Marketing Yourself: The Walkout

Top-level fighters usually go through 3-4 months of hard and gut-wrenching training before a single fight. When all the work is said and done, the fight is always said to be the fun part. One way to marketing yourself to gain some fans is to give them something different. Yes, people who pay their hard earned money for a ticket want to see good fights, but when fighters go the extra mile and give the fans that, well, the fans love it.

Below are some of my favorite walkouts to MMA fights where the fighters had a little bit more fun.

Enjoy!

David Kaplan rocking the "Tenderness" by General Public.

James Te-Huna keeping it classy with the "Men in Black" theme.

Who let the dogs out? More like who let Tom Lawlor out?

Jason "Mayhem" Miller, the old host of Bully Beatdown definitely has some dance moves.

Oh hey look! More Tom Lawlor. This time he is doing his best impersonation of Apollo Creed.
