Colby Covington and Chris Weidman to compete in freestyle wrestling match May 30

Former UFC contenders Colby Covington (17-5 UFC record) and Chris Weidman (16-8 UFC record) will face each other in a professional freestyle wrestling match on May 30. The bout will take place at RAF09, a professional wrestling tournament. This represents a departure from MMA competition for both fighters, with Covington known for his wrestling base and Weidman being a former UFC middleweight champion. The match will showcase their grappling skills in a pure wrestling format rather than mixed martial arts.
