Charles “do Bronx” Oliveira puts his UFC lightweight title on the line when he meets the always entertaining and heavy-handed Justin Gaethje
Oliveira brings a 32-8 record into the fight with an impressive 10-fight win streak after early struggles in his UFC career. Oliveira captured the title with a win over Michael Chandler and left no doubts about his place at the top of the division, with a third-round submission over Dustin Poirier in his first title defence.
Gaethje has lost once in his last 6 bouts, with that coming to the retired Khabib Nurmagomedov. In his last outing, he won an entertaining decision against Michae Chandler to earn a second shot at the title.
Also on the card, Rose Namajunas returns to defend her UFC strawweight title against Carla Esparza while a lightweight blockbuster between Michael Chandler and Tony Ferguson is certain to bring fireworks.
