HOUSTON (AP) — Charles Oliveira claimed the UFC lightweight title Saturday night, stopping Michael Chandler with a barrage of punches early in the second round at UFC 262. After both fighters traded big shots in a back-and-forth opening round, Oliveira abruptly dropped Chandler with a left hook in the opening seconds of the second round. Dariush nearly finished Ferguson with a heel hook in the second round, but Ferguson kicked his way out of it. Muniz’s victory was his fifth straight since joining the UFC, while the 41-year-old Souza has lost four straight. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
