Charles Oliveira is the new UFC lightweight champion. He earned that title with a TKO win over Michael Chandler in the early going of the second round of their UFC 262 main event matchup.
With his title winning finish, Oliveira moved his winning streak to nine straight fights — all but one being a stoppage victory — and set the record for most stoppages in UFC history with 17.
Heading into this fight, Chandler labeled Oliveira a quitter. During the scrap, the UFC commentary team questioned how Oliveira would deal with the adversity he faced during the first round against Chandler.
