The first fight of the evening on the main card of UFC 118 was Marcus Davis vs. Nate Diaz, and Davis came out to a popular, classic rap/hip hop song in House of Pain's "Jump Around."
An Irish American hip hop anthem suited The Irish Hand Grenade well but he still ended up losing his fight at UFC 118 in the welterweight division to Mr. Diaz.
Later in the evening for the third fight on the main card unknown grappling star Mario Mirando showed off his love for hip hop when his entrance song "Ruff Ryders Anthem" from DMX played over the speakers in Boston.
Miranda got out-grappled and lost a decision to Demian Maia, however.
The UFC 118 entrance song list was a bit more of an average selection than the ones in recent memory but these two songs were among the highlights for sure despite the losses suffered by Davis and Miranda on the evening.
