The RAF League represents a new format of spectacular sport where UFC stars and freestyle wrestling legends face off on the same mat.

A fighter who rose to become one of the UFC’s most hyped talents thanks to his wrestling roots, he will be in his element here: freestyle wrestling has always been the foundation of his style. The bout between Chimaev and Colby Covington serves as the main event of the RAF Abu Dhabi 2026 tournament. Tickets are now on sale—secure yours early before the best seats are gone.

Interest in RAF tournaments in 2026 is growing exponentially; the format, which combines a gala show with highly competitive sport, appeals to both wrestling connoisseurs and new audiences alike. Arman Tsarukyan will step onto the mat in an unfamiliar setting—without the Octagon or UFC gloves—yet it is precisely his wrestling background that makes him one of the evening's most intriguing competitors. Jordan Burroughs, an icon of American wrestling, adds historic significance to the card; his matches are always a highlight of any tournament. Together, this makes for one of the most stacked cards in the history of the RAF League.

At sporting events of this magnitude, the atmosphere is a highlight in itself. The Etihad Arena was designed specifically for nights like this: its perfect acoustics, spacious stands, VIP amenities, and location on Yas Island make it a premier destination for fans from Russia, the CIS, and across the globe.

There are ticket options to suit every budget—from standard grandstand seats to premium areas.
