky Pitbull, and former UFC champion Eddie Alvarez. In those 12 wins, fans saw Chandler register 5 knockouts, 5 submissions, and 2 decision wins.

Michael Chandler would rack up a record of 21 wins and 5 losses before he made his way to the UFC. Then, when he came to Dana White's $12 billion-worth promotion, he started off with a win over Dan Hooker. Chandler would also register a win over Tony Ferguson, however, he would fail three times in his 5-fight UFC career so far, against Dustin Poirier, Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje - the absolute cream of the crop in the lightweight division.

And after his last appearance against Poirier for UFC 281, his bout against Conor McGregor for UFC 303 was canceled as McGregor pulled out citing injury.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Michael Chandlerâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</h2>
Michael Chandler has only a couple of endorsement deals. The first one is with a cryptocurrency company called <strong>CoinLoin</strong> and the other is with a whey protein brand named <strong>Dymatize</strong>.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Michael Chandlerâ€™s Career Stats and Record</h2>
Michael Chandler's current MMA record stands at 23 wins and 8 losses. The High Ridge native is a finishing expert and hence has a total of 11 knockout wins and 7 submission wins on his record. Out of the 31 fights Chandler's had, only 5 of them were winning via decision. Furthermore, to claim that his UFC debut was impressive would be an understatement, as he won the 'Debut of the Year' honor in 2021.

Chandler also earned bonuses twice for 'Fight of the Night' in the losing efforts against Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Michael Chandlerâ€™s Charity and Foundation</h2>
Michael Chandler is also quite a philanthropist. He's established an affinity with kids struggling with cancer after he once interacted with a 7-year-old patient named <strong>Robbie Chandler</strong>. The child would, unfortunately, pass away, leaving Chandler in an emotional mess, promoting him to sell customized T-shirts, which had <em>"Blessed"Â </em>imprinted on them, and he even made a tattoo of it on the left side of his chest. The revenue generated from theÂ <em>"Blessed"Â </em>T-shirts would go to the<strong> Friends of Kids with Cancer</strong>, which was Michael Chandler's attempt to help children battle cancer.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Michael Chandlerâ€™s Titles</h2>
Michael Chandler has won many accolades in the UFC, but never any championship title. However, he was a champion when he spent 10 tears in Bellator.

 	<li><strong>Two successful title defenses (first reign)</strong></li>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Nate Diaz: </b><b>Net Worth 2024, Record, Wife, and More</b></h2>
<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW">What is Nate Diaz's net worth in 2024?</h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">The younger Diaz from the suburbs of Stockton, California, is an immensely noted figure in the world of MMA. Nate Diaz came into the limelight when he started cornering his elder brother Nick Diaz for his 'Strikeforce' fights. After looking at his involvement in the sport, a lot might have already understood that it won't take Diaz much long to trace his brother's footsteps. Post his UFC signing in 2007, Diaz established a legacy of his own with his nearly 15-year-long career and also earned several sumptuous purses from his bouts. As of 2024, the 'Stockton Slapper' boasts a net worth of a whopping $8M.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Like every other UFC fighter, Diaz also received his salary per fight during his contract. UFC fans might know that it also varies from one fight to another. Reportedly, the '39-year-old' bagged a whopping $2M as the base salary for his rematch against the noted UFC icon, Conor McGregor at UFC 196. While his final UFC fight at UFC 279 reportedly earned him a salary of $750,000.</p>
