If you are looking for the premier sporting event of the autumn, the answer is clear: Abu Dhabi will host an RAF league tournament that promises to be one of the most spectacular combat sports nights of the year. The event is organized by RAF—a young yet rapidly growing league that brings together the planet's best wrestlers alongside UFC stars and other global sports icons. Khamzat Chimaev and Colby Covington will headline the card, joined on the mat by Arman Tsarukyan, Abdulrashid Sadulaev, Kyle Snyder, and Jordan Burroughs. Never before has an RAF tournament featured such a concentration of top-tier names.
The showdown between Sadulaev and Snyder is a highlight within the tournament. Abdulrashid Sadulaev—a three-time Olympic champion known as the "Russian Tank"—is one of the greatest heavyweight wrestlers in history. Kyle Snyder is the Rio 2016 Olympic champion and a multiple-time World and NCAA champion. Their rivalry has been building for years, and the 2026 RAF tournament in Abu Dhabi will be the stage where this long-awaited clash ignites. Those already buying tickets for this event know full well that live sporting events of this caliber are a rarity. Etihad Arena has hosted major UFC tournaments, boxing nights featuring Anthony Joshua, and other massive global sporting events.
Various ticket categories offer excellent views of the mat, ranging from general-view stands to floor-level seats near the arena and VIP sections with premium amenities. Ticket prices vary—choose the best option now while the most desirable seats are still available.
