Against Michael Chandler they did look fantastic. Against Tony Ferguson, the boxing was just beautiful. It was a thing of beauty.

Justin Gaethje is the underdog heading into his fight against Charles Oliveira

Gaethje is the bookmakers' underdog heading into his clash against Charles Oliveira at UFC 274. The lightweight title fight is set to headline the pay-per-view card at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona next month.

This will be Gaethje's second crack at the undisputed UFC lightweight title. He was submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov in his first title fight at UFC 254 in 2020. A win against Chandler last November has earned him another shot at the belt. 'The Highlight' has previously held the UFC interim lightweight title with his win over Ferguson at UFC 249.

The co-main event of the pay-per-view will have Rose Namajunas put her women's strawweight title on the line against former champion Carla Esparza in a rematch. 'Cookie Monster' has a submission win over 'Thug Rose' in their 2014 fight.

Top lightweight contenders Michael Chandler and Tony Ferguson will also engage in a much-anticipated clash.
