8. Ed Herman
We all know what the song is supposed to be about and we’re all wondering what business it has being an entrance song. It doesn’t even have a cool beat. But that didn’t stop Ed Herman from using ”In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins at UFC 72. I can feel it, coming in the…okay, that’s enough.
Maybe Croatians are to music what Poles are to being smart. We went back to 1985 when Cro Cop came strolling out to Duran Duran’s “Wild Boys”. Sample lyric: And lovers war with arrows over, secrets they could tell. That’s so special.
6. Tim Sylvia
If it’s a statement about how he thinks people picture him, he should have picked “Bitch” by Meredith Brooks. Instead, the Maine-iac from Iowa walked out to Kanye West’s “Jesus Walks”. Check out this lyric: Try to catch it Uhhhh! It’s kinda hard, hard. If we’re talking about the punches that Randy Couture threw into your face, then sure, it is kinda hard hard. Maybe he should drop “Jesus Walks” for something that better reflects his ring entrances, like “Dude Who Looks Like He Just Shit His Pants Sashays.” (Can’t remember who does that one…)
We get it. You’re the “Iceman” and the song says “ice” about fifty times. But “Ice Ice Baby” should be banned from any arena housing a cage. Alright stop, collaborate and listen. It sucks and it’s cheesy.
4. Matt Hughes
“A Country Boy Can Survive” by Hank Williams, Jr. This hillbilly lullabye is on the list partially because we’re sick of it and partially because we just hate it. Enough already. You’re a ‘country boy’. Fine. Must you abuse our ears over and over just to get your point across? I’d love to spit some Beechnut in that dude’s eyes…Yeah, that’ll teach him. (Please excuse the low quality video, but you get the idea)
3. Tito Ortiz
While it may be appropriate to occasionally crank in your car, ”Mosh” by Eminem is shitty entrance music. There’s better Eminem stuff to use and not look like such a douche. Imagine it pouring, raining down on us, mosh pits outside the oval office. You’ve got to be kidding.
2. Gilbert “The Hurricane” Yvel
He’s from Holland, but that’s no excuse. When I think of MMA, my mind immediately drifts to ”YMCA”, how about you? I feel like I’m at my aunt’s birthday party in a sucky theme restaurant, not at a cage match. We’re gonna’ stay at the Y-M-C-A!
I’m all for John Lennon and no one can dispute the merits of ”Imagine”, but when Monson marched out to the social conscious ballad blaring over the loud speakers, my balls leapt to the floor and ran out the door. Imagine all the people, living life in peace. What? Then there’d be no fights, Snowman!
Got other lame entrance songs to add? Leave ideas in the comments section.

commentsand shame on chuck liddell. the moment of comedic recognition is not worth having to endure the rest of the song, or to go the rest of your life admitting you could have chosen so many things, yet you chose that.
In the air tonight - not the greatest but definetly not the worse, i can see why someone could get pumped to it because of the intro with the slow drum
jesus walks - good song, imo. just because u dont like tim sylvia doesnt mean you have to discredit the song
a country boy can survive- im dont like this song and would never listen to it on my ipod but it perfectly suits hughes. hearing the guitar start and then hughes walk out slowly is awesome, the lyrics really match his style
MOSH - couldnt disagree more. great beat in the background, and seeing tito come out to it hopping around and mouthing the words is awesome. i can only think of a few better eminem songs
imagine - if anyone told me someone came out to imagine i wouldve thought it was a horrible entrance too, but seeing monson at ufc 65, i actually found it pretty cool, goes well with his anarchist style. i remember seeing monson walk out so ahppy, i thought i had to root for him right away
and who said the wandys entrance agaisnt chuck sucked. that was one of the craziest entrances ive seen. sandstorm starting up slowly, wandy walking out slowly rolling his knuckles, was insane
this list is nowhere near the worst entrances
worst would be something like carlos newton coming out to bootylicious, nate mohr coming out to i dont feel like dancing, or josh koscheks retarded custom made rap song, i think the lyrics talk abot how he won his previous fights
that made me tingly when i saw it live.
"in the air tonight" is a great song to pump you up, maybe not intro cuz it takes too long to get to the pump up part, but still not one of the worst.
YMCA is absolutely horrible and i think Yvel should have to come in to "its raining men" for the rest of his career.
Also Wild Boys is a dope song.
I also wish Jardine would make an entrance as the Techno Viking. Could be pretty amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwsntHcWiy4
Many Man - 50 Cent / Joe Riggs
Bad To The Bone / Karo Parisyan
Born In The USA - Bruce Springsteen / Matt Hamill (but he cant hear that so... :D )
+ Matt Hughes
Those are pretty bad too, what i can remember now.
If CagePotato is going to do Best entrance songs list I will post my top 10 to there :)
