On the other hand, his opponent Eddie Alvarez is a legend in the world of MMA. The former UFC lightweight champion has a solid record of 30-8 in mixed martial arts. ‘The Underground King’ holds notable victories over the likes of Justin Gaethje, Rafael dos Anjos and Anthony Pettis. Furthermore, he made his BKFC debut against Chad Mendes with a split-decision victory.
This will be a very interesting match since both of them are bonafide stars in the world of MMA. Furthermore, their boxing and brawling style will make this match very interesting. Let’s see which walkout songs will the two fighters be using at BKFC 56.
Which song will Mike Perry use for BKFC 56?
In his latest fight against Luke Rockhold, ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry used a hip-hop song called ‘Superhero (Heroes and Villans)’ by Metro Boomin and Future. Furthermore, in his UFC 255 match against Tim Means, he hilariously walked out to ‘Halo’ by Beyonce. However, based on his reaction he intended to walk out on a different song and it was a technical mistake.
During his UFC 245 clash against Geoff Neal, he used a song called ‘Forever’ by American rapper Tory Lanez. Apart from that, in his unanimous decision victory over Mickey Gall, ‘Platinum’ Mike used another hip-hop track called, ‘Bandit’ by Juice Wrld and NBA Youngboy.
Given his history of using fresh tracks, we can expect a new hip-hop banger from Mike Perry. However, he also has a chance to troll the audience by using ‘Halo’ by Beyonce once again.
Which song will Eddie Alvarez use for BKFC 56?
Eddie Alvarez believes that a walkout theme is one of the most important parts of a fighter’s personality. “It’s less about the words and more about the beat. It’s what you feel inside,” said Alvarez. Given his love for walkout themes, ‘The Underground King’ has a very iconic track associated with his fighting career.
Alvarez is known to use the hip-hop classic, ‘Victory’ by Puff Daddy, The Notorious B.I.G, and Busta Rhymes for most of his MMA career. He used this track during his UFC lightweight title win against Rafael dos Anjos. Furthermore, he used the same track for his match against Conor McGregor and Justin Gaethje.
However, when he moved to One FC in 2019, he switched it up with another hip-hop banger. For his ONE Championship debut against Timofey Nastyukhin, Eddie used, ‘The Champ is Here’ by iconic rapper Jadakiss. Furthermore, this is the same song he used his time in the Japanese promotion Dream.
It looks like we can get any one of these songs from Alvarez at BKFC 56. However, he can switch gears and use a whole other song to surprise the audience. Given his love for hip-hop music, we can expect an old-school classic at the upcoming event.
