Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira clash in the main event of UFC 262 tonight, with the vacant lightweight title on the line following former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov’s recent retirement.

The Russian called time on his career with an undefeated record of 29-0, bowing out with a submission victory over interim titleholder Justin Gaethje in October.

Now, the gold is up for grabs as Oliveira (30-8) looks to extend his eight-fight win streak as he takes on Chandler (22-5), a former three-time Bellator lightweight champion who made his UFC debut in January.

The American defeated Dan Hooker via first-round TKO in the pair’s co-main event meeting at UFC 257, moments before Dustin Poirier knocked out Conor McGregor.
