UFC 298, the second PPV card of 2024, is finally here. They have curated an impressive lineup of fights, including a championship headliner and showcasing top talents from across the world. An integral part of an electrifying fight card is the fighter entrances. It will feature the much-awaited clash between featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and his undefeated, dangerous opponent, Ilia Topuria. Barely four months after ‘Volk’ took the worst loss of his life by getting head-kick knocked out by Islam Makhachev at UFC 294 last year, he is back.

An exciting middleweight clash between former champion Robert Whittaker and fan-favorite #6 ranked Paulo Costa to determine the future course of the 180-pound division will serve as the co-main event. The event will also see #2 ranked bantamweight Merab Dvalishvili take on Olympic gold medalist and former two-division champion Henry Cejudo in a virtual no. 1 title contender bout.

Which songs will UFC 298 main and co-main event fighters walk out to?

With an impeccable 13-0 record in the 145-pound division, Alexander Volkanovski consistently reflects his Australian heritage through his music selection. Alexander is expected to walk out to the 1981 Australian pop rock classic ‘Down Under’ by the band Men at Work. Although the champion used to walk out to a violin cover of the Game of Thrones HBO series soundtrack, he has changed his song choice to the former after becoming champion.

Ilia Topuria, boasting a 6-0 UFC record, on the other hand, has walked out to many different songs in his six fights in the UFC so far, including ‘MIB’ by Myke Towers, Fronteamos Porque Podemos’ by De La Ghetto, and Yazbeguri’s ‘Remix’. However, for the most important fight of his life against Volkanovski, he is likely to walk out to the song Love Tonight’ by Shouse (Vintage Culture & Kiko Franco Remix) which he used in his last fight against Josh Emmet.

With a 15-5 octagon record, Robert Whittaker, too, has used a variety of music in his fighting career, including ‘Khe Sanh’ by Cold Chisel, which he used in his first clash against Israel Adesanya at UFC 243. However, after the most important fights of his career, the Aussie walks out to the tune of Roy Jones Jr.‘s adrenaline-pumping hip-hop classic ‘Can’t Be Touched’.

His opponent, the flamboyant Paulo Costa, on the other hand, has an eclectic music taste and has used multiple songs to walk out to in his UFC career. In his most recent fight against Luke Rockhold at UFC 278, he chose the hip-hop classic ‘X Gon’ Give It To Ya’ by the legendary DMX.

Now let us look at the walkout songs for the fighters on the main card.

Which song will fighters on the main card walk out to?

Former champion Henry Cejudo, coming off a tough loss to then-champion Aljamain Sterling in his last fight, has promised that if he cannot defeat Dvalishvili, he will retire from the sport. For this all-important bout, he is likely to walk out to ‘The Show Goes On’ by Lupe Fiasco as he has done for bog fights in his career. Merab Dvalishvili, a proud Georgian, walks out to the tune of the Georgian anthem ‘Go, Go, I’m Coming’ by Midi Midi Movdivar.

After nearly a year of build-up and bad blood between them, Ian Machado Garry and Geoff Neal will finally face each other on the Anaheim card after their original UFC 292 bout was canceled last year. ‘The One’ walked out to Hozier’s popular track ‘Take Me To Church’ in his last fight and is expected to continue with it tonight.

While his opponent Neal has only used two songs, ‘Don’t Push Me’ by 50 Cent and ‘Hypnosis’ by Sleep Token, in his UFC career, he may choose one to walk out to at UFC 298 tonight.
