UFC Vegas 46 (ESPN 32) was a special night as it marked the return of a near three-week break from the usual weekly bouts that fight fans have grown accustomed to watching. The fact that this bout was the first official UFC fight of 2022 made it a special occasion in itself. After three weeks of zero fights being broadcasted, most MMA fans probably would have been willing to watch two cockroaches fight as a legitimate source of live combat sports entertainment, so to be able to watch any UFC fight was already a big enough reason for fight fans to tune in. The fact that is also marked the one year return of title contender, Calvin Kattar’s epic loss to Max Holloway, where he sustained more than 700 blows to the body, head and face all without being knocked out, made it even a more highly anticipated and welcomed bout. Kattar, just like his last fight, put on an iconic performance that earned him an additional 50k for FOTN (Fight of the Night) and the unanimous decision win over fellow rising contender, and overall kickboxing badass, Giga Chicadze. Besides the physical and technical skills that are required for a fighter to be able to step into the cage, their choice of workout and walkout music also plays an important role in a fighters mindset on their way to the cage. Listen to the songs that the fighters of UFC Vegas 46/ESPN 32: Kattar VS Chicadze leveled up with on their way to the cage.
