Former Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov recently made some massive claims regarding the main event.

Taking to social media, the former 155-pound king stated: “I just think Charles Oliveira will not show up in Abu Dhabi and the UFC will replace Charles with Beneil Dariush. Regardless of who the opponent will be, @MAKHACHEVMMA is on his way to becoming the best in the world #ufc280.”

Beneil Dariush has also revealed that he is the backup for the main event. Speaking to MMAJunkie, he said: “That’s what Ali (Abdelaziz) told me – I was the backup for this. Of course (I’ll make 155 pounds). It’s not that hard. I make 156. Last time in Texas (at UFC 262), I was pretty much 155 when I fought.”
