UFC 300 walkout songs: UFC 300: Walkout songs Alex Pereira, Jamahal Hill, Justin Gaethje, and others have used before

UFC 300 is finally upon us, scheduled for April 13 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Featuring three title fights and a star-studded card filled to the brim with some of the most celebrated names in the sport, including an impressive roster of 13 current and former world champions.

In the main event, Alex Pereira is gearing up to defend his light heavyweight championship against former titleholder Jamahal Hill. The momentous pay-per-view (PPV) event marks the Brazilian's first defense of the 205-pound title, with Hill setting his sights on reclaiming the belt he voluntarily relinquished.

'Poatan' has made waves in the UFC, solidifying his place in the annals of history by becoming the quickest fighter to attain two division championships in only seven bouts. Following a hard-fought split-decision victory against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 291 in July, Pereira seized the vacant light heavyweight title with a second-round TKO triumph over Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295 last November.

Meanwhile, Hill defeated Pereira's mentor, Glover Teixeira, at UFC 283 in January 2023 to capture the then-vacant 205-pound title previously held by Prochazka. However, 'Sweet Dreams' was forced to vacate the championship last July following an Achilles tendon tear sustained during a basketball game.

In the co-main event of UFC 300, reigning strawweight champion Zhang Weili is preparing for her second title defense since reclaiming the championship as she faces off against compatriot Yan Xiaonan.

'Magnum' is riding the momentum of a commanding unanimous decision victory over Amanda Lemos at UFC 292 in August. Conversely, Xiaonan squared off against Jessica Andrade in her most recent bout, securing a unanimous decision win at UFC 288.

Another high-profile showdown on the UFC 300 lineup showcases Justin Gaethje squaring off against Max Holloway for the honorary 'BMF' title in the lightweight division. 'The Highlight' claimed the title with a head-kick knockout of Dustin Poirier at UFC 291 last July. On the other hand, Holloway enters the bout off a knockout victory over Chan Sung Jung 'The Korean Zombie' at UFC Singapore in August 2023.

The UFC has curated an impressive lineup of matchups for its premier PPV events of the year. An integral component of these highly anticipated occasions is the fighter entrances, serving as the initial spectacle that sets the tone for each bout and holds a crucial role in engaging the audience's interest.

Ahead of UFC 300, the walkout songs for the fighters are still under wraps. However, we can delve into the tunes previously selected by some of the athletes featured on the card.

The reigning 'BMF' titleholder is anticipated to enter the arena to the tune of 'Fallen Kings' by Tribal Seeds. The same anthem accompanied his walkout in his previous clash with Dustin Poirier. Alternatively, 'The Highlight' might opt for 'Ready' by Alborosie feat. Jo Mersa Marley, a song that resonated with his victory over Rafael Fiziev.

Meanwhile, Max Holloway, holding a 21-7 octagon record, ventures into the lightweight division for the second time in his illustrious UFC career. The former featherweight champion has maintained a tradition of entering the arena to a mix of 'Running Up That Hill' by Kate Bush and 'Hawaiian Kickboxer' by Moke Boy for an extended period. It is anticipated that 'Blessed' will continue with this iconic walkout soundtrack.

Tsarukyan arrives at the matchup with a three-fight winning streak, eyeing a potential ascent into the title picture with a triumph over the Brazilian.
