Charles Oliveira signs new 8-fight contract with UFC at age 36

Charles Oliveira has signed a new contract with the UFC for eight fights despite being 36 years old. The deal demonstrates the Brazilian lightweight's continued value to the promotion and his status as a top contender in the division. Oliveira remains in demand and competitive at the highest level despite his age, which is relatively advanced for an active fighter in the lightweight division. The length of the contract suggests the UFC expects several more years of elite performance from the former lightweight champion. This represents significant job security for Oliveira as he continues his career.
