UFC 280's stacked card now has another potential barnburner on the card, with Belal Muhammad taking on Sean Brady in the prelims.

UFC 280 is touted to be the best pay-per-view of the year with arguably the most anticipated championship fight headlining the card. Former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira will go up against the surging Islam Makhachev and his 10-fight win streak. The main card will feature another title fight between bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling and the returning former champ T.J. Dillashaw.

Furthermore, Sean O'Malley and former bantamweight champion Petr Yan will lock horns while Beneil Dariush and Mateusz Gamrot take on each other in a firecracker of a match. Katlyn Chookagian will face Manon Fiorot in a women's flyweight bout to fill out the main card.

Belal Muhammad and Sean Brady will close out the preliminary card as a precursor to the star-heavy main card. The two welterweight contenders will aim for a result that will help them rise in the division rankings from No.5 and No.8, respectively.

Volkan Oezdemir and Nikita Krylov will also compete in the prelims in a pivotal match between potential light heavyweight contenders.

Team Khabib will be well represented in familiar territory in Abu Dhabi as Zubaira Tukhogov takes on Lucas Almeida in a featherweight bout. Abubakar Nurmagomedov will also fight Gadzhi Omargadzhiev in the welterweight division.
