The Walkmen: UFC 206 ‘Holloway vs. Pettis’

Mike SloanDec 12, 2016

UFC 206 on Saturday at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto featured a “Fight of the Year” contender between Cub Swanson and Doo Ho Choi, along with a pair of sensational head kick knockouts from Donald Cerrone and Lando Vannata.

All of it was enhanced by the killer musical tracks that ushered the fighters to the Octagon. Cerrone went with his customary “Cowboy” theme from Kid Rock, while Brown used Jamie Jasta’s “I am the Immortal” ahead of the co-main event. Further down the card, Swanson opted to go with Joey Basa$$’s “Devastated” prior to his unforgettable three-round war with Choi. John Williams’ “Superman Theme” brought the South Korean prospect to the cage.

Not to be outdone, Max Holloway chose Drake’s “Legend” and Moki Boy’s “Hawaiian Kickboxer” in advance of his main event with Anthony Pettis, as he stopped the Roufusport star with third-round punches to claim the interim Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight crown. Jim Jones and Tum Tum’s “Showtime” trumpeted Pettis’ arrival.

Other standout cuts included Alice in Chains’ “Rooster” (Tim Kennedy), Carl Douglas’ “Kung Fu Fighting” (Jason Saggo), Red Rider’s “Lunatic Fringe” (Matthew Lopez), Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing” (Drew Dober), Johnny Cash’s “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” (Dustin Ortiz) and James Brown’s “People Get Up and Drive Your Funky Soul” (Kelvin Gastelum).
