Colby Covington headlined UFC Fight Night in Tampa on December 14th, taking on Joaquin Buckley.
Covington used "Real American" as his walkout song, and had Hulk Hogan by his side. Hogan waved the American flag as Colby walked to the cage.
Covington got battered against Buckley for 15 minutes, forcing the doctor to stop the fight at the end of the third round due to a cut near his eye.
