Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev headline an absolutely jam-packed card of action at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi for UFC 280 tonight.
Unlike nearly all other pay-per-view events that the promotion run, this one takes place at local time outside of the US, meaning that fans in the UK can watch at essentially prime time. From the mid-afternoon fights are underway, with particular British interest in the undefeated super-prospect Muhammad Mokaev.
Every one of the main card fights could headline its own event, with the 135lb division taking centre stage in the co-main between Aljamain Sterling and TJ Dillashaw just after Petr Yan vs Sean O'Malley. The young O'Malley will show his world level credentials in this event, while Yan is hoping to get a trilogy bout with Sterling or a shot at the legendary Dillashaw.
