PHOENIX – The UFC makes its return to Arizona on Saturday for UFC 274, and the excitement around the loaded event is palpable.
There’s a genuine buzz behind the card, which is headlined by some of the most credentialed fighters in octagon history at Footprint Center. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
The headliner will see Charles Oliveira (32-8 MMA, 20-8 UFC) fight Justin Gaethje (23-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in what was supposed to be a undisputed lightweight title fight before Oliveira missed weight on Friday. Now only Gaethje is eligible for the belt.
