ABU DHABI – The stage is set for one of the most anticipated title fights of the year after Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev engaged in a final faceoff for the UFC 280 main event. After Oliveira (33-8 MMA, 21-8 UFC) and Makhachev (22-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) successfully made weight Friday, the pair attended ceremonial weigh-ins, where they had one final staredown for their vacant lightweight title fight. Both men were intense, but kept things professional as they get ready to determine a new champion at 155 pounds in the headlining act at Etihad Arena on Yas Island.
