If you want to get hyped for Charles Oliveira vs. Michael Chandler 2, look no further than their first meeting in 2021.
In May 2021, Oliveira (34-10 MMA, 22-10 UFC) and Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) put on one of the best lightweight title fights in UFC history, going toe-to-toe for a little over five action-packed minutes in the main event of UFC 262. After a rocky start, Oliveira put away Chandler in the end to become the new UFC lightweight champion.
Oliveira and Chandler rematch Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 309 – which takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York. Oliveira is coming off a close, title eliminator bout loss to Arman Tsarukyan in April. Meanwhile, Chanlder looks to bounce off a submission loss to Dustin Poirier.
