With Khabib Nurmagomedov's retirement this past October, the lightweight division is in need of a new champion. Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira will battle for that honor when the two face off for the vacant championship in the main event of UFC 262 from the Toyota Center in Houston on Saturday night.
Chandler, who held the Bellator MMA lightweight title on three separate occasions, is among the hottest fighters in the sport. He holds a 10-2 record since 2015 with one of those losses coming via freak foot injury. Chandler made an emphatic debut when he stopped Dan Hooker in the first round in January and was elevated to title contention immediately. Oliviera is about equal in terms of hotness. The Brazilian enters on an eight-fight win streak and recently broke the UFC record for most submissions in a career.
The lightweight action doesn't stop with the main event as contenders Tony Ferguson and Beneil Dariush battle for positioning in the 155-pound division in the evening's co-main event. Those fights, along with the July rubber match between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor will serve to shape the top end of the division in the wake of Nurmagomedov's decision to step away from the sport.
The pay-per-view main card action gets underway at 10 p.m. ET, following prelims ESPN at 8 p.m. and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ESPN+ at 6:30 p.m.
