SportsLine's Kyle Marley reveals his UFC 280 picks and predictions for Charles Oliveira vs. Islam Makhachev in Abu Dhabi.

Dobson (+175) Armen Petrosyan (-200) vs. Dillashaw (+155) Aljamain Sterling (-175) vs. Dillashaw (+155). The top-rated Yan (16-3) is a former champion whose two UFC losses have both come at the hands of current champion Aljamain Sterling. In the co-main event, bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling (-175) defends his title against No. 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. Marley also has strong picks for Oliveira vs. Caesars Sportsbook lists Makhachev as the -190 favorite (risk $190 to win $100), while Oliveira comes back at +170 in the latest UFC 280 odds. Oliveira won the title at UFC 262 and defended it once before being stripped of the belt because of a weight miss at UFC 274 in May. Charles Oliveira seeks to reclaim the lightweight title Saturday in the main event of UFC 280 when he faces surging contender Islam Makhachev for the belt.
