5 Fighter Walkouts That Get Me Giddy

PrestigeWorldwide - Rampage - Pride theme
Forrest Griffin - I'm shipping up to Boston
Bonner - Eminence Front
Rashad - survival of the fittest (mobb deep)
Cain - Los mandados

And OP you're making me feel old if you are too young to remember mike Tyson walkouts!! Phone Post

Haha no shame that in that, I'm only 18. I'm jealous I wasn't around to see them live! Phone Post

UGCTT_FryedTakayama -

Brock's entrances always got me pumped cuz you know some shit was about to go down

There definitely was something special about a Brock Lesnar entrance but for me nothing can beat the anticipation for an Anderson Silva fight. Phone Post

I love when Wanderlei walks out too sandstorm. That song went off when I was a kid at the clubs! Phone Post

Anderson
Chuck
Fedor
Lesnar
Cro Cop
and Nog

Has anybody ever walked out to angel by Massive Attack?

They should:

I'm sure someone can fill in the details but the song Franklin came into for the Anderson rematch, I remember everyone going nuts as it was his backyard and I think the song was something to do with the Bengals? Awesome anyway.

Tito UFC 40 break stuff best entrance ever . Phone Post

bennybyrnes - 5. Yoshihiro Akiyama - Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli: "Time to Say Goodbye”

http://www.youtube.com/watch feature=player_embedded&v=HaDxk4XadC4

Providing you can overcome the thought of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, this just might be the most beautiful song/walkout music of all time. If you were trying to figure out a walkout song, there is a good chance this would be the last one your list yet it works so perfectly well for Yoshihiro Akiyama effectively encapsulating the Japanese relaxed and respectful spirit of MMA.

4. Michael Bisping – Blur: “Song 2”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSbBvKaM6sk

Holy Bisping Vs Belfort! Whether you love Michael Bisping, hate Michael Bisping, sitting in the stands or sitting on the couch at home it’s pretty much impossible to not get caught up in the excitement as he enters the arena to “Song 2” by Blur. From the opening riff to the eventual trademark “Whohoo!” you’ll find your body making involuntary head bops and fist pumps, don’t fight it simply let yourself be overwhelmed by the excitement.

3. Jim Miller – Creedence Clearwater Revival: “Bad Moon Rising”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BmEGm-mraE

Who else is there for Jim Miller, the blue collar cage fighter from New Jersey to make his entrance to but Creedence Clearwater Revival? As those opening chords of “Bad Moon Rising” start you can’t help but start smiling in anticipation for what will inevitably be an extraordinary display of all aspects of Mixed Martial Arts. Anyone remember that fight of the year less than two weeks ago?

2. Bj Penn - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole: “E ala E”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BqZPLNoaos

Bj Penn is one of the greatest lightweights of all time and undoubtedly a future hall of famer, when you hear the soulful sounds of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and that soft acoustic strumming, you find yourself captivated in the intensity and Hawaiian spirit as he makes that familiar stroll to the octagon.

1. Anderson Silva – DMX “Ain’t No Sunshine”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfCEpLtwH-0

My father often tells me stories of himself as a young adult sitting at the TV waiting in anticipation for a Mike Tyson execution, he explained to me the process of Mike’s walk to the ring and the utter intensity and determination he carried with him. Mike Tyson is a combat sports icon and I believe one day I will be telling my own kids stories of Anderson Silva, carrying that very similar nostalgia in respect to the greatest mixed martial artist of our time. “It's dark and hell is hot Ain't no sunshine when it's on” As Anderson Silva steps into the cage, you truly know you’re in for something historic and magical.

If anyone else has any entrance songs of fighters they would like to share, I would love to hear it!

Just gotta correct ya, the lyrics to Aint no sunshine are "ain't no sunshine when she's gone" not "when it's on" Phone Post

My bad, just listened and you're right. Phone Post

Is it me,
Or is it getting a little cold in here?

Any of Fedor's walkouts are epic as hell; Pride 32 and his walkout vs Ogawa come to mind.

Also, Melvin Manhoef's entrances with Mike. His entrance on New Years was really cool, check it out if you guys haven't seen it.

Nick Diaz coming out to this song(written about Vitor Belfort's wife)

So many awesome pride entrances, I miss that Japanese aspect of MMA Phone Post

The one where he danced? I didn't get it.

But I do love the ones where Mike has him chained with a spiked dog collar and then let's him off the chain. Those are bad ass Phone Post

I was giddy watching Honda walkout to Bad Reputation by Joan Jett And The Blackhearts

Willybone - 


Genki = FUCKING ROCK SHOW


I love when Diaz walks out to the Deftones, but Genki is easily the GOAT of ring entrances in all of combat sports ever.

for example...

Yeah they really knew how to make a big impact with the walkouts. Fedor's @ pride 32 for instance: the way the stage spun around and had the blue lights and the fake snow to give this 'cold war' feeling, like Fedor just walked to the stage str8 from Russia or something lol.

 

honorable mention to Akihiro Gono.

Haha that's why i liked it because it started so different from how he usually walks out. Had that old-school violin song and he starts dancing, then halfway down the ramp the music changes to a siren going off and he starts bouncing and Mike starts yelling @ him and pumping him up (he also has done it with Badr Hari in some of his K-1 fights) like he usually does.



But yeah I gotta agree the spiked dog collar entrance is fitting for Melvin for sure lol he's a beast.

Also wanted to mention Randy's entrance when he came out of retirement to fight Sylvia. I remember he came out to ''Back in Black" by AC/DC and as he got closer to the cage you just see the smile on Randy's face get bigger and bigger; you could just tell he missed being in the cage and having everyone cheer him on.

Also, any of Sakuraba's entrances with his crazy masks were really cool and unique; you always wondered what he was gonna come out with.
