UFC 262 has the chance to be a storybook moment in the brilliant career of Michael Chandler. The former Bellator star finally has his chance for UFC gold, competing for the vacant lightweight title in the main event of Saturday’s UFC 262 card. But one major obstacle stands in Chandler’s path.

Chandler’s opponent, Charles Oliveira, has decimated opponents in his last eight fights, and he is primed to win his ninth in a row—and start his own long-awaited championship—with a victory against Chandler.

Despite only having one title fight, the main card for 262 is full of compelling bouts.
