Two title fights will top the UFC 274 card later tonight (Sat., May 7, 2022) live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Charles Oliveira, who is no longer UFC lightweight champion after missing weight on Friday, will meet Justin Gaethje in a 155-pound main event (only “Highlight” is eligible to win the belt). In co-main event action, Rose Namajunas will put her UFC women’s strawweight title on the line in a rematch against former champion Carla Esparza.
But before the two anticipated title fights get underway later tonight at UFC 274 a collection of exciting matchups will play out live in front of a sold-out Phoenix crowd. This includes a lightweight dream matchup between Michael Chandler and Tony Ferguson, a lightweight clash featuring veterans Donald Cerrone and Joe Lauzon, and an exciting welterweight bout pitting Randy Brown against knockout artist Khaos Williams.
We will compile the best of the best below — with all video footage courtesy of UFC and ESPN — and will continue to share the action as it rolls in. Enjoy!
