Diego Lopes has a habit of changing things up when it comes to choosing his walkout songs. Back at UFC 303, when he fought Dan Ige on just 2 hours’ notice, he walked out to ‘Devastated’ by Joey Bada$$ blaring out of the speakers. Before that, Lopes chose the tunes of ‘Por Mi Mexico’ by SM Left as his walkout song for UFC 295. And for his fight against Alexander Volkanovski, the Brazilian seems ready with a new walkout song.
Not too long ago, the famed musician and former JRE guest, Steve Aoki, took to social media and shared a video with the fighting community. In the video, he revealed what the #3 featherweight contender had chosen to walk out to at UFC 314. He said, “What’s up UFC fans? This is Steve Aoki. I’ve got exciting news for you. This Saturday, UFC 314, my good friend and brother, Diego Lopes, will be walking out to my remix for the main event fight. I couldn’t be more honored. This is going to be an incredible fight. This card is already insane. Dana White always puts it together. And you know it’s gonna end in a highlight real finish. So let’s rally our support for our boy, Diego! Let’s go, Diego!” However, he didn’t reveal the name of his remix.

He wrote, “Diego for the win!!! Let’s gooooo.”
