Kurt Angle gives former UFC Champion permission to use his theme song

Former UFC Interim Welterweight Champion Colby Covington will use Kurt Angle’s iconic entrance theme song this weekend at UFC Fight Night where he is scheduled to face Robbie Lawler in the main event.

 


 

Kurt Angle has reportedly given the MMA star permission to use his theme song after Covington reached to Angle through Bobby Lashley. Lashley formerly worked with Covington in the American Top Team.

MMA Expert Ariel Helwani shed light on the deal that was worked through. He revealed:

 “He [Colby Covington] has reached out, through a friend, to Kurt Angle, the former WWE Champion, who’s 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 ‘dun da da dun dun, you suck, you suck’ – the fans just couldn’t help themselves. He has asked Kurt if he can use that song because he wants people to chant ‘You suck!’ as he makes his way to the cage. So that’s a guy who clearly is very comfortable being booed.”
