A turning point in the Lightweight division, as Charles Oliveira, who had lost his title on the scales at UFC 274, attempted to defeat Khabib Nurmagomedov’s protégé Islam Makhachev and reclaim the title he never lost in a fight. Sean O’Malley also competed in an extremely close bout with Petr Yan, while Aljamain Sterling faced T.J. Dillashaw in another strange fight in the Bantamweight division.
