2022 UFC event schedule: Charles Oliveira vs. Justin Gaethje, Rob Font vs. Marlon Vera on tap

UFC continues to deliver on its promise of action fights. The promotion has rolled through the early part of 2022 with four PPVs already in the books. Interestingly, only one title has changed hands in that time with Deiveson Figueiredo topping Brandon Moreno in their trilogy to regain the championship.

Now, UFC rolls through the rest of spring with a loaded-up schedule of events and a couple of PPV main events already on the books for May and June. UFC 274 in May will see a pair of titles on the line when lightweight champion Charles Oliveira looks to defend his crown against fan-favorite Justin Gaethje. Plus, women’s strawweight champion Rose Namajunas runs back a rematch eight years in the making when she takes on former champion Carla Esparza. Esparza beat Namajunas for the inaugural title in 2014.

But before we get to May, there is still one more card on tap in April. Ranked bantamweights Rob Font and Marlon Vera are on a quest to re-submit themselves among the bantamweight elite. Font had a four-fight winning streak, including wins over former UFC champion Cody Garbrandt and Marlon Moraes, snapped by the legendary Jose Aldo in December. Vera, whose last loss also came to Aldo, has momentum behind him following consecutive wins over Frankie Edgar and Davey Grant. Font presents a well-rounded striking game at range; meanwhile, “Chito” has vicious power on the feet and wicked submissions on the ground. Font vs. Vera headlines the UFC Fight Night event in Las Vegas on April 30.
