UFC 280 Main Card Picks on DraftKings Sportsbook

Saturday's UFC 280 event takes place from Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, and due to the location, the card has an earlier start time than usual. The main card gets underway at 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon, eight hours earlier than the usual start time of 10:00 p.m. ET for the main card.

UFC 280 is headlined by two title fights. The main event is a lightweight title fight between Charles Oliveira and rising star Islam Makhachev. Oliveira entered his last fight as the reigning UFC lightweight champion, but missing weight caused him to be stripped of his title. Oliveira was not allowed to reclaim the title despite winning, and he will have to beat Makhachev to officially be recognized as the champion again.

The co-main event is a bantamweight title bout between current champion Aljamain Sterling and former champion TJ Dillashaw. Like Oliveira, Dillashaw did not lose his title inside the octagon. Instead, Dillashaw relinquished the bantamweight title after a failed drug test.

During the last UFC PPV at UFC 279, a DraftKings Sportsbook bettor made a big profit with the help of Nate Diaz. The bettor turned $100 into $1,900 by placing this Same Game Parlay (SGP) on DraftKings Sportsbook at +1900 odds:

• Nate Diaz moneyline
• Over 2.5 Rounds
• Nate Diaz by submission

Because Diaz won by submission in Round 4, the bettor successfully cashed their bet.
