Unlike Colby Covington, Joaquin Buckley stayed silent the entire fight week slowly making plans to eradicate ‘Chaos’ out of the welterweight division and that’s exactly what he did at the UFC Tampa main event. “New Mansa” took “Chaos” to the pain zone as Buckley made sure Covington didn’t stay on his feet heading into the third round. Blood flowed down the controversial star’s face, and the doctor intervened, halting the match. This decision awarded the victory to Buckley by TKO due to the stoppage. Colby Covington walked out with Hulk Hogan and Chael Sonnen by his side but despite that ‘Chaos’ was battered.

Walking out to the cage, Covington changed his walkout song from Kurt Angle’s WWE theme music to Hogan’s famous “Real American” track by Rick Derringer as the WWE HoFer walked out with him waving the American flag. ‘Chaos’ was certain about his victory as he walked inside the cage but ‘New Mansa’ had some other plans.

Hulk Hogan called out in the midst of Colby Covington’s sad performance

At the age of 71, people generally spend their life enjoying their leisure time but that’s not the case for WWE Hofer, Hulk Hogan, who walked out alongside Colby Covington in his fight against ‘New Mansa’.Well, even ahead of the fight it looked as if Hogan was finding it difficult to hold the flag straight and there were straight signs of some struggle. A worried fan pointed it out, “Hulk already hurt before the match even started.”

Furthermore, a social media user called out Colby Covington for choosing Hulk Hogan for his walkout considering the fact that the representation was a bit over the edge, “LOL that old man can barely walk. What a great representation of America.” Another fan called the crowd mid,” AND THE CROWD GOES….MILDDD.” However, the reality is thatUFC on ESPN 63 attracted an impressive crowd of 18,625 attendees, generating a record-breaking live gate of $3,060,000. This marks the highest revenue ever recorded for a non-PPV event in North America.

Colby Covington is riding a two-fight losing streak now and it appears that the fighter might be going through a rough phase. Buckley took the former interim welterweight champion to the pain arena as ‘Chaos’ is now 1-3 in his last four fights. Looking at this a fan wrote, “All that to come out and show that he hasn’t evolved as a fighter in YEARS. Time for a new camp Colby.” Last but not least, a fan questioned, “All that for what?”

‘Chaos’ career may be in the doldrums after his loss against Joaquin Buckley as the promotion might look into what to do with the controversial fighter for now. Regardless, what’s your take on the hubbub? State your thoughts in the comments below.
