Mickey Gall credits online fans for changing Dana White’s mind about walkout song

An episode of the UFC video blog Embedded showed Mickey Gall on the phone with UFC president Dana White before UFC 203 last week. White told Gall that he didn't want him to use his preferred walkout song: the popular 1980s song "Mickey" by Toni Basil.

The conversation got people talking on social media — and might have contributed to White's change of heart.

When Gall walked out at UFC 203 in Cleveland, it was to "Mickey" after all and he didn't know it until he heard the first chord, Gall told Ariel Helwani on Monday's episode of The MMA Hour.
