Valentina Shevchenko will be back too as she takes on Taila Santos in the co-main event of the PPV. She is well and truly on her way to becoming the female GOAT of MMA. She defeated Joanna Jedrzejczyk in 2018 to capture the vacant flyweight title. Since then, Valentina has gone on to have 6 successful title defences over the likes of Jessica Eye, Katlyn Chookagian and Jessica Andrade.

But the most amount of buzz is being generated by a rematch in the women’s strawweight. In the rematch of the greatest women’s fight of all time, Joanna Jedrzejczyk will go toe to toe once against Zhang Weili. The UFC president Dana White has already confirmed that the winner will fight the divisional champion Carla Esparza next.

Which walkout songs will Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka use at UFC 275?
The current champ Glover Teixeira has had a 10-year career in the UFC so far. Hence his music catalogue is vast. During his 2020 fight night main event against Anthony Smith, Glover used the iconic Guns N’ Roses song ‘Welcome to the jungle.’ He used the same song for his fight against Thiago Santos in 2020 as well.
But he mixed it up for the title fight against Jan at UFC 267. He walked out to a song named ‘Vou Colher Sorrindo’ by Pregador Luo.
His opponent Jiri Prochazka used ‘Voodoo Child’ by Brick + Mortar for his UFC debut against Volkan Oezdemir at UFC 251. For his second bout against Dominick Reyes, Jiri used ‘Ruination’ by Ninja Tracks at UFC Vegas 23.
What songs will Valentina Shevchenko and Taila Santos use at UFC 275?
Valentina Shevchenko is not the one to change her walkout music from one fight to another. She has stuck with Traditional European Dance music for a number of years now.
Taila Santos used the song ‘Unstoppable’ by renowned artist Sia for her win over Roxanne Modafferi at UFC 266. She used the same music for her bout against Joanne Wood in 2021 as well.
Walkout songs for Zhang Weili and Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 275
The former UFC 115lbs champion Zhang Weili walked out to ‘Sea of Laughs’ at UFC 248 for the first bout against Joanna in 2018. She used the same song for both of her last bouts at UFC 261 and UFC 268 against Rose Namajunnas.
Joanna Jedrzejczyk used Aerosmith’s ‘Dream On’ as her walkout music at UFC 248 to fight Zhang 4 years ago. She has also used ‘Back from the Edge’ against Michelle Waterson in 2019 at UFC Fight Night 161. She used ‘Shallow’ by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from the movie ‘A Star is Born.’
Above mentioned songs were used by the fighters for their previous fights. But there remains a chance that they will try a different walkout for UFC 275.
