10 best walkout songs in UFC history

#9: Jose Aldo – Run This Town by Jay Z featuring Rihanna

Interestingly enough, legendary former UFC Featherweight champion Jose Aldo actually selected Jay Z’s Run This Town for a specific reason back in 2010, at WEC 48. Faced with the challenge of Urijah Faber, in Faber’s hometown of Sacramento, California, Aldo choosing Run This Town sent a pretty clear message to everyone – and in the cage, he proved that for one night at least, Sacramento belonged to him.

Aldo clearly liked the walkout track so much that he ended up sticking with it for the 13 fights that followed that 2010 victory, both in the WEC and then in the UFC too. And every time the lights dimmed and the song began to play, it usually meant one thing; that wherever Aldo was fighting, whether it was at home in Rio de Janeiro, or somewhere like Newark or Las Vegas, the town was his for the night.
