In addition to a shiny new belt he held like a baby, Charles Oliveira has another post-fight bonus to add to his total.
Oliveira captured the UFC lightweight title with a comeback knockout of Chandler just 19 seconds into the second round of UFC 262’s headliner. It was his 18th performance bonus in the octagon, and it came with a raise after the UFC upped the payouts to $75,000 from $50,000 courtesy of Tony Ferguson.
Neither Ferguson nor his opponent, Beneil Dariush, were able to take advantage of the pay bump on Saturday at Toyota Center in Houston.
