UFC 274 pre-event facts: Inside the numbers of an historic main card

The UFC kicks off its May schedule with a massive event on Saturday. UFC 274 takes place at Footprint Center in Phoenix, with the main card set to air on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.

Two compelling championship fights top the card. In the main event, Charles Oliveira (32-8 MMA, 20-8 UFC) puts his lightweight title on the line against former interim champion Justin Gaethje (23-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC).

The co-headliner, meanwhile, sees strawweight champion Rose Namajunas (11-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) look to avenge a December 2014 loss to Carla Esparza (18-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC), who will look to put on a repeat performance and reclaim the gold.

Those two bouts are just a slice of the five-fight main card lineup, which features 10 fighters with a combined 195 fights under the UFC banner. That group has earned 122 victories, secured 90 wins by stoppage, and accumulated 99 total fight-night bonuses.
