Charles Oliveira, Michael Chandler Charles Oliveira is super confident he will become the new UFC lightweight champion on May 15. In the main event of UFC 262, Oliveira and Michael Chandler are set to fight for the vacant lightweight title. It’s a fight many pundits are torn on who will win, but for Oliveira, he doesn’t think Chandler has the skill set to beat him. “I’ll respect him, but I’ll walk forward the entire time,” Oliveira said to MMAFighting. “If he comes to hit me hard, he’ll eat a counter. We both walk forward all the time. It will be two trucks colliding. I’m not afraid of getting hit. Hit me. If he takes me down, I’ll be doing what I love the most, which is jiu-jitsu. I’m not worried if I stay on the feet or get taken down.
