His jiu jitsu is ridiculous.” “He only has to get them done once for the whole fight to change.” “Islam should be next in line for the title.” “Having that level of grappling and control on the ground puts a level of fear into his opponents that he can just start unloading bombs with his hands because he has absolute control of the game. “On the way down, whether he could wrap something before Khabib got him in the grasp would be awesome to see.” “[Oliveira] could catch [Khabib] on the feet,” he said of the hypothetical bout.

'I am the most entertaining lightweight on the planet. Tony Ferguson suffered a sickening defeat against Michael Chandler at UFC 274 on Saturday - Tony Ferguson suffered a sickening defeat against Michael Chandler at UFC 274

The fan made a beeline for the cage after Oliveira had choked out Justin Gaethje in the main event at UFC 274 in Arizona.

Gaethje returned to winning ways by outpointing Michael Chandler in an all-time classic last year. She then began to climb the fence before she was thrown to the ground by a security guard. I am the champion.

Khabib Nurmagomedov saw Charles Oliveira extend his undefeated run against Justin Gaethje and has called for teammate Islam Makhachev to get a title shot.

Khabib asked when someone claimed that his teammate and Dariush should meet to decide who is the number one contender. Chandler called out the winner of the title fight and also talked about the prospect of fighting Conor McGregor in the future, with the Irishman set to return to action at some point in the relatively near future. That was meant to be Beneil Dariush and he is also set to be Makhachev's next opponent, but Khabib answered thinks that fight should be skipped in favour of the title clash.

Two of UFC 274's most exciting fights should produce mouthwatering next matchups.

Beneil Dariush: Chandler bounced back from a tough first round against Tony Ferguson and dolled out a Knockout of the Year contender. The UFC women's strawweight Rose Namajunas and Carla Esparza will certainly go down as one of the worst fights in history but, fortunately, that means the division can only go up from here. Michael Chandler wore the damage dished out by Tony Ferguson and shut the lights out with a fascinating front kick KO. Saturday's pay-per-view from Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona was a mixed bag, but the lightweight division showed up and showed out.

Chandler now has the opportunity to contend for the vacant lightweight title or possibly face Conor McGregor.

“I’ve quickly become that guy, the one who’s going to put butts in seats, sell pay-per-views, and brings it in the cage,” Chandler said. At this stage of his immense popularity and power, McGregor only accepts fights against opponents that can sell the fight with him. As for his future, all signs point to a showdown against McGregor, an icon of the sport. The extent of the blow was noticeable instantaneously, a vicious shot that carried with it the potential to cause significant damage. Then I felt the impact and saw him crumble. I just threw something up the middle, and it landed. My heart goes out to Tony for a speedy recovery.” Further compounding the moment was Ferguson spiking his head as he dropped onto the mat. A loss would make him drop to the bottom of the Top 10 rankings, ending any shot of competing for the title or even getting a career-defining bout against Conor McGregor. But before too much doubt crept into Chandler’s mind, he was back on his feet. Chandler finished the round with momentum off a takedown doubled with his ground-and-pound, but there was already swelling under his eye. In an instant, Chandler’s dreams of UFC glory seemed to evaporate. “My vision was affected,” Chandler said.

It's been 10 months since Conor McGregor stepped in The UFC Octagon. But he's back in the news this weekend following the events of UFC 274.

The two never fought despite Ferguson's desire to face the UFC superstar. McGregor posted a few photos from his weekend. Afterwards, he called out The Notorious One, trying to coax him out of retirement for a big money fight.

"This is a message to the entire division; I am a problem for the entire division," he shouted after the fight. "I am enlightened, I am the champion, this is my title and it should be here. “There’s so many moving parts to this beast of a machine that we run every week, and we’ve got to have a security guard in there where the scale is now. However despite the devastating blow ahead of the fight, Oliveira finished yet another opponent at 155lb to continue his sensational record-breaking career. UFC president Dana White confirmed after the event that security guards would be brought to the scales to prevent a repeat of the nightmare scenario. The fight went ahead with Oliveira choking out his rival to set up a shot at the vacant title in his next bout.

"I think there was a total of six punches in the first round; it's a tough one but it happens sometimes. “I felt like as if I landed the more shots," Namajunas said. "I even took her down.

After an impressive UFC 274 finish, Charles Oliveira staked his claim in the loaded lightweight division. Who is next to face off against the "champion" for ...

Whoever lines up across from Oliveira next, the intrigue is going to deliver on plenty of levels. Islam Makhachev is the one many fight fans are clamoring to see go up against Oliveira.

Oliveira did not have the championship belt placed around his waist afterwards by UFC President Dana White due to him missing the weight limit. It ended with Gaethje wrapped up in a choke hold from Oliveira, leading to a tap-out in the first round. Oliveira has earned that right, and his beatdown on Gaethje in Phoenix was his latest shining example.

Oliveira choked out Justin Gaethje at UFC 274 but is no longer the lightweight champion after being stripped of his title for failing to make weight.

But I’d love to fight the Brazilian, 100 per cent! UFC president Dana White wants to reschedule his bout with Beneil Dariush - but could be tempted to ditch that fight and plunge Makhachev in at the deep end. And the Irishman seems set to return at welterweight having bulked up to 190lb during his time on the sidelines.
