UFC Top American Lightweight Michael Chandler named the champion of his division Charles Oliveiro the best fighter of the outgoing year in the promotion.

“Oliveira has been a member of this organization for a long time, and this year he finally won gold, and then defended it in a duel with a guy who has long been widely recognized as the main contender, if not the best lightweight in the world. It has been an incredible year for Charles. Perhaps I will call him the best fighter of 2021. Just look at his achievements this year," Chandler said.

It was in a duel with Chandler that Oliveira won the championship belt, winning by TKO in the second round. It happened on May 16 at UFC 262.
