Today will determine the best fighter in the world.
Charles Olivieira steps into the cage with Islam Makhachev in the main event of UFC 280 to decide the new lightweight champion.
With all due respect to Alexander Volkanovski, the winner of this bout will be the pound-for-pound best in the world. It is an incredibly hard fight to speculate, as Makhachev has manhandled opponents in a way that is foolish to imagine happening against Oliveira. The strongest indication of how this may unfold is the tale of the tape. Looking back at Oliveira’s most recent wins against Justin Gaethje, Dustin Porier, and Michael Chandler, he withstands their power before unleashing a vicious jiu jitsu attack.
