PHOENIX – The UFC 274 headliner has the potential to be an all-time affair, and all signs point to Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje being more than willing to do their part to make that happen.
Oliveira (32-8 MMA, 20-8 UFC) and Gaethje (23-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) are determined to prove themselves as the top lightweight in the game right now then they meet in a pairing between two of the most action-heavy athletes in the entire sport.
Only one man can leave with gold, though, because Oliveira forfeited the title by missing weight on Friday morning. The title will be vacant with a win for the Brazilian, while Gaethje will be undisputed champ if he gets the job done.
To the surprise of no one, Olivera and Gaethje were beaming with intensity as they got a final chance to size each other up before stepping in the octagon.
