Colby Covington teased that a special guest would walk him out to the octagon at UFC on ESPN 63, and that proved true when he was accompanied by WWE legend Hulk Hogan.
Covington changed his walkout song from Kurt Angle’s to Hogan’s famous “Real American” track by Rick Derringer, and the WWE Hall of Famer appeared with him when he made his way to the cage for Saturday’s welterweight headliner against Joaquin Buckley at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla.
Check out the video below to see Hogan and Covington walk out at UFC on ESPN 63 (via X):

If they hadn’t been already, Covington and Hogan surely became acquainted with each other during the 2024 presidential election cycle as both men have been staunch supporters of Donald Trump.
