Vi fick inatt se en ny UFC-mästare i lättvikt krönas då brassen Charles ”do Bronx” Oliveira (31-8, 1 NC) knockade tidigare Bellatormästaren Michael Chandler(22-6) via TKO. Efter detta fick han ta emot ideligen hyllningar från MMA-världen, inte minst från herrarna som möts om att bli Oliveiras utmanare.
Konkurrenterna hyllar Oliveira
Både Dustin Poirier och Conor McGregor, som möts i sommar, valde att efter Charles Oliveiras TKO-seger att gratulera och hylla brassens insats.
Congratulations @CharlesDoBronxs you earned that the hard way! Head up @MikeChandlerMMA highest of the highs and lowest of the lows.

Varnade McGregor efter segern
Det återstår att se om Oliveira nu väntar tills segraren av McGregor vs. Poirier 3 är redo att utmana om titeln eller om han möter en annan toppfighter innan detta. Han valde dock att varna McGregor specifikt efter segern.
