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.
With seven finishes in a row, including first-round stoppages against Clay Guida, Jim Miller and Jared Gordon, “do Bronx” puts the future of his MMA career in the hands of his coaches and managers Diego Lima and Jorge Patino “Macaco.”
“I’m not even worried about it,” said Oliveira, who’s currently ranked as one of the best lightweights in the company.
