Colby Covington (17-5, 12-5 UFC) and Chris Weidman (16-8, 12-8 UFC) will meet on May 30 at RAF 9 in a professional freestyle wrestling match. This represents a departure from MMA competition for both fighters. Covington, a former collegiate wrestler, and Weidman will test their grappling skills in a pure wrestling format. The bout is scheduled for the ninth edition of the RAF (presumably Real American Fighting) wrestling event.
