Charles Oliveira - Justin Gaethje (c) UFC

In Phoenix, Arizona, in the main event of the UFC 274 tournament at the Footprint Arena, the lightweight Brazilian Charles Oliveira (33-8, 21-8 UFC) won by choke submission in the first round at 3:22 over Justin Gaethje (23-4, 6-4 UFC). Oliveira lost the championship before the fight at the weigh-in and only Gaethje had the opportunity to win the belt. Thus, the lightweight title remained vacant, but Oliveira apparently booked his place in the fight for the belt with a victory.

“This is a message to the entire division,” Oliveira said after the fight. - I'm a problem for the whole division... I'm a champion. This is my title. I should have him."
