Charles Oliveira recently reflected on surpassing $1 million in earnings through a record-setting tally of UFC bonuses. Oliveira extended his octagon record to 23-10 with one no-contest, dominating five rounds to earn a unanimous decision win over former rival Michael Chandler in the co-main event of UFC 309 last Saturday.

UFC 309 marked the fourth time the Brazilian star has earned the Fight of the Night honor.
