Why does the UFC change some fighters' walkout songs in Fight Pass replays?

[pThree]

So I was rewatching the Cain vs Ngannou card on Fight Pass just then, and Ngannou walked out to some random rock n roll song, and I was incredibly confused because I distinctly remember watching that fight live and Francis walking out to All eyez on me by Tupac.

I thought this could've been a Mandela effect until I watched the replay on another site and I was right, he did walk out to Tupac.

Why would the UFC dub a different song over a fighter's walkout?

 

[Steve-French]

Because the don't have the rights to the song.

Ah ok, but in that case shouldn't the fighters be banned from walking out to copyrighted songs as well?

A separate contract/licensing agreement must be negotiated for rebroadcasts and DVD production.

No, I was just curious

Get that stick out of your ass before flip you upside down and remove it myself

They also used to do the same on UFC DVD's back in the days when DVD's were the thing and there was no digital

They often would cut the fighters entrance music on the DVDs and replace it with something very generic without voices.

Do some research.

TS getting dunked on for not having this elementary school knowledge

It’s funny because when the commentators start talking you can usually hear the actual walkout in the background lol

Asking sherdog is the highest level of research there is.

No, because you resorted to threats of violence, you automatically lose.

 

[Berkowitz]

It is common knowledge that Ngannou is a huge AC/DC fan.

Is removing a stick technically violence?

horse shoe, sure, but stick?

Yea they need to do something about this. Recently went through all of Anderson's fights and it really takes you out of it when he comes out dancing to some band that sounds like Drowning Pool
