Former UFC interim lightweight titleholder, Justin Gaethje, will return to action at UFC 268 against Michael Chandler in a lightweight clash. ‘The Highlight’ appeared on a UFC show ahead of this weekend’s UFC 265 pay-per-view. He opened up on many things, including his recent inactivity and his upcoming clash against ‘Iron’, who was present on the set as well. The hard-hitting lightweight also shared his prediction for a potential future fight between the current champion of his division, Charles Oliveira, and his former opponent, Dustin Poirier.

(Photo by Brandon Magnus/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) Oliveira bettered Chandler at UFC 262 to get his hands on the prestigious UFC gold. However, Gaethje believes that as there are still signs of quit in the champion, a seasoned veteran like Dustin Poirier might just capitalize on that. Poirier is notably coming off two back-to-back wins against Conor McGregor. JUSTIN GAETHJE PREDICTS POIRIER TO MAKE OLIVEIRA QUIT ‘The Highlight [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/justin-gaethje/]‘ thinks Oliveira is vulnerable when taken into deep waters. Hence, against a born fighter like ‘The Diamond’, ‘Do Bronx’ might just be exposed. “I handicap no match in the sport. I am a fan because luck and chance are always a factor. I think Dustin Poirier is better. I think Charles Oliveira still has the quit deep down in him. Not even deep, pretty shallow. Michael Chandler showed it,” said Gaethje. “Dustin Poirier will make him quit, probably from, you know, being you know, more hungry, more pressure. We’ll see. I mean, I want Charles Oliveira to show me that he doesn’t, he is not a quitter. Because nothing has showed me that,” he added. It’s true the Brazilian champion can be exposed. However, he has eventually managed to reach the top of the mountain with his persistent effort over the years. If anybody deserves the spotlight and attention from the fans, it’s Charles Oliveira. Fans cannot wait to see him take on an Octagon veteran like ‘The Diamond’ in the first defense of his title. Who is your pick? Dustin Poirier [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/] or Charles Oliveira [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-oliveira/]?

UFC lightweight Justin Gaethje believes Dustin Poirier will dethrone the current
champion Charles Oliveira when they eventually fight.

<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>
