UAE Warriors 9 is set for Mubadala Arena in Abu Dhabi on November 29th. The event will feature a lightweight fight between two UFC veterans with Dan Moret booked to face Anton Kuivanen.
Kuivanen (26-11) had a three fight stint with the UFC back in 2012. The Finnish fighter fought at Pancrase 297 last year but has primarily been competing in his homeland of late.
By contrast Moret (13-6) was released by the UFC just recently after a three fight losing skid. This will be his first taste of life outside the octagon in nearly two years.
UAE Warriors 8 was held in the same venue a month ago. In the main event late replacement Lee Do Gyeom stopped Rolando Dy to become the promotion’s new featherweight champion.
Former known as Abu Dhabi Warriors, the organization underwent a rebrand earlier this year.
