Randy Orton, known for his early WWE days of rebellious antics and controversial behavior, is a much different person right now. That was on full display during UFC Fight Night this week, as he shared a wholesome interaction with a UFC fighter.
Randy Orton made a trip to St. Louis, Missouri to catch the action at UFC on ESPN: Lewis vs Nascimento. The renowned wrestler made a brief appearance on-screen during the event and fans were happy about that as well.
In one of the evening’s key matchups, Joaquin Buckley faced Nursulton Ruziboev in a Welterweight bout. Buckley emerged triumphant, securing the win through a unanimous decision.
After the match, Buckley left the octagon and hurried through the crowd to embrace Randy Orton. The two exchanged words before Buckley returned to the octagon. Needless to say, fans absolutely loved this wholesome interaction for good reason.
Randy Orton is set to face off against Carmelo Hayes in the second round of the King of The Ring tournament on next week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, so we’ll have to wait and see who will prevail in the bout.
