What fighter entrance was the most memorable to you? What gave you chills? I'll never forget watching Randy Couture's entrance at UFC 129 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, with the Canadian crowd waiting with baited breath for Couture to appear for his final fight. They built up the anticipation with a sublime video package, and then the giant screens above the Octagon showed an American flag with Couture's face superimposed over it as "Lunatic Fringe," the main song from the greatest wrestling movie of all time, began pumping over the arena. It was a special moment, one I will never forget.
And then there are Fedor Emelianenko's numerous entrances, with his ominous music and his steely demeanor. You always felt like you were about to see something truly special, and most of the time you did.
What are your ten greatest fighter entrances? I realize I left off Genki Sudo and Akihiro Gono and probably countless others.

the Hominick entrance in Toronto for his fight with Aldo was pretty damn awesome.
Is this list for just a particular entrance or the ten best fighters with the overall best entrances????

This isn't an entrance but was one of the most AMAZING in fight chants in the history of hand to hand combat. You could feel the electricity in the air coming thru your television straight from RIO
