After a week off, the UFC is back with its latest pay-per-view extravanganze, UFC 209. Some fighters, like welterweight title challenger Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson, have the “walkout as branding exercise” concept down. Others, not so much. That’s where I come in. As MMASucka.com‘s resident board-certified musicologist, I’m here to help these wayward fighters find better songs with which to connect to the crowd. I’m also giving this advice publicly, as both a courtesy and a way to entertain you, the fans. So, let’s get started.

What she should walk out to: “Swamped” – Lacuna Coil
Amanda Bobby Cooper has the same walkout problem that seems to affect many women: A choice of song that lacks energy.
