UFC 262 Oliveira vs. Chandler: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Records: Oliveira 30-8-0 | Chandler 22-5-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
OLIVEIRA (-140) heads into this one with eight consecutive victories, including topping Tony Ferguson by unanimous decision at UFC 256 last time out. The only surprising thing about that fight was that the judges were involved, snapping a 14-bout string of stoppages.
Oliveira will look to use his three-inch reach advantage to keep Chandler at bay. The latter made his UFC debut with a first-round KO/TKO win over Dan Hooker at UFC 257, picking up right where he left off when he finished up at Bellator. Each of Chandler’s past four fights have ended in first-round KO/TKOs with three wins.

Over/Under (O/U)
This title fight should be a good one, and Chandler will finally have met his match. Oliveira will retain his strap with a convincing victory. OLIVEIRA BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (+115) is a nice play, and playing UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (-190) is worth a look as well. Win or lose, Chandler hasn’t gone deep into fights in quite a while.
I also like OLIVEIRA BY KO/TKO OR DQ IN ROUND 1 (+1300), OLIVEIRA BY KO/TKO OR DQ IN ROUND 2 (+1700) for added value. Don’t go crazy, but toss them onto your betting card with small-unit plays. Yes, you’ll lose one end even if he comes through with a knockout in either of the first two rounds. But you’ll be very far ahead if that’s when he wins and by that method of victory.
