Charles Oliveira vs Justin Gaethje For The Lightweight Title Is On For May 7th
BOOOOOM! What a main event for Cinco de Mayo weekend ladies and gentlemen!
Charles Oliveira will take on Justin Gaethje in his second title defense - GUARANTEED to be a banger - and Glover Teixeira will also make his first Light Heavyweight title defensein the co-main event, against the monster that is Jiri Prochazka....
Just these two fights are an absolutely amazing start to this card, and I'm sure all the Conor McGregor haters in the world took a big sigh of relief when they realized Oliveira wasn't gonna wait around for him to come back, and instead give Gaethje the title shot he deserves....
It does make me wonder who Conor will face in his return this Summer though, because I don't think you can count on the winner of this fight to make that quick turnaround for him in July/August. Maybe he's got Michael Chandler in the comeback? Possibly Nate Diaz? Maybe a fourth and final fight with Dustin Poirier? Who the hell knows.
I'm just excited to see these savages duke it out in the octagon on May 7th. I got a feeling we're gonna see a pair of explosive finishes in these fights.
