About RAF Abu Dhabi: Chimaev vs Covington

RAF Abu Dhabi: Chimaev vs Covington brings Real American Freestyle to Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, November 14, 2026. The card is scheduled to start at 20:00 Gulf Standard Time and to run until about 23:00. RAF calls itself an unscripted professional wrestling league, and every matchup on the night is a freestyle wrestling bout.

At the top of the bill, Khamzat Chimaev meets Colby Covington in a Cruiserweight Crossover championship match. The league lists thirteen matchups for the evening, four of them for a championship; several of them are billed as crossover bouts. On November 15 the league runs RAF Next Gen in Abu Dhabi, which it lists as a separate event, not part of the November 14 card.

Fight Card

The league's event page lists the matchups for November 14 in this order:

  • Khamzat Chimaev vs Colby Covington — main event, Cruiserweight Crossover, championship match
  • Arman Tsarukyan vs Neiman Gracie — co-main event, Catchweight Crossover
  • Zabit Magomedsharipov vs Giga Chikadze — Welterweight Crossover
  • Kennedy Blades vs Bella Mir — Middleweight, championship match
  • Abdulrashid Sadulaev vs Dauren Kurugliev — Light Heavyweight

The four championship matches are Chimaev vs Covington, Blades vs Mir, Dake vs Begenjov and Snyder vs Erdogan.

Why Secure Chimaev vs Covington Tickets Now

Chimaev vs Covington is one night in one building, so the demand for it lands on a single date instead of spreading across a run of shows. The headline pairing is already on the league's card, along with twelve more matchups, so buyers know exactly which night they are choosing — and there is no second date for anyone who leaves it late.

Prices for Chimaev vs Covington tickets in Abu Dhabi come from the secondary market rather than a fixed rate card, and they move as November 14 gets closer. Fans travelling in also need time to arrange the trip to Yas Island. An early order leaves the widest choice of categories. Other match nights are collected in the sports tickets section.

Etihad Arena & Event Experience

Etihad Arena is an indoor hall on the Yas Bay waterfront, on the southern side of Yas Island. Since opening in 2021 it has staged combat sports, concerts and award shows, so a wrestling card is familiar work for the building, and the November weather outside has no say in the evening.

Yas Island has no metro or tram. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the way in, and drivers know the destination as Etihad Arena or Yas Bay rather than by a street address. Restaurants and cafés line the promenade within walking distance of the doors, which helps on a night that starts at 20:00 and is planned to run until about 23:00. Other halls with upcoming events are in the venue catalogue.

Ticket Categories & Availability

RAF Abu Dhabi uses five numbered categories, from Category 1 to Category 5. Each released category is listed with its price on the event card on this page; the text here does not repeat figures, because a number in a paragraph goes out of date the moment the market moves.

A ticket covers the whole card, all thirteen matchups, Chimaev vs Covington included. Prices are market-based and can sit above face value: the tickets come through vetted partners on the secondary market, not from the arena box office. Availability does not shrink evenly — one category can thin out weeks ahead while another holds until the final days.
