Fights on Tap is a weekly roundup of all the fights booked in the UFC, Bellator and other promotions.
The UFC either announced or finalized 21 fights this week, and a lightweight championship bout has officially been confirmed to headline the final pay-per-view event of the year.
With contracts now signed, reigning champion Charles Oliveira will make his first title defense against No. 1 contender Dustin Poirier at UFC 269 in December. ‘Do Bronx’ won the vacant lightweight championship with a second-round technical knockout of Michael Chandler at UFC 262 this past May.
