Tracy Cortez and her UFC 274 opponent Melissa Gatto are undefeated inside the octagon, but Gatto, whose MMA record registers no losses in 10 professional appearances, is out to prove she’s the future of the flyweight division.

Hello MMAF'ers

May 7th is finally here. Bleach blonde chucky was primed to have a title defense for the ages. His opponent has been described as a brawler whom creates "car crashes" in the pocket. Everything was going good in the lead up...until a scale fiasco upended EVERYTHING!! I mean , we have seen last minute pull outs, cord trips, tiramisu mishaps, covid,irish men throwing dollys..... but this seems far worse then any of the mentioned transgressions. So much uncertainty.

As Joe Lauzon prepares to make the walk for his 28th UFC fight on Saturday, he’s seen plenty of changes with the promotion over the years but particularly since the new owners at Endeavor have taken over.

Jon Anik believes Tony Ferguson still has plenty of gas left in the tank ahead of Saturday’s UFC pay-per-view event.

In the final episode of UFC 274 Embedded, Justin Gaethje cuts weight, Carla Esparza gets flowers, Charles Oliveira misses weight, and see the fighters square off for the final time at ceremonial weigh-ins.

Justin Gaethje understands that criticism is just part of his job but he’s not interested in hearing it from fighters incapable of achieving the same level of success that he’s found in the sport.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Will Charles Oliveira be able to recover from his disastrous weight miss or will Justin Gaethje leave UFC 274 with lightweight gold? And which fighter between Tony Ferguson and Michael Chandler will put a stop to their losing streak?

Charles Oliveira is no longer the UFC lightweight champion, but vows to be as confident as ever going into his UFC 274 main event bout with Justin Gaethje. The UFC announced that the 155-pound title will be vacant as soon as Oliveira enters the octagon Saturday night, and only Gaethje can claim it with a victory since “do Bronx” missed weight by 0.5 pounds on Friday morning.

Set Number: X163858 TK2

Well, this is awkward.

Charles Oliveira had finally figured it out. Or so we thought. After joining the UFC as a talented upstart in his early 20s and messing around at featherweight, “do Bronx” was staring at a barely above-.500 record. But he bit the bullet and committed to lightweight where he eventually rattled off 10 straight wins and established himself as the best lightweight in the world (at least according to the MMA Fighting Global Rankings).

Jon Jones has already been out of action for over two years so he’s willing to be patient to make sure his return will come against the best possible opponent for his heavyweight debut.

Charles Oliveira’s weight miss led to him being stripped of the lightweight title before facing Justin Gaethje. Will Friday’s drama have a significant impact on the result of the UFC 264 main event?

Tony Ferguson faked an ankle pick on Michael Chandler at the UFC 274 pre-fight press conference and it appeared he was about to make another move at the ceremonial weigh-ins on Friday except the former Bellator lightweight champion didn’t budge.

Justin Gaethje isn’t changing his demeanor towards the objected at UFC 274 even if he’s understandably angry after now former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira missed weight earlier in the day.

On the fifth episode of UFC 274 Embedded, Carla Esparza’s team talks about the enormous respect they have for her, Rose Namajunas and Justin Gaethje work side-by-side ahead of their championship bouts, the stars of Saturday’s card address the fans at Thursday’s press conference and stare each other down, and much more.

Justin Gaethje successfully made weight for Saturday’s championship main event and he doesn’t see why anyone else is complaining.
