Alright, so UFC 300 was looming, a massive card, and like many of you, I was particularly hyped to see Max Holloway step in there. Beyond the fights themselves, I’ve always had a thing for the walkout songs. It’s part of the whole spectacle, you know? Sets the tone. So, naturally, I got this itch to find out what song Max would use for such a monumental event.
My Hunt for the Track
My first move, pretty standard stuff, I just typed something like “Max Holloway walkout song UFC 300” into my search engine. You’d figure that would spit out the answer right away. Sometimes it’s that easy. But this time? Not so much. I got a bunch of articles talking about his past songs, which are great, don’t get me wrong, but I was after the specifics for UFC 300. There was a lot of guessing in forums, people throwing out ideas, but nothing solid.
So, I thought, okay, gotta dig a little. I started poking around some of the MMA forums and fan communities. You know, places where the hardcore fans usually have the scoop. I spent a fair bit of time scrolling through discussion threads. Lots of excitement about the BMF title fight, his opponent, the whole card, really. But the song info? Still pretty elusive. It’s funny how sometimes the simplest bit of information can be tricky to nail down when an event is still building up.
Then it hit me – social media. Sometimes the fighters, their camps, or even early media day reports drop hints. So, I switched gears and started trawling through Twitter and Instagram. I searched for Max, people associated with his team, hashtags related to UFC 300. It was a bit like panning for gold, sifting through training clips, interviews, and fan hype. You gotta be patient with that stuff.
The “Aha!” Moment
And then, finally! I can’t pinpoint if it was a comment under a post, or a tweet from someone who attended a media event, but the information surfaced. Someone confidently stated he’d be walking out to his classic. And they named it: “Hawaiian Kickboxer” by Moke Boy.
I immediately went and gave it another listen, even though I know the song well. Yep, that’s Max. It just has that perfect vibe for him – unmistakably Hawaiian, chill, but with an underlying energy that says he’s ready for business. It’s not one of those over-the-top, screaming-type songs. It’s just… him. Authentic.
When fight night actually came around and those familiar notes hit the arena speakers, it just felt right. The crowd got into it, and you could tell it’s a song that resonates with his identity. For a big moment like UFC 300, going with something so intrinsically linked to who he is makes total sense. No need to fix what isn’t broken, especially when it’s that good.
So, that was my little quest. A bit of digital detective work, but it’s always satisfying to get to the bottom of these small details. It’s these little things that add to the whole experience of being a fan, isn’t it? The music, the entrances, it all builds the story.
