Hulk Hogan has been a household name in the pro wrestling industry for multiple decades. The impact Hogan left on the business is still there, intact. His incredible talent brought him immense success in the world, but the latest event in the combat sports world proves how hard it is to live up to his name.

In a recent MMA fight, Hogan’s nephew suffered a defeat in a very humiliating and unpredictable manner. Not everyone in the Hogan family has The Hulkster’s gene, apparently.

Garza began dominating Bollea the moment the bout began. From the beginning of the match, he had control over his opponent, which ultimately led him to grab the victory in the first round itself. He KO-ed Bollea so hard that he landed on the mat face-first, giving Garza a Big W.

Seeing Garza brutally defeat Bollea in the waning seconds of the opening round was definitely a shocker to many fans. Considering an impressive record of 8-2 [now 8-3], it would be fair to say that no one had expected Bollea to lose so early in the match.

Bollea set his foot in the MMA world back in 2008. His mixed martial arts career had a good start with three wonderful victories. He suffered his first loss in his fourth MMA bout. It was against Jimmy Jones at Superior Cage combat in 2011.

A year later, in 2012, he suffered his second loss at the hands of Zeth Martin at Tachi PF 14. His loss against Garza was the third loss of his MMA career. In his vast mixed martial art career, he has had eight victories and zero ties, which makes his scorecard 8-3-0.
