Everyone knowz that if you want to win your fight you come out to this song




"Face your Fear Accept your War... It is what it is."

I worked at a m&m factory but got fired for throwing out all the w's

Holy shit the curse is real.

I'm not trying to sugar coat the fact that you got fired, but
Why didn't you eat them?

DMX is on my shortlist, along with AC/DC, and Pregador Luo. There are others too.

Id be interested to see what the records for disturbed would be. Perfect music to get you ready to fight.

When you walk out to a Nickelback song you don't only lose in the octagon, you lose in life.

This is a culmination of my work with the UFC Entrance Music and Fight Result database that I have put together. I released a version of the Eminem Curse in 2012, but gathered a lot more data since then.

To those of you unfamiliar, for years, there has been speculation that UFC fighters walkout out to an Eminem song have lost. I wanted to put that curse to the test.

There have been 108 recorded walkouts using Eminem songs so far, and this is the spreadsheet holding it all.

Currently, the Eminem Curse stands at 50-57-1, with fighters using Eminem songs winning 46.3% of their fights.

There has been one fight where two fighters used an Eminem song, and it was a very close split decision FOTN performance. They beat the brakes off of each other. It was Jeremy Stephens vs Sam Stout at UFC 133, where Stephens used the Drake song featuring Eminem called Forever, and Stout used Eminem's Go to Sleep.

[NoContest]

Maybe we can get a computer program to do this work for us because now I'm curious about all music stats. Which bands/songs have the best and worst records?

 

[Dart Feld]

Commendable work, I hope all of my favs. avoid that bad mojo.
