ABU DHABI: The UFC is set to bring its world-famous octagon to Abu Dhabi next month with two belts on the line and a stacked card that is now being touted as one of the year’s biggest events.

The UFC 280 headline fight sees Charles Oliveira take on Islam Makhachev for the vacant lightweight title, with the Brazilian looking to reclaim the belt at the Etihad Arena on Oct.

22. Oliveira (33 wins, 8 losses, and 1 no contest) comes to Abu Dhabi on the back of an 11-fight win streak, and only lost the title when he missed weight ahead of his last fight against Justin Gaethje.

A win that night ensured the title would remain vacant, as the Brazilian extended the UFC record for most finishes (19) and submissions (16).
