Michael Chandler Prepares for UFC 309 Clash with Charles Oliveira

Chandler aims to secure a title shot with a win against Oliveira after a lengthy layoff and a canceled bout with Conor McGregor.

Michael Chandler returns to the octagon at UFC 309 to face Charles Oliveira, marking his first fight in nearly two years.
Chandler had been waiting for a fight with Conor McGregor, which was postponed due to McGregor's injury, prompting Chandler to focus on Oliveira instead.
Despite rumors of the fight being in jeopardy, both Chandler and Oliveira have confirmed the match is set to proceed as planned.
Chandler believes he can expose weaknesses in Oliveira's game, drawing from their previous encounter in 2021 where Chandler initially dominated before losing.
A victory over Oliveira could position Chandler as the next title contender, with plans to challenge the winner of the upcoming lightweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan.
