Walkout songs in combat sports can be more than just a part of an entrance. For Max Holloway, his entire UFC Singapore outing last year, from the walkout to the knockout, had a deeper, more personal meaning. As he prepares to go once more unto the breach at UFC 300 to face Justin Gaethje, we will take a look at the Hawaiian’s walkout song and what it means to him.

Max Holloway rocks the Hawaii flag with great pride every time he walks into the Octagon and talks about his culture every chance he gets. The former UFC featherweight champ paid homage to the loss of lives that his people had at the fires of Maui, as he made sure to bring his people along with him in his fight against ‘The Korean Zombie‘ at UFC Fight Night Singapore. He even dedicated his walkout song to the people of Maui.

Max Holloway’s last walkout: A tribute to Hawaii

At his fight against Chan Sung Jung, Holloway walked out to the song, ‘Hawaiian Kickboxer’ by Moke Boy. ‘Blessed’ chose this song as a way to pay respect to the people who fell victim and the heroes who were doing all they could to help Hawaii from the destruction caused by the flames of Maui. This track has been a constant in almost all of Holloway’s walkouts, a tribute of sorts to his native Hawaii.
