These two world-class fighters will fight for the lightweight title at UFC 280

[{"selector":"#anim-57024c70-7be1-4818-8897-0bacf07059b6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(21.874999829338595%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54a5b7a0-1292-4cb4-8e7a-6469d49330fc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-30f9c4d5-8899-42fa-a639-09976987fb00","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

On one side is Islam Makhachev who is training in UAE under former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

And on the other side is Lightweight UFC Champion Charles Oliveira who has a very different fighting technique.

[{"selector":"#anim-54413317-2098-41f8-bf96-091ea546ab8f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(21.874999829338595%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3513dd7b-2b3f-478a-ad01-7c9935a9392f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c14a9928-f60a-40c2-a9f1-f4edc9a90fed","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Charles Elveira may have suffered many defeats in his UFC career, but he is still unique.

[{"selector":"#anim-2d311c9b-a721-4dd9-b79b-3f90d4320e3b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(21.874999829338595%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dfc3680c-d83a-4f5f-93a6-ef5e4f3df5ae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2bf7ab8e-af52-4f29-82bf-831d96232a5b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Looking at Charles Elivera's fighting technique, he looks like he will beat Khabib Nurmagomedov's partner Islam Makhachev

Charles Elveira's dominance and finishing power is so unmatched that he has won 11 consecutive mixed martial arts bouts

While Charles Oliveira has big cheer leaders like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Daniel Cormier
