Former UFC contenders Colby Covington and Chris Weidman will compete in a professional freestyle wrestling match at RAF 09 on May 30. Covington holds a 17-5 overall record with a 12-5 UFC record, while Weidman stands at 16-8 overall and 12-8 in the UFC. Both fighters are transitioning from MMA to compete in this wrestling-specific event. The matchup represents an interesting crossover for two well-known mixed martial artists. This appears to be part of a trend of MMA fighters competing in pure grappling or wrestling contests outside the cage.
