UFC 274 post-event facts: Charles Oliveira adds to record finish count, other records set

The UFC put on arguably its biggest event of the year Saturday with UFC 274 at Footprint Center in Phoenix, and despite only four of 14 fights ending in a stoppage, it was a memorable event for better or worse.

Charles Oliveira (33-8 MMA, 21-8 UFC) submitted Justin Gaethje (23-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) with a rear-naked choke in the first round of an all-action main event, forcing the UFC lightweight title to become vacant after he missed weight. The co-headliner, meanwhile, saw Carla Esparza (19-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) stun Rose Namajunas (11-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) by split decision to reclaim the UFC strawweight title she lost back in March 2015.
