The UFC 280 lineup is stacked top to bottom, but a little less than it was seven days ago.

MMA Junkie learned that three fighters were unable to compete for different reasons. All three players are expected to compete in preliminary rounds for the pay-per-view event on October 22 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.

UFC 280 Titled with two title fights. In the main event, Charles Oliveira defended his UFC lightweight title against Islam Makhachev. Bantamweight champion Ajaman Sterling defends his title against former champion TJ Dillashaw in the co-main event.
