Quick read
Colby Covington (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) will compete against Chris Weidman (16-8 MMA, 12-8 UFC) in a professional freestyle wrestling match on May 30 at RAF09, a wrestling tournament. This represents a departure from MMA competition for both fighters, who will test their grappling skills in a pure wrestling format. Covington has a background in collegiate wrestling, while Weidman also comes from a strong wrestling base before his MMA career. The match will take place under professional wrestling rules rather than MMA regulations. No location for the RAF09 event was specified in the post.
