Chairez faced Daniel Lacerda on September 16, 2023, at UFC Fight Night 227. He had initially won the fight after submitting Lacerda via anaconda choke, but the result was changed to a no contest after a referee error, which attracted controversy.[12]
Chairez was expected to face Daniel Lacerda again at UFC Fight Night 230, but the fight was canceled due to Lacerda's medical issues after the weigh-in. The rematch was rescheduled for February 24, 2024 at UFC Fight Night 237.
