While many thought Hulk Hogan would be part of the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event last night, the Hulkster had another gig planned…with another TKO Group company by the initials of UFC.

Hogan walked out with UFC fighter Colby Covington and former fighter Chael Sonnen for his fight against Joaquin Buckley in the main event of UFC on ESPN 63. Hulk’s WWE theme song Real American was used for the entrance, with Hogan carrying and waving the American flag along the way.

“A trio you didn’t know you needed,” the UFC X account posted along with the video. “An epic walk out for @ColbyCovMMA!”

Covington cupped his ears the way Hogan did before he walked into the cage, although unfortunately for him, he lost the fight.

The show took place from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
