The Walkmen: UFC on Fox 20
UFC on Fox 20 was supposed to be a showcase event for former Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s bantamweight titleholder Holly Holm. She followed her customary mode of operation -- this included the use of Blair Douglas’ “The Landlord’s Walk” as her walkout song -- but failed to net the desired result.

Outside the action that took place inside the Octagon, the music the fighters selected to accompany them into battle drew its share of attention. Eddie Wineland provided the highlight of the night, as the former World Extreme Cagefighting champion waltzed out to Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper” prior to his technical knockout victory over Frankie Saenz. Rage Against the Machine’s “Calm Like a Bomb” ushered Saenz to the cage, while co-headliner Edson Barboza settled on Oficina G3’s “Meus Proprios Meios” ahead of his showdown with Gilbert Melendez.
Other standout tracks included Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” (Bojan Mihajlovic), Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” (James Moontasri) and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” (Jim Alers).
