UFC 262 viewers guide: Who will succeed Khabib as king of the lightweights? 7dBrett Okamoto play Oliveira and Chandler set eyes on lightweight title (1:06) Charles Oliveira takes on Michael Chandler for the lightweight title belt at UFC 262. (1:06) The UFC's lightweight division is finally ready to move on from Khabib Nurmagomedov, more than half a year after the undefeated champion retired in the Octagon. And it's pretty remarkable that Charles Oliveira (30-8) or Michael Chandler (22-5) will be the one to take Nurmagomedov's throne. When they square off at UFC 262 on Saturday in Houston, it will be the first UFC lightweight title fight since July 2016 to not feature either Nurmagomedov or Conor McGregor. Instead, it will match up two of the best, but often overlooked, lightweights of the past decade.
