The legendary Bob Marley once uttered, “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”
However, if the following collection of tracks is anything to go by, some of MMA’s best have certainly tried to make an impact.
Each year, Fighters Only’s World MMA Awards have featured musical interludes featuring spoof pop videos starring some of the biggest stars of the sport as they poke fun at themselves for their peers’ entertainment during the annual black-tie get-together in Las Vegas.
The songs are all the brainchild of MMA-loving stand-up comedian Adam Hunter, who also has his own comedy special coming soon to UFC Fight Pass.
Here’s a sneak peek…
