UFC 274 went down on Saturday night at the Footprint Arena in Phoenix, Arizona. In the main event, Charles Oliveira defeated Justin Gaethje by submission in the first round, in an absolute barnburner. The Brazilian left the Octagon without the belt wrapped around his waist however after he missed weight, but he will fight for the vacant title next.
In the co-main event, Carla Esparza beat Rose Namajunas for a second time by scoring a split decision victory in a lacklustre fight in which both fighters landed a combined total of 68 significant strikes. Elsewhere on the UFC 274 main card, Michael Chandler returned to winning ways with a spectacular front kick knockout win over Tony Ferguson, Ovince Saint Preux defeated Mauricia Rua by split decision and Randy Brown improved to three wins in a row by beating Khaos Williams by split decision.
