UFC Lightweight Champion<\/em>\u201d, and with Chandler\u2019s history in mixed martial arts, the odds are in his favour. This American native has impressed Dana White & other UFC champs during his time with Bellator, and that ultimately led to his almost immediate opportunity to contend for the lightweight division belt. <\/p>\nMichael Chandler won\u2019t have an easy time accomplishing his goal of walking away victor as Oliveira will fight diligently to earn his first title. He\u2019ll combat the wrestling skills of Michael by imposing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which was taught to Oliveira by former Brazilian champions. Depending on how long Oliveira can avoid being taken down to the matt will make a substantial difference in the outcome of this fight. However, Michael is infamous for imposing fast takedowns without giving any physical warning to his opponent. Subsequently, this battle will come down to who makes a mistake first.<\/p>\n
Tony Ferguson vs Beneil Dariush <\/h3>\n Odds to win:<\/strong> Tony Ferguson -140<\/em> \/ Beneil Dariush -170<\/em><\/p>\nAfter losing two fights consecutively, Tony Ferguson will look to regain his former momentum and become a likely contender for the UFC Hall of Fame. He\u2019s heading the co-main event for UFC 262, which some analysts suspect could mentally affect Ferguson as he battles against Beneil Dariush. Tony knows that either Oliveira or Chandler are competing for his former lightweight championship belt on the same ticket, and that could see Ferguson making some unexpected mistakes. <\/p>\n
Nobody can deny that Ferguson is an incredible fighter who lost his momentum after being defeated by Justin Gaethje. The damage done to Ferguson was substantial and required extensive hospital treatments. When the UFC welcomed him to fight Charles Oliveira, there was a noticeable change in Fergusons stamina and power. There are some that hope he\u2019ll return to his former strength by training with Freddie Roach, a renowned coach who\u2019s trained Manny Pacquaio and other famous fighters, but only time will tell.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an unlikely reality that Ferguson will overcome Beneil Dariush, who\u2019s five years younger and equally skilled. The bottom line, it will come down to stamina for this co-main event, but ultimately, the odds are in favour of Beneil.<\/p>\n
Katlyn Chookagian vs Viviane Araujo <\/h3>\n Odds to win:<\/strong> Katlyn Chookagian -138<\/em> \/ Viviane Araujo +110<\/em><\/p>\nThere’s another fight that UFC are highly anticipating, Katlyn Chookagian vs Viviane Araujo. After losing to Valentina Shevchenko in February 2020, it’s been a dramatic period for Katlyn’s career. Since then, Chookagian has competed three times in twelve months and defeated the sister of Valentina Shevchenko, Antonina Shevchenko, before losing to Jessica Andrade. The most recent fight with Katlyn “The Blonde Fighter” Chookagian saw her defeat Cynthia Calvillo, which has provided her with another opportunity to compete against Valentina Shevchenko in the future. Whoever wins this fight will face off against Valentina Shevchenko in a title bout for the Bantamweight division. <\/p>\n
Viviane Araujo<\/a> started fighting in the UFC Bantamweight division in May 2019 and has flourished, winning four of her five fights. Her fighting statistics are superior to Chookagian’s on every level, and that has many predicting she will walk away with the win., and subsequently, a future title bout against Valentina Shevchenko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adoring fans in Texas wait for the UFCs to return on May 15th at the Toyota Centre in Houston.
