Burroughs, 37, is a 2012 Olympic gold medalist at 74kg (163.1 pounds) and a six-time world champion. He’s also a two-time NCAA champion at the University of Nebraska and a Dan Hodge Trophy recipient. He joins an ever-expanding roster of wrestling and MMA notables on the RAF roster.
Brady, 33, also makes his promotional debut as he awaits his next UFC assignment after a unanimous decision win over Joaquin Buckley in May. While Brady is known for his strong MMA grappling, he did not wrestle in college nor high school.
