Colby Covington (17-5, 12-5 UFC) and Chris Weidman (16-8, 12-8 UFC) will compete against each other in a professional freestyle wrestling match on May 30 at RAF09. This marks an unusual crossover for both UFC veterans, who will be competing in wrestling rather than MMA. Covington has maintained an active presence in combat sports despite recent UFC setbacks, while Weidman continues to explore opportunities following his storied UFC career. The match represents a unique opportunity for fans to see two former UFC contenders compete in a different combat sport format. Details about the rules and format of the wrestling match were not specified in the announcement.
