(Reuters) Islam Makhachev has pulled off a sensational submission win over Charles Oliveira to win the lightweight title and Aljamain Sterling beat TJ Dillashaw by TKO to claim the bantamweight belt at UFC 280 at the Etihad Arena. Russia's Makhachev capped his ascent to the lightweight throne on Saturday with a brilliant win by arm triangle choke against Brazilian Oliveira, the holder of the UFC record for submission wins with 16. ET on ESPN News and continuing on PPV on ESPN+. Oliveira was stripped of the lightweight belt in May when he missed the weight for his title clash with Justin Gaethje and though he beat the American the title remained vacant, setting up the showdown with Makhachev. It is an incredibly hard fight to speculate, as Makhachev has manhandled opponents in a way that is foolish to imagine happening against Oliveira. After spending much of the first round defending and trying to threaten with submissions off his back, Oliveira tried to keep the fight on the feet in the second round. Unfortunately, no video component or guest for such a huge fight card due to a very busy football season. That tactic looked like it was paying off until he was decked by a punch from Makhachev, who wasted no time jumping on his opponent, locking in the choke and forcing the tap for Oliveira.” Makhachev started out quickly, opening the fight with a left hook to the chin just seconds in that dropped Oliveira. After the fight, jubilant Makhachev said: "First, I have to say I always ask God and he gives me always more than I ask. You will see two bets on the main and co-main events on opposite sides. Makhachev has never encountered anything like that, so today will show us if he can overcome that. Alhamdulillah." Makhachev dedicated the win to his late coach Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, who died in 2020, saying: "Many years ago he told me just train hard and I will be champion", before handing the belt to Khabib Nurmagomedov who took over from his father as the Russian's coach and is himself a former UFC lightweight champion. I believe that most of the possible outcomes are covered in each fight with these bets, with a minimum 17. His 11th submission win moves the 31-year-old Makhachev on to a record of 23 wins and one loss as a pro. Dillashaw will attempt to prove he is the same fighter that he was in 2018 when he successfully defended the belt against Cody Garbrandt. Other fights In the co-main event Dillashaw, who had to give up the belt and serve a two-year suspension after testing positive for EPO in 2019, suffered a dislocated shoulder early in the first round but somehow made it through the first frame. Let’s cash some tickets and enjoy. “All our lives, we trained together, 22 years,” Nurmagomedov said. Reigning champion Sterling did not let up and Dillashaw's shoulder popped out again in the second round, allowing the 33-year-old Jamaican-American to take him down and dominate him until referee Mark Goddard called a halt "I probably popped it out about 20 times in training camp.. Must be 21+. A second bantamweight bout is also extremely compelling, as Petr Yan fights Sean O’Malley.. I told the ref in the back that my shoulder is probably going to pop out, we'll put it back so if it does don't stop (the fight)," American Dillashaw said in his post-fight interview.

In the main card's other big fight, American Sean O'Malley won a close split decision over Russian Petr Yan after a three-round brawl to put himself in pole position for a shot at the bantamweight title. Dariush is seeking to prove he should still be in title consideration following his 17-month absence from the cage, while a hungry Gamrot now possesses a long-awaited chance to break into the top five of the division.
