The Toyota Center in Houston hosts UFC 262 on Saturday headlined by Michael Chandler versus Charles Oliveira for the lightweight title Khabib Nurmagomedov vacated when he retired in October.
The vacant belt sat idle while UFC president Dana White tried his best to lure Nurmagomedov back to the cage, but after finally realizing the undefeated Dagestani wouldn't budge, the Chandler-Oliveira fight was set.
The 35-year-old Chandler signed with the UFC in September after a long run in Bellator in which he won — and lost — the lightweight championship three times.
