UFC 262- Oliveira vs. Chandler - weigh-in's.jpg

The staredowns for 'UFC 262' (#UFC262) were intense, to say the least! So if you're not slathering at the bit for this PPV, then (I guess you're well balanced lol) who knows!

Everyone in the women's Flyweight division is trying to improve their situation, as they know fresh blood is needed, when it comes to challenges for the crown. A factor that makes the two fights on the card real interesting.

I mean, Andrea Lee (@andreakgblee) is a vet of 'Invicta FC' (@invictafc) and the 'UFC', but she's been having tough times of late. So winning tonight could be make or break. She's fighting an Antonina Shevchenko (@antoninapantera) 🇰🇬 🇵🇪 who has a wealth of Muay Thai experience, but is learning on the job when it comes to MMA. It looks like she's found her flow though, so tonight is about showing it's not all bout her sister!

Then with Gina Mazany (@ginadangerak) 🦖 & Priscila Cachoeira (@pedritaufc) 🇧🇷 both are coming off wins, after having rocky periods. So they both want to start that potential run to the top, but who will it be!?!

There are four 'Straight Fire' fights on this card:

With Ronaldo Souza (@ronaldojacare) vs Andre Muniz (@andremunizsergipano) 🇧🇷 you have the vet, going against the young gun. Though, I don't think the vet is ready to go off with slippers and a pipe.

Shane Burgos (@hurricaneshane_) & Edson Barboza (@edsonbarbozajr) 🇧🇷 are both gunslingers, who knows if either have been in a boring rumble. So this will be a case of who can last longer!

Out of the six Flyweights on the card, Katlyn Chookagian (@blondefighter) 🇺🇸 🇦🇲 got her crack at 'UFC 247' (#UFC247) so she knows the next one isn't right away. But every win is a knock on the door. For Viviane Araújo (@viviaraujomma) 🇧🇷 who's on a two fight streak, a win could bring her to an eliminator. So there's a lot to play for‼️

The Co-main features Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) 🇲🇽 🇺🇸 against Beneil Dariush (@beneildariush) 🇮🇷 Dariush has won his last six, but this is his toughest ever challenge! And Ferguson might be coming off losses, BUT, they're to the best in the division. He's gone away, made corrections, and tonight he's ready to show that its CSO‼️

AND, in the Main event, Charles Oliveira (@CharlesDoBronxs) 🇧🇷 & Michael Chandler (@MikeChandlerMMA) vie for the vacant Lightweight Championship Oliveira has been in the 'UFC' since 01.08.2010, grinding to get to this moment. Chandler debuted 23.01.2021, but he's worn gold before, and with the way he kicked down the door, you know he's ready for this! BOTH have a lot to prove, who's walking out AndNew......
