Overview
- Coach Diego Lima told AG Fight that the 36-year-old has agreed to an eight-fight deal to stay with the UFC.
- Lima said the contract lines up bouts until about age 40 and called the terms "a wonderful deal."
- Oliveira holds the BMF belt after beating Max Holloway in March, but the new agreement does not include an immediate lightweight title fight.
- His path will hinge on upcoming matchmaking in a crowded division, with reports pointing to a Topuria–Justin Gaethje unification at the White House event.
- Finishing the pact would bring his total to about 45 UFC appearances, adding to his promotion records for most submissions, most finishes and most post-fight bonuses.
