UFC 116 Fighter Walkout Music

Still reeling from one of the best UFC events so far this year, here’s a recap of the walkout tunes that pumped up the main card’s competitors at UFC 116. As usual, the music of choice varied among competitors, including everything from heavy metal, to hip-hop and even a bit of classical, as witnessed during Yoshihiro Akiyama’s epic entrance to the Octagon.

Let’s be honest, there’s nothing quite like a good old fashioned walkout, mixing great music with the latest walkout gear to truly set the tone for a pending barnburner inside the cage. With that in mind, it’s time to recap some of the entrance theme songs heard at UFC 116.
