Havent seen a thread like this before so I thought why not

This is probably my favourite!

also a big fan of chads, and liked conors before it was cut back to just sinead, Pendred killed it at 189 aswel coming out to put em under pressure :P

Shogun would be my fave

Jones is pretty unreal, so is Conors hypnotize. Also love Poirers.

Talking of walk out songs the funniest story i've ever heard was about Rory Macdonald. He changed his number in Canada and for some reason the way it works over there is the number is then recycled and given to someone else.

His old number ended up with a 'fan' of his, The guy in charge of the walkout songs texted 'Rory' (on the old number) before many events asking what he wanted, so this new imposter chose some really bizarre and obscure stuff.

It only came to light during one event, a few days before the UFC guy approached Rory and told him they couldn't use the song he'd chose (for licensing reasons or whatever), Rory didn't have a breeze what he was on about :pac::pac:

'We Found Love' by Rihanna and Calvin Harris for UFC 167. Amazing! :pac:

The rest of the songs aren't that bad for walkout tunes in all honesty. The imposter could/should have done a lot more damage. :pac:

ronda

She looks like she is always in the zone

Simply Red · 21-09-2015 8:45pm

Always liked John Fitch's entrance to Rusty Cage, love the timing at the end where he always enters the cage to the instrumental part

Swashbuckler · 21-09-2015 10:20pm

Nick Diaz. Deftones - felicitera. Love it. Badass.

On joe rogan podcast about a year ago.

The best walkout I think ive seen is robbie lawlor against mcdonald. Song/his calmness was deadly

Devastator · 21-09-2015 11:06pm

As a 1 off, its hard to beat James te Huna. THis was from a fight night, so they cut to adverts during the walkins and many people missed this.

Also an honourable mention for flithy Tom Lawlor for his costumes....can't recall what music he used.

Paully D · 21-09-2015 11:46pm

My favourite walkout songs are generally the bangers, but I'd agree with 'finglashoop' re: Robbie vs Rory with Hold On, I'm Comin'. That's definitely right up there. Weidman's usually good with Tom Petty's 'Won't Back Down' also.

It seems 'we found love' he picked himself :pac:

I'd love to see the video of 'Cant touch this'

mdwexford · 22-09-2015 12:16am

Rondas is class, suits her perfectly.

Love Andersons as well.

Roar · 22-09-2015 6:54am

Frankie Edgar for the absolute win.

Cro Cop would be up there for me!

Hoki · 22-09-2015 12:23pm

Tom Petty - Won't back down for Chris Weidmans walk out always gets me nodding the head . Big fan of benson hendersons as well - Awesome God by R- swift.

callaway92 · 22-09-2015 3:25pm

Jeremy Stephens coming out to Real Muthaphuckin' G by Eazy E was pretty damn sick.

scudzilla · 22-09-2015 8:51pm

Always had a soft spot for Forrest Griffin using 'Shipping up to Boston', when he walked into that in Belfast place went nuts, also it means a lot as my wifey walked down the aisle to that song

collybyrne · 23-09-2015 10:53am

Rich Franklin with "For Those About to Rock" is my personal favourite.

Does anyone know if "Hells Bells" was used by anyone on a regular basis? Always thought it would make an unreal walkout tune. Although I suppose the start might be confused with The Undertakers music from WWE!
