Jesse Arnett will defend his featherweight championship against Ali AlQaisi when their rematch headlines UAE Warriors 33 on Sept. 17 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Meanwhile, Tahir Abdullaev risks his welterweight crown against Josh Togo in the co-main event.
Arnett heads in to show on a two-fight winning streak. The 38-year-old Canadian has not competed since he prompted what some viewed as a controversial doctor stoppage against AlQaisi in the second round of their UAE Warriors 30 pairing on July 2. Arnett has delivered 15 of his 20 career victories by knockout, technical knockout or submission. AlQaisi, meanwhile, has rattled off four wins in five appearances since being jettisoned by the Ultimate Fighting Championship following a two-fight stint with the organization in 2020. His loss to Arnett was his first in nearly two years.
Elsewhere on the card, decorated muay thai stylist Coline Biron makes her promotional debut opposite undefeated Turkish wrestler Aysun Erge in a women’s strawweight feature. Erge has not fought since Sept. 8, 2019, her absence from the mixed martial arts stage blamed on the coronavirus pandemic.Bakhromjon Ruziev vs Younes Chemali
