UFC 274 card: Oliveira vs Gaethje and all fights this weekend

Charles Oliveira defends his lightweight title in the main event of UFC 274 this Saturday, facing Justin Gaethje as the pair headline a stacked card in Phoenix, Arizona.

In the co-main event, Rose Namajunas will attempt to avenge a loss to Carla Esparza and retain the strawweight title in doing so.

Both Oliveira and Namajunas’ challengers have real pedigree in their respective divisions, with Gaethje having previously held the interim lightweight title and Esparza having been the first ever strawweight champion in the UFC.

Before those bouts take place, Michael Chandler and Tony Ferguson go head to head in a meeting between fan favourites who are looking to close ground to the lightweight title picture.
