Joaquin Buckley’s viral knockout from UFC Fight Island 5 has now inspired its own theme music from one of the biggest hip-hop artists on the planet.
Rapper and presidential candidate Kanye West dropped a surprise track late Tuesday night after he was inspired by Buckley’s jaw-dropping spinning heel kick knockout over Impa Kasanganay.

The awe-inspiring move was unlike anything ever seen before in the UFC and it earned Buckley a long list of accolades with many calling his finish one of the greatest knockouts in the history of the sport.
He was later rewarded with a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus from the UFC.
Now Buckley can add West as a fan after the multi-time Grammy winner released new music set to his all-time great knockout.
“The whole team is so energized that I had to release theme music,” West wrote on Twitter.
West has been quite busy lately in the middle of a run to become President of the United States while also working on new music as well obviously.
If nothing else, Buckley will at least gain a new walkout track for his next fight in the UFC.
