UFC 280 is here.
The promotion returns to Abu Dhabi and will feature two title fights in the main and co-main events.
First up, in the co-main event, bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling will defend his belt for the second time against top contender TJ Dillashaw. Elsewhere, on the undercard, the winner between Petr Yan vs Sean O’Malley will earn a title shot against the winner of the co-feature.
In the main fight of the night, former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira seeks redemption and targets becoming a two-time champion. He lost the strap in his last fight after missing weight.
Islam Makhachev will contest for the vacant lightweight title. He is one of the promotion’s fast rising contenders and is under the wing of UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov.
