For the first time ever, mixed martial arts fans in Wichita, Kansas, were able to watch not only live action inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s famed Octagon, they got to listen to the fighters’ various selections of walkout music.
Other standout tracks of the event were “The Final Countdown” from Europe (Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos); “This is How We Do It” from Montell Jordan (Drew Dober); the iconic “Bad to the Bone” from George Thorogood and the Destroyers (Anthony Rocco Martin); and the amazingly haunting “Gimme Shelter” from The Rolling Stones (Zak Ottow).
