UFC 274: Oliveira vs. Gaethje

After a standout 2021 campaign in which he captured and successfully defended the UFC lightweight title by finishing Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier, Charles Oliveira begins his second year as champion on May 7, defending the crown against former interim titlist Justin Gaethje in the UFC 274 main event. Living up to his nickname 'The Highlight' every time he steps into the Octagon, Gaethje will attempt to ride the momentum from his Fight of the Year victory over Michael Chandler, aiming to seize Oliveira's title in a bout poised to set the bar for 2022. Meanwhile, UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas has an opportunity to avenge a painful loss as she faces top contender Carla Esparza in a long-awaited rematch between the world's premier 115-pound fighters.
