About the Match
Khamzat Chimaev tops the bill at RAF Abu Dhabi on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Etihad Arena on Yas Island. The evening opens the emirate's Real American Freestyle calendar — a professional league contested in the Olympic freestyle discipline, where results are decided on the mat rather than agreed beforehand.
For Chimaev the date is a return rather than a debut: the UAE counts him as its own, and he wrestles here in front of a home crowd. Freestyle is also where he started, which is what makes the booking more than a novelty appearance. How the league is built and how a night of freestyle is scored are set out on the about RAF Abu Dhabi page.
Fight Card
Six wrestlers are confirmed for the card. Opponents have not been announced — the league names pairings closer to the date, and nothing on this page is a matchup until it is.
- Khamzat Chimaev — heads the bill, opponent to be announced
- Arman Tsarukyan — opponent to be announced
- Henry Cejudo — opponent to be announced
- Jordan Burroughs — opponent to be announced
- Kyle Snyder — opponent to be announced
- Abdulrashid Sadulaev — opponent to be announced
The list already spans both halves of the league's roster: Olympic and world champions from wrestling's own ranks alongside names known from mixed martial arts. Confirmed additions appear on the RAF Abu Dhabi schedule.
Why Buy Khamzat Chimaev Tickets Early
Three things push demand at once on this date. It is the first RAF night in the emirate, it is headed by a naturalised UAE citizen who competes for the country internationally, and it runs for a single evening — there is no second session to move to.
Prices here move with demand rather than sitting on a published rate card, so what a place costs while the card is still forming and what it costs once the opponents are named are rarely the same figure. The card is still being built, which is the part of the timeline a buyer can act on: a request placed now is answered from whatever our partners release first, without waiting for the running order to close.
Etihad Arena on the Night
Etihad Arena stands on the Yas Bay waterfront at the northern end of Yas Island, about 15 minutes by road from Zayed International Airport and roughly 30 kilometres from central Abu Dhabi. It is indoor and air-conditioned, so a November evening runs to plan regardless of what the weather outside is doing.
The promenade outside the doors carries restaurants and cafés, which suits an evening where spectators arrive well before the first match and stay on afterwards while the traffic off the island clears. Routes, parking, entry and what November in Abu Dhabi is actually like are covered on the venue guide.
Ticket Categories & Availability
No ticket categories have been released for this date yet. Until the organiser opens general sale, this page carries a request rather than a live listing: you tell us what you are after, and our team comes back once inventory for the date reaches the market through our verified partners.
When categories are released, the listing on this page shows what is actually on sale and what it costs, read from our system on every visit — this text never quotes a figure that has stopped being current. Requests are worked in the order they reach us, so one placed before the listing opens is answered before one placed after it.

The same terms apply to every order on this storefront, and nothing on this page or in an order confirmation overrides them.
Secure Booking & Delivery
Booking runs in one pass once categories are live: choose a category, set how many places you need, and pay through encrypted checkout — confirmation reaches your inbox the moment payment clears. Several places booked together stay in the same category where availability allows, and the whole set goes to the one email address used at checkout.
Until sale opens, the request form on this page does the same job in reverse: it records what you want so we can come back to you with what is available. A request costs nothing and commits you to nothing — it records what you are after so we can come back with what exists. Ordering questions are answered on the FAQ page.
