Regardless of being stripped of the lightweight title with no chance to regain his crown in the main event, Charles Oliveira continued his dominance in the division by scoring a submission victory over Justin Gaethje in the second round of action on Saturday. In 8:22 of action. Oliveira tallied 30 significant strikes (33 total strikes) while missing his lone takedown try. Securing himself as the No. 1 contender to the vacant title, it's likely we see Oliveira in a showdown with rising Russian star Islam Makhachev. We will cross that bridge when we get to it, but if Oliveira gets the win, he will have basically run through the whole division.--Matt Bricker
