UAE Warriors 46 kicks off 2024 with a 12-fight card headlined by a lightweight contest between Brazilian Alex da Silva and Russian Dinislam Kamavov at the Mubadala Arena on Saturday.
Da Silva, 27, won his last two fights after suffering a split decision against Russian Makkasharip Zaynukov in his first appearance in the UAE Warriors in March 2023.
“Obviously, I want to add another win and keep knocking for a title fight in the promotion,” Da Silva, who has a career record of 23 wins against five losses, said.
“These fights are tough as always. It doesn’t matter who you fight against but I have come here prepared and ready to take on anyone the promotion has got for me.”
Kamavov, making his debut in the promotion, arrives with a 13-2-2 record with his last appearance being a win over Bakytbek Duishobaev of Kyrgyzstan in the Eagle FC in December 2022.
The co-main event features two newcomers in South Korea's Kim Tae-kyun (9-1) and Amin Gasinov (10-1) of Azerbaijan in the featherweight division.
UFC’s Mark Climaco, 26, and Extreme Fighting Championship’s Tumelo Manyamala also make their UAE Warriors debuts in a three-round flyweight bout.
American Climaco (9-2) is an exciting prospect who already has high-level MMA experience in Bellator, LFA, and Road to the UFC. South African Manyamala is undefeated in five fights and is another exciting prospect.
The UAE Warriors 46 will be followed by Warriors Arabia 13 that sees Wisem Hammami defend his welterweight title against Omran Chaaban on Sunday at the same venue.

Tearful appearance
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.
