Umar Nurmagomedov has received a high-profile opponent for his first appearance in RAF. In Abu Dhabi, the Russian will compete in a wrestling match against UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber.
Umar Nurmagomedov will try his hand at professional wrestling.
On November 14 at the RAF tournament in Abu Dhabi, the Russian will face Urijah Faber. For Umar, this will be his debut appearance in the league after the August bout with Song Yadong in the UFC.
47-year-old Faber has already competed in the RAF twice but has not yet won: he lost to Henry Cejudo by technical superiority and then lost early to Arman Tsarukyan.
The tournament in Abu Dhabi will also be headlined by the title bout between Khamzat Chimaev and Colby Covington.
