Hulk Hogan’s Lie Brutally Busted by UFC Co-Creator Campbell McLaren Who Squashes The Hulkster’s Claim of Being Invited to UFC 1

WWE stars are known for the paramount entertainment value they provide through their acts and speeches. Everyone knows that the WWE is scripted and wrestlers twist words to make people react in certain ways. However, there are times when they twist facts, without the script demanding them to. One of the biggest superstars guilty of this crime is none other than Hulk Hogan.

The Hulkster is undoubtedly the most popular star pro wrestling has ever seen. He was the guy who had a big hand in making the sport mainstream. However, Hulk Hogan also has a very bad reputation when it comes to twisting facts on record. While there have been quite a few such incidents in the past, the most recent one has been busted by the UFC.

Hulk Hogan fails another lie detector test

Hulk Hogan is one of the most influential pro wrestling figures of all time. Hogan is known for his charisma and success in the ring but there have been instances where his profile has been affected by twisting facts on record.

From crashing matches along with his New World Order buddies to single-handedly beating everyone up, Hogan has done it all. It is obvious that someone as big as Hulk Hogan should use his words wisely. However, keeping them limited to the truth has not been a strong suit of the Hulkster. This time, Hogan’s claims by the co-creator of UFC, Campbell McLaren for claiming to have fought in PRIDE fighters in the 70s and that he was invited by UFC to fight in their first PPV in 1993 were squashed.

A tweet by Bloody Elbow revealed that Hogan’s bluff was exposed by Mclaren because of very simple factual errors. The tweet said, “Hulk Hogan claimed he fought PRIDE Fighters in the 70s, but PRIDE’s first event was in 1997 and UFC’s first PPV was in 1993.” 

Moreover, McLaren directly denied ever sending an offer to the Hulkster for UFC 1. While this created a huge wave of shock for many fans, a major chunk of fans knew this was coming.

In fact, this was pretty tame compared to the lies Hulk Hogan has told in the past.

The Hulkster and his absurd claims

Hulk Hogan has made some of the grandest and the most absurd claims throughout history. There was a time when Hogan said that he had denied the lead role in the 2008 award-winning film, Wrestler. Hulk Hogan said that he rejected the offer in good faith. 

He said that he has a lot of enemies in the film industry and his involvement would sink the film. The lie was called out by the movie director, Darren Aronofsky, who said he made no offer to Hogan. 

This doesn’t stop here, Hogan had also once claimed that Lars Ulrich had once requested him to join Metallica. Hulk Hogan claimed to be a friend of Ulrich, who once asked Hogan to play bass guitars for the band.
