On May 7th, Justin Gaethje gets another crack at the lightweight title at UFC 274. Gaethje will take on champ Charles Oliveira, who is coming off a thrilling title defense victory over Dustin Poirier in December. That bout will serve as the main event for the night after some recent changes to the card.

The new co-main event was just announced, and it will see Rosa Namajunas defending her women’s strawweight title against former champ Carla Esparza in a rematch of their 2014 TUF finale fight, where Esparza was crowned the inaugural division champ.
