UFC Rio is right around the corner, taking place on October 11, 2025, in the Farmasi Arena, and fans are expecting a night full of exciting fights. The main event features some of Brazil’s best MMA talents, including Charles Oliveira, who will face Mateusz Gamrot. Alongside them, former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, veteran welterweight Vicente Luque, Montel Jackson, and Joel Alvarez will be fighting in high-stakes bouts, providing an electrifying atmosphere for fans in the arena and at home.

As always, UFC walkouts are more than just a ceremonial moment; they provide insight into a fighter’s personality, thinking, and, in some cases, strategy. Fighters carefully choose entrance songs to fuel themselves, intimidate opponents, or connect with fans, making music nearly as important to the spectacle as the fights themselves. With Brazilian fighters performing in front of their home crowd, fans can expect walkouts that highlight national pride and individual flair.

Charles Oliveira vs. Mateusz Gamrot walkout songs

The main event between Charles ‘Do Bronx’ Oliveira and Mateusz ‘Gamer’ Gamrot is vital for both fighters. The former UFC lightweight champion, Oliveira, will hope to make a comeback in this fight after his first-round knockout loss to Ilia Topuria at UFC 317. With a 2-3 record in his past five fights, including two losses in championship fights, Oliveira needs a great performance to keep his title hopes alive.

Having accepted this fight on short notice, a victory for Mateusz Gamrot would make him one of the top five lightweight fighters. The 34-year-old will look to not let this opportunity slip by after he lost to Beneil Dariush at UFC 280 in 2022, who was the top contender then.

Charles Oliveira has always chosen Fernandinho’s “O Hino” during his walkouts, a song that has accompanied him through many of his UFC bouts and is popular among Brazilian fans. Mateusz Gamrot usually enters the Octagon to “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark” by Fall Out Boy, a high-energy track that complements his aggressive fighting style and helps establish the tone.

Which songs will Deiveson Figueiredo, Vicente Luque & others walk out to?

In the bantamweight co-main event, Deiveson Figueiredo takes on Montel Jackson, who is aiming to restore momentum following recent losses. Figueiredo is known for a number of popular songs, including “Baludao” by Dkria, the legendary Mission Impossible theme, and “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey. Fans can expect him to debut a new track for UFC Rio, reflecting his unpredictable and energetic style.

Vicente Luque, a seasoned welterweight contender, has often walked out to Tropkillaz’s “Baby Baby.” As a local favorite, he is expected to use the song again this weekend, energizing the Brazilian crowd while emphasizing his hometown connection. Montel Jackson has used emotionally meaningful tracks, like Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” as an homage to his coach’s late mother.

He has also stepped out to Meek Mill’s “We Ball,” showing his versatility and emotional storytelling through music. Joel Alvarez has become known for his choice of Antonio Banderas’ “Cancion del Mariachi.” The song has been a fixture of his UFC walkouts, allowing him to engage the audience and develop a distinct character before entering the Octagon.

Overall, UFC Rio offers more than just spectacular fights. The entrance music provides a psychological and cultural aspect to the sport, revealing each fighter’s mindset while exciting the crowd. The walkouts, featuring Oliveira’s Brazilian pride, Gamrot’s high-energy rock, and Figueiredo’s dynamic diversity, are designed to enhance the spectacle of fight night, delivering an unforgettable experience for fans in Rio and throughout the world.
