Since entrance music plays a vital role in shaping the overall spectacle of a UFC event, let’s check out what songs we might hear at this week’s fight night. Starting with…
What walkout songs have UFC Perth headliners used previously?
UFC Perth’s main attraction, the ex-170 lbs kingpin, Jack Della Maddalena, is famous for his high-octane walkout. ‘JDM’ has used AC/DC’s “TNT” for his walkout, and it has become so iconic that it’s highly likely he will come out to the same track at RAC Arena. On the other hand, Carlos Prates sticks to his Brazilian roots, walking out to “Marolento” by Puterrier feat. Borges.
Following the main event, Beneil Dariush is one of the well-known faces in Australia as a veteran of the sport. So far, ‘Benny’ has used Hillsong Worship’s “A Beautiful Exchange,” an upbeat religious song. As for Quillan Salkilld, not much is known about the dynamic Aussie’s entrance song.

Now that we’ve got to know about the main and co-main event fighters’ entrance songs, the other fighters on the card won’t disappoint with their stellar walkout tracks.
What music genres do UFC Perth fighters prefer for walkouts?
When it comes to walkout tracks, UFC fighters definitely have a very diverse taste. That holds true when we look at flyweight veteran Tim Elliott’s walkout music, which has been Johnny Cash’s song, “A Boy Named Sue.” Compare that to his opponent Steve Erceg using “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim” by Jim Croce, and there’s definitely a striking contrast.
Unfortunately, featherweight fighter Makhwan Amirkhani’s entrance song remains shrouded in mystery, but it’s regarded as an upbeat track. Similarly, his adversary Ollie Schmid’s walkout is not known yet. Still, we will soon find out what trackOllie prefers when the Aussie makes his UFC debut this weekend.
Following the 145 lbs bout, we finally come to the night’s anticipated heavyweight clash. Shamil Gaziev returns in UFC Perth to take on Brando Peričić on the main card. The Russian most notably paid homage to his home, Dagestan, with “My Dagestan” by Manarsha Hiraeva, so we expect that song to remain intact this weekend. On the flip side, Peričić had Israel Adesanya vibing to “Jowenna” by F1J1 in his last fight, so he likely won’t change that track.
Lastly, Tai Tuivasa never fails to entertain fans with the pop hit “Raise Your Glass” by P!nk, and the heavyweight is once again expected to come out to that song. Well, his opponent, Louie Sutherland’s, walkout song is not widely known.
That said, which of the UFC Perth walkout songs do you like the most?
