UFC 325 Entrance Music: What Songs Alexander Volkanovski, Diego Lopes And Others Fighters Have Walked Out To
UFC 325 is set to light up Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, tonight, featuring a card loaded with fighters from the Australasia region. It marks the UFC’s second numbered event of 2026 and its first return to the “Harbour City” since UFC 312 in February 2025.
The fight card is headlined by a rematch, as reigning featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski puts his title on the line against Diego Lopes in the main event. The co-main event promises fireworks as well, with a potential lightweight barnburner between Dan Hooker and Benoit Saint Denis.
UFC 325: What Walkout Songs Do Alexander Volkanovski And Diego Lopes Use?
Walkouts are often the heartbeat of a major fight card, sending energy through the arena as the crowd erupts and the stakes feel heavier with every step a fighter takes toward the Octagon.
Here’s a closer look at the walkout songs several UFC 325 fighters have leaned on in past appearances.
With a 14-3 UFC record, Alexander Volkanovski is set to make the first defense of his featherweight title in his second reign as champion. The 37-year-old Aussie reclaimed the 145-pound crown at UFC 314 in April 2025, delivering a commanding unanimous decision victory over Diego Lopes.
When it comes to walkout music, Volkanovski believes in sticking with a proven formula. Ever since his UFC debut against Yusuke Kasuya in November 2016, “The Great” has made the walk to the Octagon to the unmistakable opening notes of Down Under by Australian rock icons “Men at Work”. Over the years, the 1981 classic has become inseparable from Volkanovski himself.
Meanwhile, Lopes, who holds a 6-2 record inside the Octagon, bounced back emphatically from his loss to Volkanovski. The Brazilian standout delivered a highlight-reel spinning elbow knockout of Jean Silva at Noche UFC in September 2025.
While his walkout music has often changed from fight to fight, the 31-year-old has recently gravitated toward the energetic regional Mexican anthem “La Chona” by Los Tucanes de Tijuana, a lively choice that perfectly matches his aggressive style.

Carrying a 14-9 UFC record, Dan Hooker heads into UFC 325 following a submission setback to Arman Tsarukyan at UFC Qatar last November. Now 35, the seasoned lightweight has never tied himself to a single walkout anthem, instead changing his entrance music regularly.
For his bout with Tsarukyan, “The Hangman” made his walk to the Octagon to “Hate Bein’ Sober” by Chief Keef, featuring 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa.
By contrast, for his appearance at UFC 305, Hooker opted for a very different vibe, walking out to “Who I Smoke” by Fastmoney Goon, Spinabenz, and Yungeen Ace.
On the other hand, Benoît Saint Denis enters UFC 325 sporting an 8-3 UFC record and riding the momentum of a first-round knockout victory over Beneil Dariush at UFC 322.
“God of War” has shown consistency when it comes to his walkout music, remaining loyal throughout his career to the gritty wartime anthem “Le Chant des Commandos” by NTM. The choice is deeply personal, serving as a tribute to his background in the French military, where he served with elite special forces.
