UFC 262 viewers guide: Who will succeed Khabib as king of the lightweights? 7dBrett Okamoto play Oliveira and Chandler set eyes on lightweight title (1:06) Charles Oliveira takes on Michael Chandler for the lightweight title belt at UFC 262. (1:06) The UFC s lightweight division is finally ready to move on from Khabib Nurmagomedov, more than half a year after the undefeated champion retired in the Octagon. And it s pretty remarkable that Charles Oliveira (30-8) or Michael Chandler (22-5) will be the one to take Nurmagomedov s throne. When they square off at UFC 262 on Saturday in Houston, it will be the first UFC lightweight title fight since July 2016 to not feature either Nurmagomedov or Conor McGregor.

Feb 25, 2021 Longtime UFC lightweight contender and recent featherweight mover, Edson Barboza has put pen to paper on a new multi-fight deal with the UFC furthering his so far eleven-year stay with the North American-based organization. A staple of the promotion’s lightweight top-ten and top-five on occasion, the Muay Thai ace recently tested featherweight waters in a somewhat surprising move last May and has so far established a 1-1 record at 145-pounds, claiming the #14 rank. Debuting at the featherweight limit at a UFC Fight Night event in Jacksonville, Florida in May Barboza dropped a hugely-contentious split decision defeat to Hawaii’s, Dan Ige on his divisional bow.
