UFC 274 UK start time, TV channel and live stream for Charles Oliveira vs Justin Gaethje

The UFC returns to our screens this weekend with the fourth pay-per-view event of the year. However, it will once again be shown for free to UK viewers who have a BT subscription. UFC 274 will see another stacked card including two title defences, with some of the most explosive and exciting fighters of the roster in action.

The main event will see the two top fighters in the stacked lightweight division go head-to-head with Charles Oliveira defending his title against the explosive striking of Justin Gaethje. Pimblett's favourite fighter, Gaethje defeated Michael Chandler in his last fight out, and had been on a four-match winning streak before he came up against of the greatest of all-time in Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2020.

That fight between Gaethje and Chandler won last year's fight of the year award - with the two going back and forth in three exciting rounds as both fighters stood in the pocket and traded.

And Chandler himself will also fight on the night, coming up against the legendary Tony Ferguson. The unorthodox Ferguson will look to avenge a few recent losses to put himself put in the title picture, but will be up against one of the top fighters in the division in Chandler.

A second title defence on the night will see Rose Namajunas, aka Thug Rose, defend her strawweight belt against Carla Esparza. And finally, one of the industry's most beloved fighters, Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone, is set to be in action.
