Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler will fight for the vacant UFC lightweight championship in the main event of UFC 262 tonight at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN+. UFC expects a capacity crowd of 19,000 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Oliveira enters the match with an eight-fight win streak, including seven successful finishes by submission and knockout. Oliveira holds UFC’s all-time record for most submission wins with 14. Former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler made his UFC debut in January with a first-round knockout win over Dan Hooker.
The winner of Oliveira vs. Chandler will likely face the victor of the UFC 264 main event between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor. UFC’s lightweight championship has been vacant since March; former champ Khabib Nurmagomedov announced his retirement following an October 2020 title defense.
The UFC 262 main card costs $70 and requires an ESPN+ subscription for $6 a month or $60 per year. ESPN is also offering a discounted price of $89.98 for a bundle with UFC 262 and one year of ESPN+; a 30% discount.
