Even if you’re about to have a fist fight, you can still have some fun with your entrance music

Men In Black, Will Smith

Everyone at home and in the arena loves it – nothing beats a off-the-wall song selection to get a surge of support behind you at a big show. Few have been chosen as expertly as James Te Huna’s at Wembley Arena in London, England. Not only did he have the backing of the theme song from one of our favorite ’90s comedy films, the Kiwi and his cornermen suited up for a routine straight out of Will Smith’s music video. While no one can match his effort, here’s a playlist of entrance music that made us laugh.

Push it, Salt-N-Peppa

Sadly, Bryan Caraway decided not to add some ’80s dancing to his entrance.

Tenderness, General Public  

He didn’t last long in the UFC, but ‘Diamond’ Dave Kaplan made an impression.

Who Let the Dogs Out, Baha Men

Tom Lawlor set a canine free, as he walked a barking Seth Petruzelli to the cage. 

Kung Fu Fighting, Carl Douglas 

Daron Cruickshank’s kicks were fast as lightning. They were a little bit frightening.

Fat, Weird Al Yankovic

Roy Nelson makes everyone aware he’s a heavyweight fella, and he knows it.

Wonderboy, Tenacious D

Stephen Thompson can’t kill a yak with mind bullets, but he can knock men out with kicks.

Gertcha, Chas & Dave 

A bit of cockney music-hall humor from London’s own Brad Pickett.

Why Can’t We Be Friends, War 

Because, Dave Herman, you’re in that cage to punch other people in the face or make them tap out.

Age Age Every Night, DJ Ozma

Akihiro Gono’s backing for cross-dressing, afro-wearing, dance-based walkout gold.
