UFC 274 has almost arrived and there are many fun fights to watch. Two title fights, the return of Tony Ferguson and strawweight GOAT implications; it's not hard to get lost in the marquee names on this card.

However, it's not just the crescendo of the card that's worth watching. The second that Bruce Buffer gets to work, action is expected. There are a lot of great fights lined up on the UFC 274 card, but many are going without recognition given the height of the event.

Former champions and rising contenders alike will preface what's expected to be a historic night for MMA. While this event in its entirety is certain to deliver, some of the more overlooked fights are worth noting.

Here are five under the radar fights at UFC 274.

This is a quick turnaround for Andre Fialho. The 28-year-old was last seen less than a month ago when he took on Miguel Baeza. This fight was very exciting for as long as it lasted, but it only took one round for Fialho to score his 12th knockout victory.

Though this will be his third fight in the organization, his counterpart will be even more green as he's making his promotional debut. Cameron VanCamp enters the UFC being 4-1 in his last 5 and has finished his last three fights by way of submission.

Both fighters are on the better side of thirty and have finished 87% of their victories. UFC 274 has a lot of finishers on the card, but this bout is one that surely won't go the distance. While it's highly unlikely that this match will realize all three rounds, the excitement should be there in spades for however long this battle takes place.
