The results are in from the wildly successful UFC 129 event in Toronto.
No, I’m not talking about the fight card results. Those have been out for days. I’m talking about the results of which entrance song each fighter decided to use!
If you’re anything like me, the theme song that fighters use are an interesting glimpse at their character and are an awesome way to pump up the fans right before a big fight.
So if you’re interested in the entrance theme songs which each fighter used, look no further as they’re all here!

UFC lightweight Evan Dunham has suffered an undisclosed injury and withdrawn from his fight with George Sotiropoulos, according to a report from MMA Junkie.
Sotiropoulos is now slated to fight Rafael Dos Anjos at the July 2nd event in Las Vegas.
Dunham has lost in his past two Octagon appearances.
After a close split-decision loss to Sean Sherk, Dunham was stopped in the first round by Melvin Guillard’s knees. Those two losses were the first of Dunham’s career, which saw him get off to an 11-0 start.
Sotiropoulos is looking to rebound from a loss to Dennis Siver, in a bout that saw Siver utilize superior striking to outpoint Sotiropoulos and claim the decision victory.
The loss was Sotiropoulos’ first in the UFC and first since 2006.
The UFC is reporting that Rafael Dos Anjos has verbally agreed to replace Dunham on the fight card and square off against Sotiropoulos.
Dos Anjos’ last fight was in August, against Clay Guida—Guida picked up the submission victory after Dos Anjos suffered a jaw injury. The loss snapped a three-fight win streak for Dos Anjos and dropped his UFC record to 3-3.

Bleacher Report’s Tony Preston:
ate Diaz suffered a unanimous decision loss to Rory McDonald this past Saturday at UFC 129. His second straight loss in the welterweight division. Now it seems that Diaz plans to return to the lightweight division.
According to a report from MMA Mania, Diaz’s trainer, Cesar Gracie, says “Nate Diaz didn’t look too good. I’m gonna be the first one to say it. He looked lethargic out there and he’s been asking me to go back to 155 for some time now. Frankie Edgar is the champion over there and he’s the student of a good friend of mine. Nathan was one of the contenders at 155 so we brought him up to 170 but it looks like we’ll probably bring him back down to 155 where he belongs.”

Bleacher Report’s Mike Hodges:
Since his highlight reel knockout victory over Randy Couture at UFC 129, Lyoto Machida has been dubbed the “Karate Kid.”
The Brazilian’s style is so unique and complex, as he combines different styles into his arsenal, along with his elusive speed and footwork, including Shotokan karate, Sumo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai.
To put into perspective just how lethal Machida’s flying crane kick was, look no further than former Brazilian karate coach, Geraldo de Paula, who said that the kick Machida used is very hard to land.
“That was a perfect move. For those who know karate well, it is the most difficult attack to land. For those who know less, it’s fatal. Nobody is expecting a front kick like that, a front punch is more common,” de Paula said to UOL Esportes, courtesy of FightersOnlyMagazine.

Bleacher Report’s Dana Becker:
Despite the loss of a light heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Rashad Evans, the card for Ultimate Fighting Championship’s UFC 133 lineup is beginning to look stacked from top to bottom.
According to mmajunkie.com, UFC executives have made it official for welterweight contenders Mike Pierce and Johny Hendricks to meet inside the Wells Fargo Center on August 6. The fight is expected to be part of the pay-per-view lineup.
Hendricks (10-1), a two-time NCAA Div. I national wrestling champion while at Oklahoma State University, rebounded from his first career defeat at the hands of Rick Story with a violent first round technical knockout of T.J. Waldburger.
All ten of Hendricks’ victories have come by knockout.
Pierce (12-3) earned his third straight win with a TKO over Kenny Robertson in the first round. Over his last ten fights, Pierce is 9-1, with the lone loss coming at the hands of top contender Jon Fitch in 2009.
