RAF Abu Dhabi results: Khamzat Chimaev wins RAF title, Arman Tsarukyan cruises to victory
MMA Junkie has you covered with live results of RAF Abu Dhabi on Saturday at Coca-Cola Arena, where many UFC notables are on the card.
A brawl at the hotel Wednesday led to some card changes — and arrests — but the event will go on as planned. In the main event, former UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev takes on a replacement opponent, fellow ex-UFC champ Chris Weidman, who stepped in for Colby Covington. Plus, Arman Tsarukyan meets Neiman Gracie.
In the aftermath of the brawl set off by Usman Nurmagomedov against Merab Dvalishvili, his brother Umar is out of his match against Urijah Faber – and Dvalishvili's teammate Saba Lazishvili will step in. Dvalishvili, despite being battered and bloodied in the attack, stays on the card against Marlon Moraes.
