Islam Makhachev or Charles Oliveira - Take a look at UFC 280 betting odds

UFC 280 is less than a day away. The most awaited card of the year promises to deliver with two title fights and a stacked undercard. Ahead of this highly awaited card, fans are looking to get their bets in and make a tidy profit on their favorite fighters.

The main event of UFC 280 features a fight for the vacant lightweight title between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.

Islam Makhachev is the current -180 betting favorite and Charles Oliveira is the +150 underdog. Oddsmakers did not choose ‘Do Bronx’ as the favorite in his fights against Dustin Poirier and Tony Ferguson, and he was a narrow favorite against Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler. Despite being on a 11-fight win streak and having the most submissions in the UFC, he is not the betting favorite.

Islam Makhachev, on the other hand, is on a 10-fight winning streak, and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s protege has been the favorite in most of his recent fights. He is as well as his upcoming title fight at UFC 280 against ‘Do Bronx’. The Brazilian has proven the oddsmakers wrong multiple times, and will look to do it again on October 22 so he can reclaim his lightweight title.

Charles Oliveira lost his title in his previous match where he weighed in at half a pound overweight and lost his title on the scale. This time around, he weighed in at 154.5lbs, which is .5 lbs less than the lightweight limit. Makhachev also weighed in at 154.5. According to Oliveira, he will knock the Russian out in the very first round against a hostile crowd in Abu Dhabi.

‘Do Bronx’ got booed during weigh-ins and open workouts, so it is clear to see who the fans in Abu Dhabi seem to support.
