5 under the radar fights at UFC 274

#2. Danny Roberts vs. Francisco Trinaldo

UFC Fight Night: Pearson v Trinaldo (right)

At 43 years of age, Francisco Trinaldo is still a threat to those in the UFC's welterweight division and is one of the most exciting fighters on the roster. Paul Felder, Bobby Green and Jim Miller are all valuable names that Trinaldo owns victories over. While he's already got an impressive career to look back on, he continues to march forward and compete.

Looking to utilize this relatively high-profile fight is Liverpool's Danny Roberts. 13 of his 18 wins have come by way of stoppage. 'Hot Chocolate' is often eager to show off his boxing chops, and his Brazilian adversary may be more than happy to oblige in that style of fighting.

This bout has all the ingredients to make for a three-round slugfest. Both have excellent striking abilities but are very well-rounded to boot. With the potential to go in any direction, this is certainly a fight for fans to keep their eyes on come UFC 274.

#1. Kalinn Williams vs. Randy Brown

UFC Fight Night: Kalinn 'Khaos' Williams

A combined 13 knockouts between Williams and Brown should have MMA fans on the edge of their seats to see this one. While more dedicated fans were ecstatic when this fight was announced, casual fans will be excited as the action ensues during this preliminary bout.

'Khaos' Williams is one of the scariest strikers on the roster. Knocking out Abdul Alhassan and Alex Moreno in a combined 57-seconds brought the 28-year-old to a more notable opponent in Michel Pereira. Though he fell short in this bout, he's now on a two-fight win streak and is looking to use Brown as a stepping stone towards reaching higher ranked opponents.

However, this is easier said than done. 'Rude Boy' is looking to extend his own two-fight win streak following a 2020 setback at the hands of Vicente Luque. The 31-year-old is hoping that he can amplify his name by defeating one of the most feared strikers in the promotion. Both fighters are hungry prospects who are looking to make their way into the welterweight rankings, and a desire like this often results in fantastic fights.
