The Walkmen: UFC Fight Night 145
UFC Fight Night 145 on Saturday saw the Ultimate Fighting Championship take over Prague, and the assortment of music was as eclectic as Liberace’s wardrobe. The fighters all hailed from different parts of the globe, and the choices in walkout tunes ranged from rock and hip-hop to rap, metal and everything in between.
The headliner saw Jan Blachowicz lock horns with fellow light heavyweight contender Thiago Santos in a pivotal matchup at 205 pounds. Poland’s Blachowicz opted to walk to the Octagon to Ivan Mladek’s “Jozin Z Bazin” -- a song that has not exactly garnered a ton of airtime in America. The same can largely be said for Santos’ choice, as the Brazilian walked out to MC Isaac Saradinho’s “Marretta Da CCD Para O Mundo” once again.
Other standout tracks of the night included Billy Joel’s “The Downeaster Alexa” (Gian Villante), Five Finger Death Punch’s “Wrong Side of Heaven” (Lucie Pudilova), hip-hop icon DMX’s “The Rain” (Petr Yan), Djigitovka’s “Lezingka” (Magomed Ankalaev) and Queen’s “Gimme the Prize” (Stefan Struve).
