The most-awaited lightweight fight is finally here as people’s champ, Charles Oliveira fights the unstoppable Islam Makhachev in a main event title fight. The lightweight title is up for grabs and both the contenders are more hungry than ever. This fight is claimed by many to be the regen matchup of Prime Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Prime Tony Ferguson that we never got to see.

The pay-per-view event is set to take place at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on October 22 of this year. Charles will be entering the belly of the beast in this fight as he aims to officially reclaim the lightweight throne in front of a crowd that will predominantly be rooting for the Dagestani lightweight, Islam Makhachev.

This electrifying card also features another title fight between Aljamain Sterling and TJ Dillashaw for the bantamweight title. The fun does not end here, the promotion is also stacking this card with a superstar matchup between Sean O’Malley and Petr Yan. We also have Beneil Dariush taking on Mateusz Gamrot in a potential contender fight. Belal Muhammad and Sean Brady also square off for a welterweight battle. All these fights could be main events on their own.
