Walkout songs largely hit differently over the last year, as fans were only in the building for a smattering of big shows. What was once a crucial part of the fight game in a competitor’s entrance felt hollow, or perhaps turned intensely personal, as the tunes echoed through the likes of the UFC Apex or Bellator’s “Fightsphere,” to name but a few empty locales. The return of fans in attendance at major events, a story that should draw some attention across our sport, massively impacted how fighter’s entrances felt. They were few and far between, so some fighters made certain to make them count.
