Charles “Do Bronx” Oliveira (30-8) is the third ranked contender for the UFC Lightweight title, and this is his first shot at a UFC championship. He’s also been one of the most active fighters in the promotion, with eight wins in eight fights over the last three years. Since returning to Lightweight, Oliveira has been 9-1 and steadily climbing up the rankings. In that stretch, he also scored seven Performance of the Night awards. Now after back to back wins over other ranked contenders, Oliveira is fighting for the vacant title.
Last October, Khabib Nurmagomedov retired from the UFC after a perfect 29-0 record after beating number two contender Justin Gaethje, leaving behind the Lightweight Championship. Since then, the scramble has been on. The current top contender Dustin Poirier knocked out Conor McGregor back in January of 2021. Those two already have a rematch on the books, so neither will be available for a title shot until they settle the score. Now it’s Oliveira turn to try to extend his record number of submission finishes and win the title to crown his 11 year UFC career.
“Iron” Michael Chandler (22-5) is the fourth ranked contender for the UFC Lightweight crown, even though this three time Bellator Lightweight champion is in only his second UFC fight ever. He joined Bellator in 2010, just one year into his MMA career, and he won his first title there in 2011. He defeated another UFC Lightweight champion, Eddie Alvarez, to claim that first belt. In his UFC debut back in January, he made quick work of Dan Hooker and earned a Performance of the Night award for his first round knockout. Now Chandler has the chance to add UFC champion to his long and distinguished career.
