4 years agoIt has been a long time coming, but veteran Charles Oliveira (31-8) clinched the UFC lightweight title on Saturday after scoring a second-round TKO over Michael Chandler in the main event of UFC 262. Many expected Oliveira's path to victory to come via submission. After all, he is the UFC's all-time leader in submission victories. After a rocky first round, Oliveira scored the TKO finish over Chandler just 19 seconds into the second round. Statistically, Oliveira collected 24 significant strikes (32 total strikes) and landed one of his two takedowns in 5:19 of total action. With a new champion comes a whole stable of potential matchups. Oliveria is showing that his standup game is as dangerous as his ground game.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
