The UFC 274 pre-fight press conference took place earlier tonight, and we’ve got the highlights for you right here!
UFC 274 takes place Saturday, May 7, 2022, from the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The main event will feature Charles Oliveira defending his lightweight championship against Justin Gaethje.
The co-main event will spotlight a strawweight rematch between champion “Thug” Rose Namajunas and Carla Esparza over seven years in the making.
And of course, who can forget an El Cucuy sighting? Tony Ferguson will try to snap his three-fight skid when he takes on “Iron” Michael Chandler prior to the two title fights. Buckle up, because this is one fight that could very easily steal the show.
Also on the card will be two pairs of legends squaring off when Donald Cerrone takes on Joe Lauzon to kick off the main card followed by a rematch between Ovince Saint Preux and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. You never know how many more times you’ll get to see these legends compete, which makes both contests a must-see.
Below, you can find some of the most memorable moments from tonight’s UFC 274 pre-fight press conference.
