UFC 274: Oliveira vs Gaethje Fight Card

UFC 274 fight cards are announced and the night looks like it will be an excellent one. The main card is for the Lightweight title as the champion Charles Oliveira (32-8-0) takes on #1 Lightweight contender Justin Gaethje (24-3-0). Oliveira has won his last ten fights in the UFC, while Justin Gaethje (24-3-0) lost his second to last fight to the division champ at the time, Nurmagomedov.

The co-main event will be headlined by Women’s Strawweight champion Rose Namajunas (12-4-0) vs Carla Esparza (19-6-0). Esparza will be a good competitor for the Strawweight title as she hasn’t lost a fight since 2018. Both of these women were featured in our Top 10 Female UFC Fighters article as #8 and #7. These fights will be airing live on ESPN + on Saturday, May 7 at 9:00 PM CDT from the Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ. Check below for all the matchups and the entire UFC 274 Countdown episode.
