UFC's most intimidating walkout song: Khabib Nurmagomedov beats Conor McGregor, Israel Adesanya not in top 10

Walkout songs can often be an exciting part of UFC and MMA in general. A great walkout song can run through like a bolt of energy among the audience present in the arena and can also give the fighter an adrenaline rush.

There are several iconic walkout songs in the MMA world. One of which is 'No Sunshine' by DMX, which was used by former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva while making his way to the octagon.

Curtis Blaydes' name also comes in the category of fighters who have an amazing walkout song as 'Razor' walks out to the 'Mortal Kombat' theme song for his fights.

But there are some songs that are used to intimidate opponents and instill fear in them.

Professionals at Betway recently came up with a list of fighters with the most intimidating walkout music in MMA. The list was made by taking several factors into consideration like loudness, BPM, energy and overall intimidation score.

Irish superstar Conor McGregor's walkout song 'Hypnotize' by Notorious B.I.G. ranked third on the list with an intimidation score of 1.752.

Israel Adesanya walks out to "Hello Zepp and Overture" by Charlie Clouser — it's the score from the "Saw" franchise.
