The Ultimate Fighting Championship returned to Brazil on Saturday with an event loaded with local talent and a former world champion. As expected, the copious amount of music that the fighters used to stroll to the Octagon was as varied as they are.
Other standout tracks of the night were the Suryoyo Football song (David Teymur); “Don’t Stop Me Now” by the mighty Queen -- though a live version with Adam Lambert as the vocalist -- thanks to Junior Albini; “Let Me Clear My Throat” by DJ Cool (Ricardo Ramos); and even though it’s long in the tooth and cliché, Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” (Thiago Alves).
