Two title fights are featured in UFC 280: bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling takes on TJ Dillashaw, while former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira faces Islam Makhachev. Additionally, Sean O’Malley and Petr Yan square off in a bantamweight fight.

The UFC 280 main event is anticipated to feature a fight for the vacant UFC Lightweight Championship between former champion Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev. Last time out, when Oliveira missed weight for his title defense against Justin Gaethje, the previous interim champion and current WSOF Lightweight Champion, at UFC 274, he was stripped of the championship. Meanwhile, Beneil Dariush indicated in mid-September that he was anticipated to act as backup to this fight, which is planned to feature former KSW Featherweight and Lightweight Champion Mateusz Gamrot. In response, Alexander Volkanovski, the current UFC Featherweight Champion, declared in mid-October that he would serve as the official backup in the event that one of the main fighters withdrew. Dariush continues to assert that he is the backup, but the team has made no official confirmation.
