Abdulrashid Sadulaev to make RAF MMA debut within months in US event

Olympic wrestling champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev will make his RAF MMA debut within the next few months at a tournament in the United States. The Russian wrestler stated he is ready to face any opponent and responded to questions about facing Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar. Echoing Khabib Nurmagomedov's famous quote, Sadulaev said his opponent can be anyone, "even King Kong," as long as they can make 97 kg (214 lbs). The comment suggests Sadulaev will be competing at light heavyweight. This marks a significant crossover from elite-level wrestling to professional mixed martial arts.
