UFC 262: Oliveira vs. Chandler was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on May 15, 2021 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, United States.[3][4]

Background

[edit]

A UFC Lightweight Championship bout for the vacant title between former three-time Bellator Lightweight World Champion Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira headlined the event.[5] Former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov announced his retirement immediately after defending his title at UFC 254 last October, citing his father's death from complications related to COVID-19 in July as the main reason behind it.[6] Despite his announcement, the title was never officially vacated as UFC President Dana White said several times that he believed Nurmagomedov would still fight again. White finally conceded on March 19 as he confirmed Nurmagomedov's retirement.[7]

A welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Nate Diaz (also The Ultimate Fighter 5 lightweight winner) was expected to take place at this event. It would've marked the first five-round non-title co-main event in UFC history.[8] However, Diaz pulled out due to a minor injury in early May and the bout was postponed to UFC 263.[9]

A flyweight bout between former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger Alex Perez and Matt Schnell was scheduled for the event.[10] However, Perez was forced to pull out due to undisclosed reasons. He was replaced by Rogério Bontorin and the bout took place at bantamweight.[11] At the weigh-ins, Bontorin weighed in at 137 pounds, one pound over the division's non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined 20% of his purse, which went to Schnell.[12]

Joel Álvarez was scheduled to face Christos Giagos in a lightweight bout.[13] However, Álvarez was removed from the bout in early May due to alleged visa issues that restricted his travel. Giagos faced returning veteran Sean Soriano instead.[14]

A middleweight bout between Jack Hermansson and Edmen Shahbazyan was expected to take place at this event.[15] However, the bout was postponed to take place one week later at UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Garbrandt due to a COVID-19 case in Hermansson's camp.[16]

On May 14, it was announced that the UFC would be increasing bonuses (Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night) from $50,000 to $75,000. This increase was for this event only and was made at the request of former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson (also The Ultimate Fighter: Team Lesnar vs. Team dos Santos welterweight winner), who received a raucous response from the audience in attendance at the UFC 262 pre-fight press conference when he made the proposal.[17]

Several hooligans fought in the stands during this event.[18]

  • Fight of the Night: Edson Barboza vs. Shane Burgos
  • Performance of the Night: Charles Oliveira and Christos Giagos

Aftermath

[edit]

In June 2021, Bontorin was notified by USADA due to a potential doping violation. He tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide, a banned diuretic, in an out-of-competition urine sample in May 2021.[21] Following notification of his positive test, Bontorin provided open containers of two dietary supplements he obtained from a Brazilian compounding pharmacy that he was using prior to his positive test for analysis by a WADA-accredited laboratory. Although no prohibited substances were listed on the supplement product labels, the analysis revealed the presence of HCTZ in the products. He was given a three month suspension that began on 1 May and his win was overturned to a no contest.[22][23]

Nurmagomedov, who had held the undisputed UFC Lightweight Championship since April 2018, vacated the title upon his departure from the sport, citing personal reasons including a promise to his mother after the death of his father.

Dustin Poirier defeated Justin Gaethje via TKO (punches) at 1:04 of the second round in a lightweight bout between former interim champions.

Jordan Wright followed with a dominant display in the middleweight division, defeating Jamie Pickett by TKO (punches) at 1:04 of the first round in an explosive early stoppage that showcased Wright's relentless pressure and finishing power from the clinch against the cage.

Post-Event

Bonus Awards

At UFC 262, the Ultimate Fighting Championship awarded its standard post-fight bonuses, elevated to $75,000 each due to a one-time increase approved by UFC president Dana White. This adjustment followed advocacy from lightweight contender Tony Ferguson, who publicly called for higher incentives to reward exciting performances during the event's promotional buildup. White's decision marked a departure from the longstanding $50,000 cap in place since 2013, though the hike was not extended permanently beyond select events. The Fight of the Night bonus went to featherweights and for their intense co-main card bout, characterized by relentless, back-and-forth striking exchanges that showcased high-volume leg kicks, counters, and combinations over three rounds, culminating in Barboza's third-round victory. Each received $75,000 for the performance. Two Performance of the Night awards were distributed. Charles Oliveira earned $75,000 for his second-round TKO of Michael Chandler in the main event, a finish that secured the vacant UFC Lightweight Championship through a devastating knee strike and follow-up ground strikes. On the early preliminary card, Christos Giagos claimed the other $75,000 bonus for submitting Sean Soriano via rear-naked choke in the second round, demonstrating precise grappling control after an early takedown. In total, $300,000 in bonus money was distributed across the four recipients, highlighting the event's emphasis on rewarding standout athletic displays.

Aftermath and Impacts

Charles Oliveira's victory at UFC 262 marked a significant milestone, as he became the first Brazilian to claim the UFC championship since in 2015, ending a period of international dominance in the division. This triumph propelled Oliveira into a series of high-profile defenses, including a successful first defense against at via submission, followed by a knockout win over at to retain the title. His reign concluded with a submission loss to at in October 2022, after which he won a rematch against at UFC 309 on November 16, 2024 (49-46, 49-46, 49-45). As of November 2025, Oliveira remains a top contender in the division. In the bantamweight bout, Rogerio Bontorin's unanimous decision win over was overturned to a no contest following a positive out-of-competition for hydrochlorothiazide, a banned , collected on May 1, 2021, just before the event. Bontorin accepted a three-month suspension from USADA, retroactive to the test date and concluding in August 2021, after providing evidence of contamination from a tainted supplement. This violation highlighted ongoing challenges in the UFC's anti-doping program during its early post-vacancy phase. Despite the defeat, received widespread praise for his explosive first-round performance, where he scored two knockdowns and nearly finished Oliveira, showcasing the aggressive wrestling style that defined his Bellator tenure. UFC President commended Chandler's effort post-fight, noting it solidified his status as a top contender. This outing paved the way for subsequent marquee matchups, including a second-round knockout victory over at and a rematch loss to Oliveira at UFC 309. The lightweight division underwent notable shifts following the event, with Beneil Dariush's dominant unanimous decision over elevating him to serious title contention, as he entered the official UFC rankings at No. 3 and called for an eliminator bout. Dariush's seven-fight at the time positioned him for future challenges against Oliveira and other elites. Conversely, Ferguson's lopsided loss extended his skid to two consecutive defeats, a stark contrast to his prior 12-fight win streak, and foreshadowed further struggles, culminating in a fourth straight loss to in May 2022. Ferguson's UFC tenure ended with eight consecutive losses, leading to his release from the promotion in early 2025; he snapped the skid with a TKO win in a non-UFC match in August 2025. UFC 262 played a key role in the promotion's post-COVID recovery, drawing a full-capacity crowd of over 17,000 at Houston's Toyota Center—the largest sporting event in the city since the pandemic began—and generating strong pay-per-view numbers amid returning fan attendance. The event's success underscored the UFC's resilience, with Dana White describing the atmosphere as a symbol of normalcy. Additionally, the one-time increase of performance and Fight of the Night bonuses to $75,000, prompted by Tony Ferguson's public plea, marked a temporary boost that sparked broader discussions on fighter compensation, influencing later permanent adjustments to bonus structures in 2025.
