UFC 274 takes place Saturday night in Phoenix, and we're already dealing with a bit of drama. Lightweight champion Charles Oliveira is no longer the ...

After dropping her first career bout, she's won 10 straight. Cortez picked up a nice unanimous decision win over Melissa Gatto (29-28x3), largely thanks to her superior ground game. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace has 15 submission victories, the most in UFC history. He's now won six of his last eight fights. •3h ago "(But) I want to do both 135 and 145." The man looks and fights like he's easily in his 30s and showed it Saturday night. I feel bad for Tony Ferguson, one of my all-time favorite fighters but he's shown in his last couple fights he's a shell of what he once was. Rose lost the first matchup and Carla took her down at will. "Khaos is a dangerous boy, man," he said after the fight. We're not seeing a ton of action and fans are letting them hear it.

UFC 274 Live Blog: Gaethje Going for Lightweight Belt Atop ... (Sports Illustrated)

Lightweight champion Charles Oliveira was set to defend the belt against top-ranked contender Justin Gaethje, but he failed to make weight. That has led to the ...

A win for Ferguson keeps him in the top-10 rankings and allows him to maintain relevance in the division, but a loss will be devastating. The victory increases Brown’s win streak to three, and he now looks for a fight against a ranked opponent. Even with the setbacks, 274 is still a loaded card. Rua (27–13–1) is approaching the end of his legendary career. The pace and energy was far different in the rematch, with both men—Rua, who is now 40, and Saint Preux, who is 39—considerably more cautious. Chandler (23–7) generated so much power for that boot to the face, almost like he was kicking a field goal.

UFC 274 results, highlights: Charles Oliveira submits Justin Gaethje ... (CBSSports.com)

The former champion delivered an emphatic message in his wild first-round win over Gaethje in Phoenix.

A right hand landed for Namajunas. Esparza with a little German suplex. Rose Namajunas via split decision (48-47, 47-48, 49-46) to become the new UFC women's strawweight champion in what ranks high on the list of worst fights in UFC history. Esparza sort of landed a right hand off a short clinch break. A solid left hook by Esparza. A front kick to the chest by Namajunas. A solid right hand by Rose. Another right hand landed for Namajunas. Yet another long right-hand scores for Namajunas. "Thug Rose" gets a little takedown to end the fight. Esparza clocked "Thug Rose" with a left. September October? Just give me a day and location! The only small blemish -- if you can call it that -- is a clear unanimous decision win over Tony Ferguson in December 2020. Oliveira, who was the defending UFC lightweight champion at the start of the week, was stripped of his belt after missing weight by half a pound. I am problem for the entire division. Oliveira defeated Justin Gaethje in a violent sugar rush at UFC 274 on Saturday night. Gaethje dropped Oliveira on two occasions in the opening round: first with a right uppercut and then with a left hook. "Do Bronx" extended his winning streak to 11 with consecutive finishes of Gaethje, Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler, plus a win over Tony Ferguson.

UFC 274 -- Conor McGregor among stars reacting to thrilling main ... (ESPN)

UFC 274's main card action headlined by Michael Chandler's knockout of Tony Ferguson has many stars flocking to social media with their reactions.

Congrats on a solid win Michael and another barnstormer.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 8, 2022 I'd have a nice knock off this guy, no doubt about it. But before Gaethje and Oliveira's fight, Chandler's bout against Ferguson was a thrilling affair. Gaethje entered UFC 274 having won five of his prior six matches. Although he didn't get the opportunity to properly defend his championship, Oliveira entered Saturday with momentum. Charles Oliveira faced Justin Gaethje in the main event title fight, but only the latter had a shot at claiming the belt.

Check out who earned a bonus for their performance at UFC 274 at Footprint Center in Phoenix.

Chandler keeps his bonus streak going, as he has earned a bonus in each of his four UFC appearances. Ferguson needed a few minutes to come to after being knocked out cold from the clean kick up the middle. Chandler took home a no-brainer Performance of the Night for his spectacular finish. However, Royval still had his wits about him and was able to grab a hold of Schnell and began to look for submissions. A preliminary bout between flyweights Brandon Royval and Matt Schnell delivered an intense back-and-forth round of action. His opponent Cameron VanCamp landed some clean strikes early, but Fialho stayed in the pocket and fired back, resulting in a fantastic opening-frame finish.
