UFC 274 takes place this weekend and looks set to be one of the most important cards of the year, with two titles on the line and a highly-anticipated clash between lightweight contenders.

In the main event in Phoenix, Arizona, Charles Oliveira defends the belt in that very division as he takes on former interim champion Justin Gaethje.

In the co-main event, Rose Namajunas continues her second stint as strawweight champion as she faces old foe Carla Esparza. Esparza was the first UFC strawweight champion and holds a victory over Namajunas, which the reigning title holder will look to avenge here.

Before those bouts take place, Michael Chandler and fellow lightweight Tony Ferguson go head to head in a meeting between fan favourites who are looking to close ground to the title picture.
