UFC Louisville walkouts: UFC Louisville walkout songs: Tracks Jared Cannonier and Nassourdine Imavov have used before

UFC Louisville is slated to take place at the KFC Yum! Center in Kentucky this weekend. The Fight Night event marks the MMA promotion's second visit to the 'Derby City' since UFC: Fight for the Troops 3 in November 2013.

In the main event, Jared Cannonier is set to fight Nassourdine Imavov in a middleweight showdown. 'The Killa Gorilla' is staging a comeback after a knee injury following a decisive unanimous decision victory over Marvin Vettori last June. Meanwhile, Imavov will be looking to build on his hard-fought majority decision win over Roman Dolidze at UFC Vegas 85 this past February.

Cannonier aims to extend his current two-fight winning streak. He boasts a notable victory over former champion Sean Strickland and has only suffered middleweight defeats to elite competitors in Robert Whittaker at UFC 254 and Israel Adesanya at UFC 276.

Despite his dominant presence in the 185-pound division, the 40-year-old American has struggled to maintain a long winning streak, never surpassing three consecutive victories.

On the other hand, 'The Sniper' experienced a challenging last year, starting with a disappointing loss to Strickland on short notice. His fight against Chris Curtis at UFC 289 was also cut short due to an accidental clash of heads.

Prior to these setbacks, Imavov was on a promising three-fight winning streak, securing victories over notable opponents such as Joaquin Buckley and Edmen Shahbazyan.

In the co-main event of UFC Louisville, former title contender Dominick Reyes is slated to face Dustin Jacoby in a light heavyweight showdown.

'The Devastator' is currently enduring a tough four-fight losing streak that began with a contentious unanimous decision loss to former 205-pound champion Jon Jones at UFC 247 in February 2020. This was followed by three successive knockout defeats against Jan Blachowicz, Jiri Prochazka, and most recently Ryan Spann at UFC 281. Before this challenging stretch, he was on an impressive six-fight winning streak.

Meanwhile, Jacoby is set to enter the octagon following a unanimous decision loss to Alonzo Menifield at UFC 296 last December. 'The Hanyak' is currently navigating a difficult phase in his career, having secured only one victory in his last four fights. His recent losses include against Khalil Rountree and Azamat Murzakanov.

Although the UFC Louisville card might not appear enticing at first glance, the UFC has crafted an impressive lineup of fights. The event features a diverse mix of matchups, highlighting both seasoned veterans and promising up-and-coming prospects.

A crucial element of an electrifying fight card is the fighter entrances, which dramatically enhance the atmosphere before each bout and are instrumental in capturing the audience's attention.
