But is the music any good? Nah, Nah, Nah.
Kanye West, rap weirdo and husband to Kim Kardashian, is taking a break from his presidential campaign to share “theme music” he cooked up alongside his “energized” team, set to Joaquin Buckley’s sensational knockout victory over Impa Kasanganay at UFC Fight Island 5 last weekend in Abu Dhabi (see it again in slow motion here).
West is no stranger to UFC videos, having appeared in the pre-fight promo for UFC 162: “Silva vs. Weidman” back in summer 2013. Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen went on record to call West the “Dana White of the music industry” which is worth mentioning for no other reason than my shitty word count.
Buckley won a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus for his finish over Kasanganay and is likely to find himself more prominently featured in his next middleweight bout. “New Mansa” (11-3) stands at 1-1 inside the Octagon after crossing over from LFA back in July.
