UFC 318: Which songs have Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier walked out to?

For his promotional debut against Josh Grispi at UFC 125, Dustin Poirier used 'Drop the World' by Lil Wayne. Over time, 'The Boss' by James Brown became his trademark walkout song.

On occasion, he has combined it with Willie Spence’s rendition of 'Diamonds' by Rihanna. For UFC 318, Poirier will once again walk out to 'The Boss,' joined live by Lil Wayne in what will be a celebratory farewell in his home state of Louisiana.

Max Holloway has largely remained consistent with his entrance music. He walks out to 'Hawaiian Kickboxer' by Moke Boy. He used the same song at UFC 308 for his title fight against Ilia Topuria, with an intro setup of 'Naruto Shippuden - Girei (Pain's Theme Song).'
