How to Watch UFC 274

Charles Oliveira will defend the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight throne against Justin Gaethje in the hotly anticipated UFC 274 headliner on Saturday at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. Meanwhile, Rose Namajunas puts her women’s strawweight crown on the line in a co-main event rematch opposite Carla Esparza—still the only opponent to submit her.

UFC 274 “Oliveira vs. Gaethje”—which airs live on ESPN+ pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT—also features a light heavyweight rematch pitting Ovince St. Preux against Mauricio Rua and a pair of lightweight battles, as Michael Chandler confronts Tony Ferguson and Donald Cerrone meets Joe Lauzon. ESPN (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT) and UFC Fight Pass (5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT) are scheduled to share coverage of the undercard, a welterweight affair between Randy Brown and Kalinn Williams anchoring the 10-fight preliminary slate.
