Tickets for the RAF Abu Dhabi Tournament: Khamzat Chimaev vs. Colby Covington in Abu Dhabi

One of the world’s premier arenas will serve as the stage for a showdown that has the entire combat sports world talking. The RAF Abu Dhabi tournament is more than just a freestyle wrestling competition; it is a spectacle blending Olympic-level mastery with the charisma of the UFC. Khamzat Chimaev headlines the evening against Colby Covington, lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan adds star power to the card, and the duel between Sadulaev and Snyder is a strong contender for "Wrestling Match of the Year." This is the kind of RAF event for which fans buy tickets early and plan their trips months in advance. In the 2026 RAF league, every sporting event tells a story, and Abu Dhabi will be no exception. Khamzat Chimaev’s participation in the RAF league is no coincidence; the fighter has publicly expressed his desire to compete across various formats, and wrestling is his native discipline—the foundation upon which his professional career was built. In Abu Dhabi, he will find himself in an environment where his wrestling skills are valued on their own merits, independent of his striking arsenal or UFC tactics. Crucially for the audience, the RAF tournament offers a chance to see Chimaev in a different light—not as an MMA fighter, but as a wrestler. It is a rare opportunity, and the organizers guarantee a world-class spectacle.

The tournament takes place at the Etihad Arena—the very venue that has hosted UFC Abu Dhabi events featuring Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, and other global combat sports stars over the years.

The arena meets all the standards for major sporting events, featuring comfortable seating, various ticket categories to suit any budget, and excellent infrastructure. Availability of electronic tickets for such events decreases as the date approaches, so it is best to purchase them in advance.
