MMA – Former champion Charles Oliveira doesn't miss out on being finished but offers himself victory.
This is one of the most anticipated fights of the evening. In the co-main event of UFC 309 in New York, Charles Oliveira faced Michael Chandler. The two men know each other well since they had already faced each other for the belt. As a reminder, in the main event of UFC 262, the Brazilian won the lightweight title by defeating the American by TKO in the second round. So, Iron wants his revenge. Furthermore, the current lightweight champion, Islam Makhachevsaid he was interested in the idea of defending his belt against the winner of this clash.
Course of the fight:
The confrontation is scheduled for 5 rounds. Charles Oliveira starts the fight with a front kick then brings his rival to the ground. The Brazilian seems to have entered his fight perfectly. In the second round, the American still did not find his rhythm and was under pressure from his evening rival. In the third round, Do Bronx is patient and corners his opponent against the cage before bringing him to the ground and controlling him. The fourth round is like the previous one. Michael Chandler hits the former champion hard and he collapses. The American continues his pressing, but Do Bronx don't give in. Result of this shock: Charles Oliveira wins by unanimous decision.
