Quick read
Former UFC welterweight title challenger Colby Covington (17-5, 12-5 UFC) will face former middleweight champion Chris Weidman (16-8, 12-8 UFC) on May 30 at a professional freestyle wrestling tournament, RAF09. This represents a departure from MMA competition for both fighters, as they transition to the wrestling format. The matchup brings together two veteran UFC competitors with extensive octagon experience. Both fighters have been mainstays in the UFC for years, with Weidman being a former champion and Covington having multiple title shots. The event marks an interesting crossover opportunity for the two mixed martial artists.
