SportsLine s Kyle Marley reveals his UFC 280 picks and predictions for Charles Oliveira vs Islam Makhachev in Abu Dhabi
By CBS Sports Staff Oct 22, 2022 at 1:09 pm ET • 4 min read Getty Images Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev have combined to win 21 consecutive fights, but one of the lightweight contenders will see a long winning streak come to an end Saturday when they square off for the vacant title in the main event of UFC 280. The pay-per-view main UFC 280 fight card is set for 2 p.m. ET from Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The top-ranked Oliveira is a former champion with an 11-fight winning streak who is looking to reclaim the title after he was stripped of it for missing weight in his last performance. He faces a daunting challenge from the No. 4-ranked Makhachev, who has positioned himself for the title shot behind 10 consecutive victories. Makhachev is the -190 favorite (risk $190 to win $100), while Oliveira comes back at +170 in the latest UFC 280 odds at Caesars Sportsbook. In the co-main event, bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling (-175) defends his title against No. 2-ranked contender T.J. Dillashaw (+155). Before making any UFC 280 picks, make sure you check out the MMA predictions and betting advice from SportsLine expert Kyle Marley. Marley won the first-ever "ToutMaster" UFC betting contest sponsored by MMAOddsBreaker and appears regularly on multiple MMA betting and daily Fantasy shows. He watches every single fight for every professional MMA card and does extensive research before each event. Over the past three-plus years, $100 bettors who have followed Marley's picks are up more than $13,000. The accomplished MMA analyst kicked off the 2022 UFC season in January by advising SportsLine members to back Calvin Kattar (+200) against Giga Chikadze (-240) in the featherweight main event. Kattar's lopsided unanimous-decision victory gave Marley's followers another easy winner. Anyone who has followed him is way up. Now, he's turned his attention to the UFC 280 fight card and locked in his best bets. You can only see his MMA picks at SportsLine.UFC 280 Charles Oliveira vs Islam Makhachev preview
The main event is one of the most anticipated matchups in the history of the lightweight division. The late-blooming Oliveira (33-8-1) had lost four of six and appeared headed toward journeyman status before he embarked on his current winning streak. The 33-year-old Brazilian has long been one of the sport's dominant grapplers, but he has added a lethal stand-up game and overcame what was a widespread perception of an inability to withstand adversity. Oliveira knocked out Michael Chandler in the second round of their May 2021 matchup to win the title and defended it seven months later with a submission of Dustin Poirier seven months later. He was stripped of the title before his defense against Justin Gaethje in May for missing weight by a half pound on a scale that many other fighters on the card complained gave inaccurate readings. He submitted Gaethje in the first round but was demoted to the top-ranked contender and must now beat Makhachev to reclaim the title. Makhachev (22-1) is known for his speed wrestling and ground-and-pound in a style that reminds many of his coach and mentor, Khabib Nurmagomedov, the former champion who retired in 2020 with a 29-0 record. Makhachev has maintained he never intended to imitate Nurmagomedov, but the similarities are undeniable. The 31-year-old Russian lost his second UFC fight to Adriano Martins in October 2015 but hasn't lost since and has stopped his past four opponents to earn the title shot.

We'll share one of Marley's UFC 280 selections here: He is siding with Beneil Dariush (+165) to get past Mateusz Gamrot (-185) in a clash of lightweight contenders on the main card. The winner could be next in line for a title shot against the winner of Saturday's main event. Dariush (21-4-1) is a rugged and versatile veteran who is known for his relentless grappling and power punching. The 33-year-old Californian has won seven consecutive fights but saw his ascent up the rankings slowed by various injuries that have kept him out of the cage since May of last year when he won a decision against former interim champion Tony Ferguson. Gamrot (21-1-1) joined the UFC as a coveted prospect following a 14-fight unbeaten run in the respected KSW promotion in which the lone blemish on his record came from a no-contest because of an accidental foul. The 31-year-old Polish fighter lost his UFC debut but has since won four straight while earning performance bonuses in three of those victories. "Both fighters are solid wrestlers, but Gamrot probably has a small edge. Dariush is the better grappler and he might have a slight striking edge. I will side with Dariush because he is the underdog in a fight that I could see going either way," Marley told SportsLine. See who else to pick here.How to make UFC 280 picks
