Michael Chandler is already a former MMA lightweight world champion. He won the title on three separate occasions in Bellator, punching his spot on an elite list of the best fighters in the world. Yet question marks and doubt never stopped surrounding whether or not he would have the same success if he were competing for a title in the UFC.
That question will finally be answered on Saturday with Chandler pitted against Charles Oliveira in the main event of UFC 262 in a bout to determine the new lightweight champion.
“Winning UFC gold is the epitome of accomplishment inside this sport,” says Chandler.
