Colby Covington (17-5 UFC) and Chris Weidman (16-8 UFC) are scheduled to compete in a professional wrestling match at RAF 09 on May 30. This marks a departure from MMA competition for both former UFC contenders. Covington holds a 12-5 record inside the UFC octagon, while Weidman, the former middleweight champion, stands at 12-8 in the promotion. The bout will take place at a professional wrestling event rather than an MMA card. Both fighters are venturing into a different combat sports format with this matchup.
