http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4vZFQWWFeQ The parameters of a UFC live show have changed in such a way that we will probably never see another entrance on the level with Tito Ortiz during his prime. The LHW fighter was a captivating presence, becoming one of UFC's first true stars and the flagship fighter for the promotion during the early Zuffa years. His entrance at UFC 33 prior to his fight with Vladimir Matyushenko was a spectacle to behold. It began with a darkened arena and some electronic music with a pulsating synth that was punctuated with light flashes and bursts of pyro flame, while Ortiz stood on the stage bouncing in place with his trademark U.S. flag (that he would later customize with the Mexican flag as well). That would segue into "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit, which, while definitely dating the entrance, is still a great song to serve as a prelude to violence. Ortiz made those early UFCs fun and always stood out among the roster, for his talent as well as his showmanship. What are your all-time favorite entrances? Let us know in the comments below.
