UFC 262 will be the decision to win the championship of the Lightweight – something that both the audience and the boxers had to wait too long after the notice of former King Khabib Nurmagomedov last year. Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler will be two candidates for the championship, with the more likely the new king will continue to meet the winner in the match of Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 3 in July.
The Co-Main match between Tony Ferguson and Beneil Dariush is a replacement for the Leon Edwards vs Nate Diaz match that has been moved to UFC 263 due to Diaz a minor injury. The confrontation with Dariush will have a great influence on the position of former Interim Tony Ferguson in the Lightweight – despite having a series of wins up to 12 matches, now he has a series of 2 losses in a row against Justin Gaethje and Charles Oliveira.
Time: UFC 262 will take place on Sunday morning May 16 (Vietnam time) at Toyota Center Stadium in Houston, Texas, USA. Main card is scheduled to start at 10am. The Main Event Charles Oliveira vs Michael Chandler's match is expected to take place at about 12 o'clock.
