Desert Power: Machado and Breese Headline an International Firefight in Abu Dhabi!
The combat capital of the world is once again preparing to open the doors of the ADNEC Centre for a night of elite violence that bridges the gap between Eastern grit and Western technique. On January 31, 2026, UAE Warriors 67: Machado vs. Breese brings an immense international showcase to the United Arab Emirates, featuring a roster of battle-hardened veterans and terrifying prospects from across the globe. As Abu Dhabi continues to cement its status as the ultimate proving ground, this card offers a relentless schedule of matchups where world-class strikers and grappling wizards collide in the pursuit of divisional supremacy.
Main Event: The Heavy Hitter vs. The Technical Assassin
The headline event is a massive Light Heavyweight 205 lbs collision between two men who have seen the bright lights of the UFC and are now hunting for dominance in the UAE Warriors cage. Caio "Bigfoot" Machado enters the contest as a legitimate powerhouse, known for his suffocating pressure and a physical presence that has overwhelmed many in the heavy-duty divisions. He faces a tactical nightmare in Tom Breese, a veteran of the global circuit whose technical grappling and precise striking have made him a feared name across multiple organizations. This is a classic battle of "Power vs. Precision," where Machado’s raw strength will be tested by the sophisticated submission game and high-IQ approach of the Englishman in a bout that rarely goes the distance.
International Stakes and Featherweight Fireworks
The depth of the card is highlighted by a high-stakes Featherweight 145 lbs scrap between the surging Akbarjon Islomboev and the dangerous Ali Guliev. Islomboev has been on a tear, utilizing a blend of relentless pressure and regional experience to become one of the most talked-about names in the division. He meets a formidable adversary in Guliev, a fighter who possesses the finishing instinct to end any night early. Also featured is former EFC champion Sylvester Chipfumbu, who looks to return to his winning ways in a Featherweight 145 lbs war against the resilient Gustavo Ribeiro. These matchups represent the core of the UAE Warriors mission: pitting the best of the CIS and Africa against South American standouts in a true clash of styles.
Heavyweight Heat and the Nomad Bloodline
Fans of the big men will be treated to a Heavyweight 265 lbs showdown between the undefeated Gadzhi Abdulkadirov and the veteran Sofiane Boukichou. In a division where one mistake ends the night, Abdulkadirov looks to maintain his perfect run against a man who has shared the cage with some of Europe's finest. The card also features the return of the undefeated Moris Boleyan in a Bantamweight 135 lbs contest. Boleyan has become a viral sensation due to his 100% finish rate via submission, making him one of the most dangerous specialists on the roster. Additionally, the presence of the talented Ulugbek Rakhmonov in the welterweight ranks ensures that the world-class wrestling pedigree of Kazakhstan will be on full display.
A Global Theater of War in Abu Dhabi
