As predicted by Chandler’s arch-rival, Oliveira dominated the majority of the fight through his impressive grappling. The 35-year-old fighter suffered a pummelling in the fifth after eating a flush right hand to the dome. Dazed by the shot, he had to back away, which led to a takedown and pounding on the floor. Fortunately for him, he managed to gain his composure back, finishing the fight strong.

Chandler’s two year lay-off could have played a role in his second loss to the Brazilian, which the American doesn’t seem to regret. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to see where the American lightweight go from here. This loss could firmly put him out of the title picture.
