Quick read
Colby Covington (17-5, 12-5 UFC) and Chris Weidman (16-8, 12-8 UFC) will compete in a professional wrestling match at RAF 09 on May 30. The bout will take place under wrestling rules rather than MMA rules. Both fighters are established UFC veterans transitioning to compete in this wrestling format. Covington has been a top welterweight contender known for his wrestling base, while Weidman is a former middleweight champion. This represents an unusual cross-promotion appearance for both UFC fighters in a pure wrestling competition.
