Former undisputed lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira is set to return to action at UFC 309 in November — booking an impromptu five round co-headliner against former-foe, Michael Chandler at Madison Square Garden — with the latter missing out on a fight with ex-two-weight champion, Conor McGregor, albeit for the timebeing.
Oliveira, the current number two ranked divisional contender, has been out of action since he featured on the main card of UFC 300 back in April — suffering a controversial split decision loss against surging number one contender, Arman Tsarukyan.
As for Chandler, the former three-time Bellator MMA lightweight champion has been out of action for come two years by the time his November comeback rolls around, most recently succumbing to a rear-naked choke defeat against common-foe, Dustin Poirier.
