Charles Oliveira will defend his UFC lightweight championship against Justin Gaethje at UFC 274 on May 7 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
After making his MMA debut in 2008, Oliveira joined the UFC in 2010. He has a ten-fight winning streak in the UFC and is 20-8 with one no-contest. Oliveira won the UFC lightweight title by defeating Michael Chandler at UFC 262 and defended it against Dustin Poirier in December.
In 2011, Gaethje made his MMA debut. With the exception of one, all of his UFC victories have been by knockout. “The Highlight” had a bloody fight with Chandler at UFC 268 in November, which he won by unanimous decision.
The duo will go up against each other where Justin looks to hold the title for the first time and while Charles wants to retain the UFC Gold. Oliveira and Gaethje are looking to earn a big paycheck on Saturday night. Here’s how much the two fighters are set to earn at UFC 274.
