Why don't we see any fighters walk out to classical music?

Come on, tell me this doesn't pump you up.

O Fortuna would be pretty awesome.

I doubt Dana would let them.

He personally approves (or at least he used to) walkout music.

If it ain't generic mainstream rap/country/rock/metal, they'll change it.

I also remember when they forced Marcus Davis to come out to "Higher Ground" because Anthony Kiedis was Dana's personal guest at an event and Dana wanted to play kiss ass.

Because fighters like to overcompensate with alpha male crap rock or hip hop. That or come out to homoerotic tunes as a "joke".

Could be a little clockwork orangish

 

[bad seed]

such an iconic entrance. Instantly classed up an event with his appearance.

 

[Hagelslag2]

I think Jerôme le Banner used to walk out to O Fortuna in K-1.

I came out to the William Tell Overture for my last 4 or 5 kickboxing fights.

 

[The Professional]

I am fascinated by young Bob Holly's long hair.

Somebody should come out to some Yngwie Malmsteen with the Japanese Philharmonic Orchestra.

Edit: Alexander Gustafsson should come out to this...Yngwie is from Sweden too.

 

[g*r*b]

Got to admit, I'd love someone to use a bit of Mars from Holst's The Planets

 

[Ortegoat]

Doesn’t Vitor walk out to 300 violins or some shit?

Doesn’t Vitor walk out to 300 violins or some shit?

Yup

Disappointing to see “classical music” represented by either greatest hits or classical pops concert material.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

IIRC, Roman Zentsov came out to some beautiful classical sounding music when he fought Fabricio Werdum.

 

[UncleMachidaEra]

I'd come out to The Hulkster's "Real American" theme.

Nothings more classic than body slamming Andre The Giant in front of 93,000 screaming Hulkamaniacs...BROTHER!!!!!

And then...

Spoiler

I'm gonna dog paddle us all to safety
