UFC 274 is going to be held on Saturday, May 7, where Charles Oliveira will face Justin Gaethje UFC lightweight title. Here, you will know the preview, time, date, how to watch, fight cards, odds, and prediction of the Oliveira vs. Justin match.
UFC 274 Preview:
Oliveira has become probably the best lightweight champion in UFC history. A win against Gaethje would eclipse Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement in 2020 after beating the same opponent in Gaethje. Oliveira has won 10 straight games to reach here. Gaethje, meanwhile, avenged his loss to Nurmagomedov by defeating Michael Chandler.
Namajunas versus Esparza is an improbable rematch if only for the fact that it has taken more than seven years for it to take place. The outcome of Michael Chandler vs. Tony Ferguson will have a significant impact on the lightweight division’s momentum.

Oliveira vs. Justin Odds:
Here are the odds of UFC 274:
- Charles Oliveira: -165
- Justin Gaethje: +145
Oliveira is the favorite in this fight according to the odds. He has an odd of -165, which means if you bet $165, you will win $100. On the other hand, you will need to bet $100 to win $145 for Gaethje
UFC 274 Prediction:
When Khabib Nurmagomedov retired, I predicted Oliveira to win the lightweight title versus Dustin Poirier. Then came Friday and Oliveira’s calamity. He didn’t just miss weight the first time, he didn’t shed a pound in an hour. That means something is wrong. Gaethje is a guy to be faced at your best, and Oliveira’s red lights are flying now. No matter what happens on Saturday night, Gaethje will be the new UFC lightweight champion, and Oliveira will have to try to reclaim his title.
Prediction: Justin Gaethje will win the fight.
