ABU DHABI – The UFC makes its annual stop in Abu Dhabi on Saturday for UFC 280, perhaps the biggest event of the year on paper.
There’s buzz behind the card, which will see a pair of championship fights unfold, as well as other key matchups at Etihad Arena. The main card streams on ESPN+ pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and ESPN+.
In the main event, Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev will meet for the vacant lightweight title, while bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling puts his belt on the line against T.J. Dillashaw in the co-headliner. Additionally, Sean O'Malley looks to make a statement in the biggest fight of his career against former bantamweight champ Petr Yan.
MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn and Farah Hannoun have been “On the Ground” all week for the event, and they caught up with some key players while exploring the city ahead of fight night. Check out the video above.
