UFC 310 walkout songs: Tracks Alexandre Pantoja, Kai Asakura, Shavkat Rakhmonov, Ian Machado Garry, and others have used before

UFC 310 is set to electrify the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, Dec. 7, featuring a thrilling lineup of matchups. As the final pay-per-view of the year, the event upholds the promotion's tradition of closing out the calendar with a spectacle in 'Sin City'.

The fight card will feature a main event where reigning UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja puts his title on the line against promotional newcomer Kai Asakura. Meanwhile, the co-main event showcases undefeated welterweights Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Machado Garry clashing in a five-round bout that could serve as a potential title eliminator.

Walkouts are the essence of any major fight card, transforming the venue into a hub of electric intensity. These captivating entrances ignite the fighters' spirits and channel surges of excitement through the crowd, elevating the anticipation for the battles ahead.

While the walkout songs for the UFC 310 lineup remain under wraps, we can explore the iconic tracks these fighters have chosen in previous bouts.

With a UFC record of 12-3, including two wins by knockout, Alexandre Pantoja is gearing up for his third flyweight title defense. He captured the belt with a hard-fought split decision victory over former champion Brandon Moreno at UFC 290 in July 2023. Since then, Pantoja has successfully defended his title against Brandon Royval and Steve Erceg.

When it comes to selecting walkout songs, 'The Cannibal' has developed a distinctive ritual, stepping into the arena to the rhythms of 50 Cent’s 'Many Men (Wish Death)'. This track has been his anthem of choice since his victorious debut against Eric Shelton in 2017.

Meanwhile, Kai Asakura, with a professional MMA record of 21-4, including 13 knockouts, is poised to make his octagon debut at UFC 310 — and he’s doing it in a high-stakes title fight. The 31-year-old Japanese fighter is a two-time RIZIN FF bantamweight champion.

Asakura has secured impressive victories over top-tier opponents like Manel Kape and Kyoji Horiguchi. He’s coming off a second-round knockout win over Juan Archuleta at RIZIN 45 in December 2023.

Throughout much of his time at RIZIN FF, Asakura has made his entrance to the roped-ring with the powerful beats of 'Forever Young' by his fellow countryman AK-69, featuring UVERworld.

UFC 310: Which songs have Shavkat Rakhmonov, Ian Machado Garry, and others walked out to?

The welterweight clash between Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Machado Garry wasn’t originally on the cards for UFC 310. 'Nomad' was initially slated to challenge divisional champion Belal Muhammad in the main event, but those plans were derailed when Muhammad was forced to pull out due to a toe infection.

In a twist of fate, 'The Future' seized the opportunity to step in and face Rakhmonov, relinquishing his original headlining spot against Joaquin Buckley at UFC Tampa on Dec. 14.

Boasting an undefeated UFC record of 6-0, with every victory coming via finish, Rakhmonov is set to make his return to the octagon after a year-long hiatus. His last appearance saw him deliver a knockout against Stephen Thompson at UFC 296 in December 2023

'Nomad' has found his signature sound, consistently stepping into the arena to the tunes of 'Tam Tau Adam' by fellow Kazakh artist Machenskii. This track has become a constant companion in each of his UFC fights.

On the other hand, Machado Garry, with a perfect UFC record of 8-0 including three knockouts, is coming off a dominant unanimous decision victory over Michael 'Venom' Page at UFC 303 in June.

'The Future' has maintained a steady tradition with his walkout songs in recent bouts, choosing the timeless classic 'Layla' by Eric Clapton, a track that holds special meaning as it shares the name of his wife.

Previously, Machado Garry would enter the octagon to the powerful anthem 'Take Me To Church' by Hozier.

Another key matchup on the UFC 310 card is a heavyweight rematch between former interim champion Ciryl Gane and Alexander Volkov. Originally set for UFC 308, the fight had to be rescheduled after an injury sidelined the Russian contender.

The two fighters first faced off at a Fight Night event in June 2021, where Gane secured a unanimous decision victory.

'Bon Gamin' last competed in September 2023 at UFC Paris, where he bounced back from his submission loss to Jon Jones for the vacant heavyweight title at UFC 285, securing a dominant second-round knockout over Serghei Spivac.

At UFC 285, Gane made his entrance to the intense beats of 'Zoo' by Kaaris, marking a shift from his previous walkout anthem, '2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted' by Tupac featuring Snoop Dogg, which accompanied him during his clash with Francis Ngannou at UFC 270.

Meanwhile, Volkov is fresh off a dominant unanimous decision victory over Sergei Pavlovich at UFC Saudi Arabia in June, extending his four-fight win streak. For his entrance at UFC 293, 'Drago' chose the powerful track 'Mama Mi Vse Tiagelo Bolni' by the Russian band 25/17.
