The UFC lightweight title is on the line this May, and it’s the fight that everyone is eager to see.
Dana White told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that champion Charles Oliveira and former interim champ Justin Gaethje will fight at UFC 274 on May 7th.
Oliveira (32-8, 1 NC) has won ten straight, recording finishes against everyone except Tony Ferguson along the way. After Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement, Oliveira and former Bellator champion Michael Chandler competed for the vacant belt at UFC 262 in Houston. Oliveira rallied from nearly getting stopped in the opening round to dramatically KO Chandler and win UFC gold in his very first title shot.
