The UFC lightweight division has seen some real superstars these past few years. It started with the rise of Conor McGregor and continued with Nate Diaz. Finally, Khabib Nurmagomedov took over while the rest of the stars like Tony Ferguson and Dustin Poirier quietly kept logging victories.

Now, when Khabib has retired and vacated his lightweight title, it’s the time for somebody to step up. UFC 262 will be the place where the fans will find out who will be the new champion. Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler are fighting for the title in the main event.
