Former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion, Colby Covington is the real heel of the UFC. Yes, in UFC there is no concept of a babyface or heel. However, Covington’s antics inside the octagon have always resonated with the heels of pro-wrestling.

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle once provided the former interim Champion with the iconic ‘you s*ck’ theme song to use during his fight against Robbie Lawler.

However, Covington is known for getting the crowd enticed by his actions. Veteran sports journalist, Ariel Helwani once cleared the air on why Covington wanted to use this specific theme song while walking out to fight.

“He [Colby Covington] has reached out, through a friend, to Kurt Angle, the former WWE Champion, whose theme song was very popular while he was an active wrestler. It was popular because fans loved to chant ‘You suck!’ in the middle of the theme song. So the song would go something like ‘you suck, you suck’. The fans just couldn’t help themselves.” said Helwani. [h/t: talkSPORT]
