Alex Oliveira aiming for performance bonus at UFC 272: ‘I need the money’

Welterweight Alex Oliveira is in dire need of a win at UFC 272.

Possibly fighting for his job, ‘Cowboy’ comes into the fight on a dreaded three-fight skid and knows a fourth loss most likely will get him released from the promotion. However, that is not the only one of the Brazilian’s concerns.

In an interview with Combate, Oliveira explained that he will also be looking for a knockout win against Holland, in order to secure a performance bonus. According to Alex, the $50,000 prize money would be a very welcome bonus given his current financial situation.
