Colby Covington vs. Khamzat Chimaev title match headlines RAF Abu Dhabi

Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev are set to settle the score with RAF gold on the line.

Promotional officials confirmed to MMA Fighting that Covington defends his cruiserweight crossover title against Chimaev in the main event of RAF Abu Dhabi. The event takes place Nov. 14 at Etihad Arena.

Chimaev was already scheduled to headline the card, but Covington is now in and puts his title on the line for the second time. “Chaos” captured the championship with a win via points over Arman Tsarukyan at RAF 11 in July, and successfully defended it earlier this month with a first-period tech fall win against Belal Muhammad in the main event of RAF 13.
