Auf wieder bye-bye Nurmagomedov, Olivera-v-Chandler for title

[Beetlegeuse]

Apparently his decision hinged on a promise that Khabib made to his mother never to fight without his father in his corner. So you can stick him with a fork, he's done. You gotta admire who does what he says even if only because he said it.

Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira will fight for the lightweight belt at UFC 262, scheduled for 15 May, location not yet disclosed.

In typical Dana White fashion, he avoided picking either the #1 or #2 contenders in the fight for the vacant title, skipping over Poirier and Gaethje for #3 and #4. Proving once again that even UFC management considers its rankings meaningless.

... and the point was not lost on the #2-ranked Justin Gaethje.

Now Khabib implies that Dana White was full of shit (not in those words) because he never once considered un-retiring.
