Michael Chandler: There’s a case for immediate rematch with Charles Oliveira

At 35-years-old, Michael Chandler knows his time at the top is limited, which is why the three-time Bellator lightweight champ is urgently seeking a rematch with Charles Oliveira.

Chandler was finished by Oliveira in the second round of their lightweight title bout at UFC 262, but the MMA veteran is still ranked in the top-five and believes there’s a case to be made for an immediate rematch.

“There’s a case to be out there, and I’ve seen a lot of people say maybe an immediate rematch. There’s a case to be made that I have one fight and beat any other guys in the top five, and I’m right there.
