UFC 262 takeaways: Conor McGregor-Dustin Poirier winner next for Charles Oliveira; Tony Ferguson in free fall

Charles Oliveira did the unexpected Saturday as the Brazilian submission artist knocked out Michael Chandler in the second round of the UFC 262 main event. After an action-packed first round which featured both top lightweights holding their own, Oliveira opened up the second with a massive flurry of punches and became the UFC lightweight champion.

Before Oliveira's win, Beneil Dariush shut down Tony Ferguson in the co-main event. Now that he's defeated the biggest name on his resume, will Dariush be part of the lightweight title conversation or is there simply too much of a logjam at the top?
