Big news in the MMA world: BMF champion Charles Oliveira has just signed a massive new eight-fight contract with the UFC, and his coach is calling it "an incredible deal."

At 36 years old, the former UFC lightweight champ is showing no signs of slowing down. His coach, Diego Lima, shared the exciting update with AGFight, revealing that the UFC's all-time finishes leader has locked in a long-term commitment that could see him step into the octagon a total of 45 times if he sees this contract through.

"There's not a single bad thing to say, it was an incredible deal," Lima said. "We've got fights lined up until Charles is 40 years old. So for those people who were saying he was going to retire, just wait a bit longer."

Oliveira's career has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. After falling short in his bid to regain the 155-pound title with a first-round knockout loss to Ilia Topuria in July, he bounced back in spectacular fashion. He submitted Mateusz Gamrot and then delivered a dominant decision victory over Max Holloway in March to claim the coveted BMF belt.

Now, with a fresh contract in hand, Oliveira has his sights firmly set on recapturing the UFC lightweight championship. The division landscape is shifting, especially with Topuria and Justin Gaethje set to unify belts at UFC Freedom 250 on June 14 at the White House in Washington, D.C. Where Oliveira fits into that picture remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: "Do Bronx" isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

For fans of the sport, this is a welcome development. Oliveira's fighting style—relentless, technical, and always entertaining—has made him a fan favorite. Whether he's chasing submissions or trading blows, every fight is a must-watch. And with eight more bouts on the horizon, we've got plenty more highlights to look forward to.
