UFC 274 Full Fight Card Winner And Results
The main event was supposed to be Oliveira’s second defence of his lightweight title, but things went wrong on Friday when he failed to meet the 155-pound lightweight limit after two attempts, coming in 0.5 pounds over the limit.
As a result, Oliveira vacated his title prior to his battle with Gaethje. Despite his victory on Saturday, Oliveira will not reclaim the lightweight title; instead, he will become the No. 1 contender for the vacant belt and face an opponent yet to be named.
Following a split decision victory over Rose Namajunas in their rematch in the UFC 274 co-main event, Carla Esparza will be married next Saturday without a scar on her face and as a two-time strawweight champion.
Esparza’s wrestling and several takedowns proved to be enough to sway the judges and clinch the win in a weird 25-minute match with barely no effort between the participants. Esparza won the fight with scores of 49-46 and 48-47, with Namajunas receiving the third scorecard of 48-47, but it wasn’t enough to keep her title.
