by

Summary

  • “One of a Kind” by Old Friends is a positive song for unique fighters in UFC 5.
  • “2Fast” by Goon Des Garcons is perfect for intense fighters chasing success.
  • “TE EXTRAÑO” by Warner Chappell is a melodic Latin Pop choice for chill themes.

As a dedicated UFC enthusiast, I can’t help but express my excitement about EA’s UFC 5, the newest addition to the series that lets me step into the Octagon as my favorite cage fighter. With an array of techniques, combos, and mixed martial arts styles at my disposal, I’m ready to outwit my opponents in epic battles. The latest version has brought refinements to the combat system, along with the reintroduction of cherished features such as create-a-fighter and career mode.

As a devoted UFC enthusiast, you might often ponder: “Which walkout anthem should I pick?” Not every walkout tune can be Mike Perry’s “Halo,” and it may disappoint fans to find their beloved fighter’s official walkout song missing from the collection of 340 tracks. To alleviate this issue, here’s a curated list that showcases the finest tunes in the soundtrack, ensuring gamers can confidently stride into battle with an unforgettable theme.

This ranking is based on both the song’s quality and its fitting association with the fighter. Keep in mind that some fighters share songs, but only one will be highlighted here. For instance, Amir Albazi and Arman Tsarukyan share the walkout song “Melegim” by Cankat Guenel. In such cases, I’ve selected just one of these combatants to represent the track.

Here are a few additional tracks from the soundtrack that you might want to check out: “Prodigy” by Chika, “AM To PM” by Bakey and Capo Lee, “Say Less” by Swizz Beats, and “Blood On My Hands” by Konrad OldMoney. These songs didn’t make it onto the main list but are definitely worth a listen.

10. “One of a Kind” by Old Friends

Cory Sandhagen

  • Genre: Hip-Hop
  • Unofficial Walkout

Cory Sandhagen is one of the top five bantamweight fighters in the promotion, known for his entrance music. Instead of choosing a hardcore rap like “Gimmie The Loot” by Notorious B.I.G, which reflects a gritty and aggressive persona, he opts for the upbeat and optimistic indie hip-hop track “One of a Kind.

This tune celebrates individuality, promotes optimism, and encourages ignoring negativity. It’s an excellent pick for a creatively crafted fighter. Its uplifting vibe sets it apart from other tracks in the playlist. Yet, it contrasts sharply with Sandhagen’s usual walkout style, as his official entrance is quite different.

9. “2Fast” by Goon Des Garcons*

Arnold Allen

  • Genre: Hip-Hop
  • Unofficial Walkout

As a gamer, I’m embodying the character of Arnold Allen, a top-tier featherweight fighter hailing from the UK. Just like in real life, when I step into the virtual octagon in UFC 5, I’ve got “2Fast” by Goon Des Garcons blasting through my speakers. This post-modern rap track from Arkansas is a perfect fit for me with its aggressive beats and electronic undertones that fuel my in-game intensity.

This tune is all about thriving on the precipice, never letting up, and aiming for greatness. It resonates with numerous MMA enthusiasts who risk their wellbeing in pursuit of acclaim. Unlike Allen’s traditional walkout, this track carries a confident and rapid tempo that would fit any fighter perfectly.

8. “In The Beginning” by The Remaining Part

Davidson Figueredo

  • Genre: Ballad; Electronic
  • Unofficial Walkout

This captivating, enigmatic, and slow-paced ballad serves as a refreshing change in the predominantly rap-driven soundtrack of UFC 5. It’s an ideal choice for gamers who prefer music that isn’t hip-hop or have a taste for less intense tracks. Unlike other times, Deiveson Figueiredo doesn’t typically choose a walkout song. However, he has walked out to several songs, most notably “Voando Pro Pará” by Brazilian singer Joelma. This choice represents a significant shift for the fighter, as it’s not a traditional Brazilian or carimbó song. Yet, it still makes for a fantastic orchestral ballad for custom fighters.

7. “TACA FOGO” by Warner Chappell Production Music

Jailton Almeida

  • Genre: Rap/Trap
  • Unofficial Walkout

This upbeat Brazilian rap track boasts a tempo of 150 bpm and incorporates trap influences. The lyrics feature forceful vocals, rhythmic violence in the beats, and robust synths that collectively generate an electrifying ambiance. Notably, it bears resemblance to Léo Santana’s “Posturado e Calmo,” which is Almeida’s signature walkout song. Both tunes showcase Almeida’s Brazilian roots and have the power to energize a vast crowd of spectators. For fighters aiming to establish a commanding presence in the ring, this track serves as an ideal walkout soundtrack.

6. “TE EXTRAÑO” by Warner Chappell Production Music

Tracy Cortez

  • Genre: Latin Pop; Ballad
  • Unofficial Walkout

A woman ranked among the top ten flyweight contenders in women’s MMA, Cortez enters the ring to the tune of “Como la Flor” by Selena Quintanilla, reflecting her Mexican roots. So, what could be a more appropriate alternative than a Latin Pop track? The song “TE EXTRAÑO” (I Miss You) is a sensual and emotional ballad that incorporates various instruments like percussion, drums, piano, acoustic and electric guitar, as well as synthesizer elements. It serves as an ideal choice for athletes seeking a relaxed theme to make their mark in the sport.

5. “Kendrick, Clae & Cole” by Marqus Clae

Leon Edwards

  • Genre: Lyrical/Conscious Rap
  • Unofficial Walkout

In an informal capacity, the track “Kendrick, Clae, & Cole” is often associated with the exit song for Leon Edwards, a previous welterweight champion. This tune has been frequently played and well-liked by fans, even making it into EA games such as Madden 24. The song is a form of conscious rap that showcases clever lyricism, and includes an impressive sample from “Summer” by Millie Jackson. It narrates Clae’s personal struggles and ambition to be recognized among the greats while surpassing his competitors.

In much the same way, Edwards was an underdog in the welterweight division, finding it difficult to make an impact amidst flamboyant personalities, and being written off by many before pulling off an impressive head kick KO against Usman. However, a dance hall tune like “Shabba Madda Pot” by Dexta Daps, or a British rap song, could have more effectively represented Edwards’s British Jamaican roots during his walkout.

4. “Bad Man Lighter 2.0” by Seun Kuti & Black Thought

Kamaru Usman

  • Genre: Afrobeat; Hip-Hop
  • Unofficial Walkout

In terms of his walkout music, Usman has been inconsistent in the past. But for UFC 294, he chose Rick Ross and Meek Mill’s track “Shaq and Kobe.” Interestingly, at UFC 5, two former champions walked out to Seun Kuti and Black Thought’s “Badman Lighter 2.0,” a rap song with distinct jazz influences, featuring the use of saxophone and trumpets.

Kuti and Black Thought rap about the hardships of being marginalized, calling for unity, strength, and resistance against neocolonialism in Africa. The “Badman Lighter” symbolizes standing up against oppressors and sparking a rebellion. This song suits Usman well because he often listens to Afrobeats and Hip-Hop music. It’s a powerful, rebellious tune that will motivate gamers as they make their way to the fighting arena.

3. “Porsche Topless” by Kid Cudi

Tyron Woodley

  • Genre: Pop Rap
  • Unofficial walkout

The “Porsche Topless” track, hailing from Kid Cudi’s ninth solo album, “Insano“, is a lively, cheerful anthem for parties. In this song, Kid Cudi raps about his extravagant lifestyle, contrasting starkly with the serious, Christian rap tune, “I Ain’t Turning Back” by Thi’sl, which was used as the former welterweight champ’s walkout music in a previous promotion.

Woodley displays a diverse music preference, as he made a bold entrance to his own boastful track “I’ll Beat Yo A” (Feat. Wiz Khalifa & T-Dubb-O) during his press conference against Jake Paul. This electrifying song choice is one that fans might want to consider for their own fighters as well.

2. “Pandemonium” by NF

Micheal Chandler

  • Genre: Conscious Rap
  • Unofficial walkout

In UFC 5, the song “Pandemonium” by NF serves as an unofficial walkout anthem, addressing the artist’s hiatus from rapping and his fans’ doubts. Similarly, when Michael Chandler returns to the octagon after a long layoff, waiting for Connor McGregor, he will have to address similar issues of confidence among his fans. Interestingly, Chandler previously walked out to an unreleased NF song, and NF’s music complements the intense and energetic fights in the UFC. “Pandemonium” is one of the standout tracks on UFC 5’s soundtrack and is ideal for an underdog or a fighter who is bold and unapologetic.

1. “Down Under” by Men at Work

Alexander Volkanovski

  • Genre: New Wave; Pop Rock
  • Official Walkout

Without a doubt, the tune “Down Under” by Men at Work has become one of the most renowned walkout songs in sports history, strongly associated with the Australian spirit embodied by former featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. This widely acknowledged Australian anthem blends New Wave and Pop Rock, creating a lively mix that can excite fans or gamers alike. Its infectious melody, rhythmic instruments, and synth elements make it an ideal upbeat song, perfect for boosting anyone’s energy. There’s no question that this is a top choice for any fictional fighter, particularly Australian mixed martial artists.
