Buentello, Prindle Cleared for Abu Dhabi Warriors 4; Sarnavskiy-‘Macaco’ Set as Co-Main Event

American heavyweights Paul Buentello and Eric Prindle will square off in Abu Dhabi tomorrow after both men hit the scale at Monday’s official weigh-in for Abu Dhabi Warriors 4.

Buentello checked in at 265 pounds, while Prindle came in at a whopping 283 pounds for the three-round super-heavyweight contest. The matchup headlines a 10-fight card from the United Arab Emirates-based organization which will stream live and free on AbuDhabi-Warriors.com beginning at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT.

Buentello enters the 51st bout of his professional career looking to build off an October knockout of Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou at Abu Dhabi Warriors 3. Prindle has won three in a row, including a pair under the Pancrase bannner, and last saw action in a March submission victory over Maurice Jackson.

Buentello and Prindle are not the only big-show veterans on the card, as former Bellator lightweight contender Alexander Sarnavskiy (155) will take on well-traveled Brazilian veteran Jorge Patino (154) in the evening’s co-main event. Ex-Bellator fighter Akop Stepanyan (160) faces onetime UFC competitor Will Chope (158) in a catch-weight contest, while at light heavyweight, Californian Anthony Ruiz (206) tangles with Denmark’s Joachim Christensen (205).
