In this blogpost we will discuss about Dana White’s revelations about how they pick walkout music at the UFC.
Walkout music plays a crucial role in setting the tone and establishing the identity of fighters in the UFC. In a podcast on Theo Von’s YouTube channel, UFC President Dana White revealed the process behind selecting walkout music for fighters.
Interestingly, White mentioned that many fighters, especially in their early days, don’t really care about their walkout music. As a result, Dana had to step in and choose the song for them. However, he believes that walkout songs are essential for fighters to establish their own identity.
According to Dana, AC/DC music is always a safe choice for walkout music. He even mentioned that if he had to choose his own walkout music, he would go with AC/DC’s “Back in Black” or “For Those About to Rock.” The power and energy of AC/DC’s music perfectly align with the intensity of the UFC.
Throughout UFC history, there have been several iconic walkout moments. One such example is Conor McGregor’s walkout in UFC 189, where the famous Irish singer Sinead O’Connor performed live. Another memorable walkout was by Khabib Nurmagomedov, with his walkout song at UFC 229 vs Conor McGregor, sung by Russian singer Sabina. And who can forget Israel Adesanya’s entrance at UFC 276, accompanied by the Undertaker’s iconic WWE walkout song? These moments demonstrate how walkout songs can leave a lasting impact and become part of UFC history.
In conclusion, walkout songs hold immense significance in the UFC. They have the power to set the mood before a fight and define a fighter’s identity. Whether it’s the choice of AC/DC’s timeless rock music or a unique collaboration with a renowned artist, walkout music adds an extra layer of excitement to the already thrilling world of UFC.
