A tantalizing welterweight match-up has been announced for May’s UFC 274.
Multiple sources have confirmed to Cageside Press that Khaos Williams and Randy Brown are set for the event, which will take place on May 7, 2022 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ. During Saturday night’s UFC 272 broadcast, the promotion announced the match-up, one of several fights confirmed for the event.
UFC 274 is set to be headlined by a lightweight title fight featuring champ Charles Oliveira defending his belt against former interim champ Justin Gaethje.
