Michael Chandler says his ‘sixth sense’ will protect him from Charles Oliveira’s submissions

After just one win in the UFC, albeit an impressive one, former Bellator champ Michael Chandler has scored a UFC lightweight title fight. At UFC 262 on May 15 he’s scheduled to meet Charles Oliveira for the belt that was recently vacated by Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Chandler’s promotional debut was a stunning KO of Dan Hooker. The American has won almost half of his 22 victories by strikes. And he thinks he’ll add another TKO/KO to his record after he faces Oliveira.

He recently told TMZ that he expects to keep the fight standing versus Do Bronx.
