UFC lightweight Michael Chandler is predicting he will win the 155-pound championship against Charles Oliveira on May 15, and then make his first title defense against Conor McGregor before the end of the year.
Of course, Chandler (22-5) has a stiff test ahead of him in Oliveira (30-8) at UFC 262 in Houston. Oliveira, of Brazil, is actually a small favorite to defeat Chandler in their vacant title fight. The title was recently vacated by retired former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Oliveira, 31, has won eight fights in a row. Chandler says he respects what Oliveira has done, but believes he has a tendency to give up if fights aren't going his way.
