The UFC put on arguably its biggest event of the year Saturday with UFC 274 at Footprint Center in Phoenix, and despite only four of 14 fights ending in a stoppage, it was a memorable event for better or worse. Charles Oliveira (33-8 MMA, 21-8 UFC) submitted Justin Gaethje (23-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) with a rear-naked choke in the first round of an all-action main event, forcing the UFC lightweight title to become vacant after he missed weight . The co-headliner, meanwhile, saw Carla Esparza (19-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) stun Rose Namajunas (11-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) by split decision to reclaim the UFC strawweight title she lost back in March 2015
