If you were wondering where Hulk Hogan was during last night’s WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show in Uniondale, New York, he was actually in Tampa, Florida, attending the UFC event. Hogan made a special appearance at UFC Fight Night, walking out to the cage with UFC fighter Colby Covington ahead of his main event showdown with Joaquin Buckley. In a nod to Hogan’s legendary career, Covington chose Hogan’s iconic “Real American” entrance theme as his walkout music, adding to the excitement of the moment.
In the fight itself, Buckley emerged victorious in the main event, winning via TKO (doctor stoppage) in Round 3. The event was a big one for UFC, and Hogan’s presence added an extra layer of star power. UFC also shared a photo of Hogan alongside Covington and fellow MMA legend Chael Sonnen, who were all in attendance at the event. Fans can also check out some exciting clips of Hogan walking out with Covington, making for a memorable crossover moment between the worlds of pro wrestling and mixed martial arts.
