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.

The beginning of May saw some upheaval in the women’s stawweight and lightweight divisions. Carla Esparza upset Rose Namajunas to regain the title after nearly eight years away from it. Plus, after losing the title on the scale on Friday, Charles Oliveira made up for it and then some with his win over Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 274. By rule, he’s now the No. 1 contender for the title instead of the champion.

The next PPV event heads to Singapore where the light heavyweight and women’s flyweight titles will be on the line on June 11. Glover Teixeira will put his 205-pound title on the line against top challenger Jiri Prochazka while 125-pound queen Valentina Shevchenko takes on her latest challenger in Talia Santos.

The promotion has the week off with the Memorial Day holiday but comes right back on June 4 with a heavyweight showdown. Veterans Alexander Volkov and Jairzinho Rozenstruik are set to throw down in Las Vegas with plenty at stake in the currently upside down division.
