Abdulrashid Sadulaev to make RAF debut in US within months, open to any opponent

Olympic wrestling champion Abdulrashid Sadulaev will make his MMA debut with the RAF promotion in the United States within the next few months. When asked about potential opponents including Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar, Sadulaev nodded affirmatively. He stated he is ready to face anyone, echoing Khabib Nurmagomedov's famous line about fighting King Kong if necessary, but added a strategic caveat: his opponent must make 97 kg (approximately 214 pounds). This weight requirement suggests Sadulaev is planning to compete at light heavyweight or a similar weight class. The debut represents a highly anticipated crossover from elite-level wrestling to professional MMA.
