Hulk Hogan’s appearance at UFC Tampa following Donald Trump’s rally sparked quite a buzz, especially with his legendary catchphrase, “Say your prayers, take your vitamins, and you will never go wrong.” However, it didn’t seem to work out for Colby Covington. Despite Hogan being in his corner, Covington suffered a brutal loss to Joaquin Buckley. Still, Hogan remained supportive of Covington after the defeat, showing that his loyalty goes beyond just wins and losses.
Covington faced backlash from fans after losing to Joaquin Buckley by third-round TKO. The doctor stopped the fight, marking Covington’s second straight loss, with fans calling him all talk, no action. However, it seems Hogan isn’t the one among them.
‘Chaos’ became a hot topic after his loss, especially since he believed he was turning things around. Confident in his performance, he said the fight was tied 1-1, and he was just getting warmed up, feeling he was starting to wear Buckley down before the stoppage. Reacting to this, Hogan also complimented him, saying he fought hard in that fight.
