The UFC returns to the desert oasis of Abu Dhabi again to throw some of the biggest fights on its cards. The promotion has been hosting some of its most exciting events outside of the US in recent times, and UFC Abu Dhabi might be one of them. Headlining the event is Khabib Nurmagomedov’s cousin Umar Nurmagomedov against Cory Sandhagen. The event’s co-main will feature ‘The Pirate’ Shara Magomedov going against Michal Oleksiejczuk.

That’s not all as Marlon Vera is set to dance against Deiveson Figueiredo in the bantamweight division. Well, the cherry on the top is Khabib Nurmagomedov’s presence in Umar’s corner. Ahead of the clash, let us have a look at the walkout songs of such fighters.

Well, enough about their statistics, let us have a look at their walkout songs. When it comes to Cory Sandhagen, ‘The Sandman’, has been using the energetic beats of ‘Gimmie The Loot’ by Legendary Notorious B.I.G as his walkout song for quite some time. However, in his last fight against Rob Font, Sandhagen made a change to his music and used the calming tunes of ‘Fly like an Eagle’ by Seal as his walkout song.

On the other hand, Umar Nurmagomedov is a bit more disciplined when it comes to choosing and using a single tune. The Undefeated Fighter has maintained a musical tradition in all of his fights and what’s that? Well, its use uses the lively beats of ‘Georgian Dance Music’ by Mtiuluri Xevsuruli Texili.

UFC Abu Dhabi would witness some of the most brutal fighters throwing down their hands at each other. Starting from the prelims to the headliners, the event is filled with either knockout or submission specialists. Headlining the event would be the undefeated Umar Nurmagomedov against the Cory ‘Sandman’ Sandhagen.

This clash would be Nurmagomedov’s first ranked fight in the division and way too many things would be at stake as his cousin the former lightweight champion of the world, Khabib Nurmagomedov would be cornering him. Well, now that we know about the walkout songs of the headliners, let’s have a look at other fighters.

Walkout songs of Tony Ferguson, Sharapudtin Magomedov, Mackenzie Dern, and others

With an unblemished record of 2 victories and 0 defeats in the UFC, Sharapudtin Magomedov is one of the most interesting fighters in the division, who uses his impressive Muay Thai skills as his first base. The fighter will be locking his horns against Michal Oleksiejczuk in his third fight. ‘Shara Bullet’ entered the Octagon with a classic tune of  ‘Legendary 2’ by Tupac Shakur on his promotional debut and it’s highly likely that he will be using the same tune once again.

Interestingly, this event might be the last fight for Tony Ferguson, who is riding a seven-fight losing streak. ‘El Cuccy’ has been using ‘The Party Has Just Begun’ by freestyle track for quite some time for his bouts and this time as well, he will be using this to turn his bad luck against Michael Chiesa at the welterweight bout. His opponent on the other hand will be using, ‘Stranglehold’ by Ted Naught as his walkout song. Mackenzie Dern will be using, ‘Righteous’ by Hippie Sabotage as her walkout song.
