After a stirring 2021 campaign in which he won and defended the UFC lightweight title by finishing Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier, Charles Oliveira begins his second year as champion on May 7 as he defends his crown against former interim titlist Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC 274. Living up to his nickname "The Highlight" every time he steps into the Octagon, Gaethje will attempt to follow up his Fight of the Year win over Michael Chandler by taking Oliveira's title in a bout that is expected to set the bar high as 2022's best.

Lying there paralyzed, trapped within his own nightmare, other-worldly beings visit John. They are entities which exist in the darkest shadows of the night and can only be seen out of the corner of one's eye. These encounters begin to haunt John, transforming to complete terror as he discovers the entities' sole purpose... the abduction of his seven year old son. In the end, John will uncover the town's horrific secret, a portal on his land, and make one last attempt to save his son before the shadow people permanently take him away to their world.
