Songs to get fighters bursting with local pride.

2PAC FEAT. DR. DRE & ROGER TROUTMAN - CALIFORNIA LOVE

There’s nothing better to get fighters fired up than songs that show their love and loyalty to where they’re from.

When they’re fighting to make their town, country and people proud, you can expect puffed-out chests and great performances thanks to the sounds from or about their homeland ringing in their ears as the audience gets behind them.

Track one on this local-pride playlist is a jam that’s been Urijah Faber’s signature tune since way back in his WEC days – an ode to his beloved home state.
