May 12, 2021
Charles Oliveira earned his UFC lightweight title shot against Michael Chandler at UFC 262 after a dominant victory over Tony Ferguson at UFC 256 in December last year. UFC 262 goes down in Houston on Saturday, May 15.
Oliveira, ranked no. 4 in the division, is riding an eight-fight winning streak. He holds the record for the most submission wins in UFC history. He’s also earned 16 performance-based bonuses in his 11 years with the fight promotion.
Chandler, ranked no. 4 in the weight class, made his Octagon debut at UFC 257 in January and made a statement with a knockout win over Dan Hooker. The former three-time Bellator MMA lightweight champion hopes to add a UFC belt to his trophy case.
Leon Edwards vs. Nate Diaz moved to UFC 263
May 4, 2021
The welterweight bout between Nate Diaz and no. 3 ranked Leon Edwards will no longer take place at UFC 262 on May 15. The bout has been rescheduled to appear on the UFC 263 fight card on June 12.
Yahoo!Sports first broke the news on Monday evening and the change has been confirmed by multiple media outlets.
The bout was pushed back due to Diaz suffering a minor injury in training that prevented him from making the May 15th date. The undisclosed injury forced the bout to be pushed back four weeks.
Edwards last competed in March in a fight with Belal Muhammad that ended in a No Contest due to an accidental eye poke. Edwards hasn’t lost a fight since December 2015 when current champion Kamaru Usman defeated him by unanimous decision.
