Islam Makhachev vs Charles Oliveira

UFC 280 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi will feature one of the deepest cards of 2022, headlined by a lightweight title fight between two of the sport's biggest ...

Just one fight previously, he took former title contender Dan Hooker to the ground and eventually sunk in a kimura choke to finish him early. “My focus is not the same focus as the UFC,” Dariush said in a press conference this week. “You’re praising the guy who got caught and saying that he did it the right way and did it like a man. The man is deadly in so many different ways, whether on the ground or standup and there’s no reason to think he’s even at his peak yet. The other good news is O’Malley is also more of a striker than a grappler. But I think he made a mistake, and he handled it like a man. Sterling, however, did not care about the bookmakers and used his superior wrestling skills to take down to the mat and keep him there for heavy ground-and-pound. It secured the victory, his second in a row. The referee stepped in to end it at the 4:47 mark for a standing TKO. After a standup war earlier in the bout, Krylov decided to take the fight to the ground in the third round for heavy ground-and-pound. Oliveira, the former division champion, was stripped of his title in May after failing to make weight before a bout with Justin Gaethje.
