Colby Covington (17-5, 12-5 UFC) and Chris Weidman (16-8, 12-8 UFC) will face each other on May 30 at a professional freestyle wrestling tournament. The bout will take place at RAF09, a professional wrestling event. This represents a departure from MMA competition for both fighters, who will compete in a pure wrestling format. Covington has a collegiate wrestling background, while Weidman is a decorated wrestler with NCAA Division I experience. The matchup offers fans a chance to see two established MMA fighters compete in their foundational discipline outside the UFC octagon.
