The Ultimate Fighting Championship returned to Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, for a special Wednesday night fight card anchored by a pair of light heavyweight vying for another crack at reigning champ Jon Jones. Anthony Smith took on Glover Teixeira in a pivotal 205-pound showdown where the loser of the match would likely be left out in the cold indefinitely.
Smith opted to walk down to the Octagon in front of a few people inside the empty arena to the rumblings of “Return of the Mack” from Mark Morrison. Teixeira, meanwhile, chose one of the most popular rock songs of the 1980s as he came out combat to Guns N’ Roses iconic “Welcome to the Jungle.
Other standout tracks of the night were Anton Coppola’s “Vampire Hunters” (Ben Rothwell); the late, great 2Pac’s “When We Ride on Our Enemies” (Michael Johnson) and Sarah Moras came out to Frank Turner’s “Photosynthesis.”
