The UFC is returning to its rightful home in Las Vegas, the world’s fight capital, for a explosive night of MMA action. There will be pyrotechnics at UFC 313 when two of the sport’s most dangerous light heavyweights square off against one another.

The Soundtrack to War: Fighters’ Walkout Songs
Walkout music is more than just background noise; it establishes the mood for war. Although official fight night songs have not yet been announced, history indicates that Magomed Ankalaev will march to the cage to the moving Russian anthem “My Nanak (Мой Нaнак)” by Tamila Sagaipova, and Alex Pereira will probably make his entrance to the powerful tribal beats of Sepultura.
