5 months agoMichael Chandler will look to get back in the win column when he takes on Charles Oliveira in the co-main event of UFC 309. Chandler was last seen in action at UFC 282 where he lost via third-round submission to Dustin Poirier. He had been sidelined for years waiting on a promised fight with Conor McGregor. They were scheduled to headline UFC 303 but McGregor pulled out of the fight because of an injury, so Chandler decided to move on and accept a rematch against Oliveira. When the two faced each other at UFC 262, Chandler got TKOd in the second round. DraftKings sees Chandler as the underdog with a salary of $7,200. Throughout his UFC career of five bouts, he averages 65.3 fantasy points per contest.
