Sean Strickland’s Walkout Song: Which Track Did the Middleweight Champ Walk Out to?

UFC Fighters often tend to leave a mark on the audience with their uniqueness. Whether it’s the former UFC Featherweight champ, Yair Rodriguez’s acrobatic fighting style, or the noted UFC icon, Conor McGregor’s king-styled walk inside the octagon. It’s these unique features of a fighter that create a long-lasting impression on the fans. Several combatants have picked out one of their in-octagon moves as their special attribute. But a number of others choose to differ as well.

The recently concluded UFC Singapore, featured the retirement of the famed UFC Featherweight, ‘The Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung. However, it also showcased how the walkout theme of fighters can easily become one of their unique attributes. The Singapore crowd singing along to Sung Jung’s entrance theme, ‘Zombie’ by ‘The Cranberries’, formed an almost perfect scenario to bid ‘The Korean Zombie’ a last goodbye from the UFC. The current UFC Middleweight champ, Sean Strickland also chooses to make a mark with his classic walkout entrance theme that displays his patriotic feeling towards his motherland.

Which song does Sean Strickland walk out to?

A large chunk of UFC fans might know that Sung Jung’s walkout theme ‘Zombie’ is an alternative grunge rock song that came out in 1994. However, ‘The Tarzan’, chose to showcase the love for his motherland through his entrance theme. The current UFC Middleweight champ, walks out to the famous 1863 song ‘When Johnny Comes Marching Home’ by Patrick Gilmore.

‘When Johnny Comes Marching Home’ is a song that talks about the American Civil War. The ballad describes the longing for the safe return of friends and family serving their country in the war. In modern times, it is mostly perceived as a patriotic song in praise of those who don’t hesitate to lay down their lives for their country. Strickland uses an instrumental version of this song as his walkout theme.

Most UFC fans might know that Strickland often talks about how American he is. The ’32-year-old’ has also used a gum guard with the American flag on it during multiple fights. Hence, a large chunk of fans might say that his walkout theme goes quite well with his true character.

Who will Sean Strickland fight when this song plays for the next time in the UFC?

‘The Tarzan’s’ superb victory at UFC 293 chocked a large chunk of fans. Strickland was a heavy underdog coming into the fight. But, he showcased some superb attacking techniques throughout the bout and earned a unanimous decision victory to snatch the title from the former UFC Middleweight king, Israel Adesanya.

Now, he faces Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297. The fight is set to be an entertaining one, as both fighters are known for their elite striking. Moreover, the controversial rivalry between Strickland and Du Plessis has only inceased the MMA world’s anticipation for this fight. Who do you think takes the victory here?
