ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Islam Makhachev has won the vacant lightweight title at UFC 280 with a second-round submission of Charles Oliveira in a one-sided fight. The 31-year-old Russian won his 11th straight fight with an arm triangle choke at 3:17 of Round 2 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Oliveira was aiming to reclaim the title which was taken away in May after the Brazilian failed to make weight for his fight against Justin Gaethje.
