Former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder Josh Barnett may have been born in Seattle, but he won over the fans at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, with his choice of walkout song on Saturday at UFC Fight Night “Barnett vs. Nelson.”
“The Ultimate Fighter” Season 10 winner and onetime International Fight League champion Roy Nelson walked out to their main event to Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.,” but Barnett countered with a Japanese anthem entitled “Ai Wo Torimodose,” by Hokuto no Ken.
