Fights on Tap is a weekly roundup of all the fights booked in the UFC, Bellator and other promotions.
The UFC took a break this weekend, but it was still busy getting ready for its upcoming eight-week stretch of events. This week, the promotion either announced or finalized 24 fights, and the lightweight champion has his second defense set.
Justin Gaethje said he would ‘riot’ and ‘go to war’ if he did not receive a shot against Charles Oliveira after his win over Michael Chandler at UFC 268 this past November. Fortunately, the ‘Highlight’ does not have to follow through on those threats because he will indeed be fighting ‘Do Bronx’ next at UFC 274, the pay-per-view event scheduled for May 7.
