ISLAM MAKHACHEV

UFC 280

Islam Makhachev dominated on the feet against Charles "Do Bronx" Oliveira, utilizing his strength to control positioning in grappling exchanges, and steering clear of the submission threat Oliveira presents. With about two minutes left in the second round, Makhachev knocked down the former champ with a counter right hook and jumped onto an arm triangle as soon as Oliveira hit the canvas, capturing the lightweight title at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi.
