Walkout songs are more than just some melodic background noise to merely garnish an entrance; they’re the soundtrack to a fighter’s mental state, a final surge of energy before the cage door closes. UFC Vegas 106 will take place this Saturday, May 17, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, and fans expect some unforgettable entrances.

After all, who doesn’t like to get hyped up as they see a superhero-like fighter make his way to the battleground? But what would be the choice of music for our gladiators? That is something that many fans would be wondering. So, from veteran Gilbert Burns to unbeaten emerging star Michael Morales, let’s see which music they have used in the past and guess what tunes are likely to reverberate around the arena as these warriors march to combat next.

UFC Vegas 106: Which songs does Gilbert Burns and Michael Morales walk out to?

Gilbert Burns and Michael Morales face off in a high-stakes welterweight bout that will headline the night. Burns, the No. 8-ranked welterweight and former championship challenger, is looking for redemption after a rough run. With five losses in his last seven bouts, ‘Durinho’ is hoping to turn things around.

Despite previous defeats, one thing remains consistent: his walkout song. Burns is likely to stay with his signature song, “Medley” by Buchecha, a vivacious Brazilian ballad that has become an integral part of his character in the Octagon. The lively rhythm symbolizes his heritage, but it will also remain a mark of his resilience.

On the other side of the cage stands Ecuador’s undefeated superstar, Michael Morales. Morales is on a high after knocking out Neil Magny in the first round at UFC Vegas 96, giving him a perfect 5-0 UFC record. Moreover, his MMA record is an impressive 17-0. The 25-year-old is known for keeping his walkout playlist fresh and loves to have a wide range of selections.

He earlier went out to Myke Towers’ “Jugador Franquicia” against Max Griffin and used Skrillex’s “Bangarang” ft. Sirah against Adam Fugitt at UFC 277. So, you can surely expect the emerging talent to surprise fans even more with his next pick. But what about the other fighters on the card? What music will they be using?

Walkout music of Paul Craig, Rodolfo Bellato, and others

In the co-main event, Paul Craig returns to the spotlight. The Scottish fighter, noted for his tough ground game and submission abilities, is looking to rebound from a three-fight losing streak. At UFC 301, he walked into the Octagon to the dramatic and booming “Victory Over the Sun” by Biffy Clyro, a song that reflects his fighting spirit. Such was the crowd reaction back then that now fans want him to return to that theme when he faces Rodolfo Bellato in a key light heavyweight matchup.

Bellato, on the other hand, is still figuring out his UFC career, with a record of 1-0-1. The Brazilian fighter brings intensity to the cage, and his walkout song reflects that. He previously made his debut on “Aonde Nos Chegou” by MC Menor and MC Dede, a single that combines urban rhythm with powerful lyrics that properly reflect his toughness and cultural roots.

As for the other fighters on the stacked card, Sodiq Yusuff is slated to walk out to Kanye West’s powerhouse anthem “Power,” whereas Jared Gordon, who is anchored in faith, often enters to Steven Furtick’s “By Faith I Will Find It.” Thiago Moises, another Brazilian on the roster, is known to choose MC Kako’s “Malandragem (Intro)” as his anthem of choice, bringing a local flavor to his walk as well, just like his fellow countrymen.

Meanwhile, Luana Santos provides a distinct sound, having previously performed a mashup version of “Fall Out Boy & Alicia Keys” with Christina Grimmie and Mike Tompkins. As the fighters prepare to enter the cage at UFC Vegas 106, their music selections will once again help set the tone for what promises to be an action-packed night of emotion and unforgettable memories.
