Khamzat Chimaev Walkout Song: What Tracks Will “Borz” Use at UFC 308?

Before a fighter enters the Octagon to go to war, he steps out to strike music and a dramatic entrance to fire up the crowd and give them a dose of his aura. There is no doubt that these songs trigger adrenaline in every person in an arena and help fighters recharge for the fight later on. With that in mind, today we’re taking a look at the UFC middleweight star’s playlist, Khamzat Chimaev.

“Borz” returns this weekend at UFC 308 for a rescheduled fight against Robert Whittakerand there is another one-year layoff. Still, it’s always exciting to see Khamzat Chimaev in action, but which song will he get the crowd in Abu Dhabi with? Let’s take a look at the front.

What is Khamzat Chimaev’s strike song?

While some fighters use multiple songs to get to the octagon, that’s not what Khamzat Chimaev prefers. The undefeated star only said goodbye to a specific song by a singer from his home country of Russia: Timur Mutsurayev. The 48-year-old singer hails from Grozny, Chechnya, where Chimaev’s gym, Akhmat Fight Club, is located.

The song he used is called “ТУ НОЧЬ КОГДА (РОЖДАЛИСЬ ВОЛКИ)”. which in English means “That night when wolves were born.” This song enjoys a fair amount of popularity as it has garnered over 800,000 views on YouTube, the largest video sharing platform available. On the other hand, the total number of views could be higher as a number of users of this website have uploaded this tune on their channels.

Therefore, we can expect Khamzat Chimaev to rock the same song this weekend unless he has something else in mind, and we won’t know that until the day of UFC 308 arrives. So in the meantime, let’s take a look at what his opponent also has in mind for his strike.

Robert Whittaker’s walkout song for UFC 308

Robert Whittaker has a similar preference to Khamzat Chimaev when it comes to his walkout song. The song he launches into has become something of an anthem for him, similar to that of WWE superstars. Wrestling fans know how excited they get when “Stone Cold” Steve Austin goes to his iconic and patented glass shattering theme song. For Whittaker, however, he seems to love a song written by a legendary boxing star: Roy Jones Jr.

Yes, Roy Jones Jr., who had a boxing career that spanned nearly three decades, also dabbled in music. He made a number of rap songs, and the one that made Robert Whittaker a fan of the boxing icon was his song from his hip-hop group Body Head Bangerz’s second album titled “Can’t be Touched” . This song echoes through every arena when “The Reaper” makes his appearance. Yes, that’s probably the song that will echo at UFC 308 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
