HOUSTON – UFC 262 features one of the most unexpected championship matchups in recent memory, with 11-year UFC veteran Charles Oliveira taking on former Bellator champ Michael Chandler , who has all of two-and-a-half minutes of UFC experience. It’s a fight that wasn’t even possible to book less than nine months ago, with Chandler (22-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC) still fulfilling the end of his Bellator contract before entering free agency. But even upon Chandler’s arrival, the idea of him facing Oliveira (30-8 MMA, 18-8 UFC) for a title seemed all but impossible, yet here we are, with the two headlining Saturday’s pay-per-view event at Toyota Center
