Booker T Makes Surprise Appearance at UFC Houston

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T just made a surprise crossover appearance — this time at UFC Houston.

While WWE stars have been popping up at major UFC events over the past year, the latest moment happened on February 21, 2026, when TNT Sports took to Facebook and revealed that Booker T was in attendance at the Toyota Center for UFC Houston. During the broadcast, a commentator acknowledged the WWE legend sitting cageside: “Booker T, the WWE Hall of Famer, with us here inside the Toyota Center.”

Booker T looked right at home, smiling, waving to the camera, and even showing off his WWE Hall of Fame rings for viewers. It was clear the legend was having a great time at the show.

UFC Houston turned into a memorable night in its own right. In the main event, Strickland defeated Anthony Hernandez in the third round, while Uroš Medić scored a first-round knockout victory over Geoff Neal.

With WWE and UFC operating under the TKO banner, crossover appearances between the two worlds continue to happen more frequently. Styles previously hyped up UFC 320 at the T-Mobile Arena, and now Booker T has added his name to the list of WWE names showing up at major UFC events.
