Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler

Hardly ten days after the UFC reported a sellout for UFC 261, they have reported another one as the tickets for UFC 262 was also sold out in a few minutes. The event is set to take place on the 15th of May, this year at Houston, Texas (with full capacity crowds). A total of 17000 tickets were sold in double-quick time.

A chuffed Dana White took to social media to express his excitement, saying that he couldn’t wait for Jacksonville (venue for UFC 261) and Houston. And to make things interesting, both UFC 261 and UFC 262 are stacked with some insane fights.

UFC 262 is headlined by Michael Chandler vs Charles Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title. A welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and Nate Diaz (making a return after a long layoff) will be the co-main event, making it the first five round non-title co-main event in UFC history.

Another fight to watch out for is the contest between Tony Ferguson and Beneil Dariush. Tony Ferguson will be looking forward to ending his losing streak when he takes on the hard-as-nails Dariush. Other notable fights are Jack Hermansson vs Edmen Shahbazyan and Alex Perez vs Matt Schnell.
