Colby Covington (17-5, 12-5 UFC) will face Chris Weidman (16-8, 12-8 UFC) at RAF09, a professional freestyle wrestling tournament scheduled for May 30. This marks an unusual crossover appearance for both UFC veterans in the wrestling format. Covington has been inactive in MMA recently while Weidman continues his career following a serious leg injury. The matchup represents a departure from traditional MMA competition for both fighters. Details about the rules format and whether this impacts their UFC status were not provided in the announcement.
