UFC 325 will light up the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia tonight, with a card packed with fighters from the Australasia region. It marks the UFC’s second numbered event in 2026 and the first return to the “Harbour City” since UFC 312 in February 2025.
The fight card is headlined by a rematch, with reigning featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski putting his title on the line against Diego Lopes in the main event. The co-main event also promises fireworks, with a potential lightweight barnburner between Dan Hooker and Benoit Saint Denis.
UFC 325: What Walkout Numbers Do Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes Use?
Walkouts are often the heartbeat of a big fight card, sending energy through the arena as the crowd erupts and the stakes feel heavier with every step a fighter takes toward battle. Octagon.
Here’s a closer look at several strike numbers UFC325 fighters have leaned on them in previous appearances.
With a 14-3 UFC record, Alexander Volkanovski is set to make the first defense of his featherweight title in his second reign as champion. The 37-year-old Aussie reclaimed the 145-pound crown at UFC 314 in April 2025, scoring an impressive unanimous decision victory over Diego Lopes.
When it comes to walkout music, Volkanovski believes in sticking to a tried and true formula. Since his UFC debut against Yusuke Kasuya in November 2016, “The Great” has made the walk to the Octagon with the unmistakable opening notes of Australian rock icons Down Under. “Men at work”. Over the years, the 1981 classic has become inseparable from Volkanovski himself.
Meanwhile, Lopes, who has a 6-2 record inside the Octagon, bounced back emphatically from his loss to Volkanovski. The Brazilian standout delivered a spinning elbow knockout of Jean Silva at Noche UFC in September 2025.
While his walkout music often changed from fight to fight, the 31-year-old has recently gravitated toward the energetic regional Mexican anthem. “La Chona” from Los Tucanes de Tijuana, a lively choice that perfectly matches his aggressive style.
UFC 325: What Walkout Numbers Do Dan Hooker, Benoit Saint Denis & Others Use?
Dan Hooker heads into UFC 325 with a UFC record of 14-9 after a setback against Arman Tsarukyan at UFC Qatar last November. Now 35, the veteran lightweight has never committed to a single strike song, but frequently changes up his entrance music.
Before his fight with Tsarukyan, “The Hangman” made his walk to the Octagon “I hate being sober” by Chief Keef, featuring 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa.
For his appearance at UFC 305, on the other hand, Hooker opted for a completely different atmosphere and walked out “Who I smoked” from Fastmoney Goon, Spinabenz and Yungeen Ace.
On the other hand, Benoît Saint Denis enters UFC 325 with an 8-3 UFC record and is coming off a first-round knockout win over Beneil Dariush at UFC 322.
“God of War” has shown consistency when it comes to its walkout music, staying true to the gritty war song throughout its career “The Song of the Commandos” by NTM. The choice is very personal and serves as a tribute to his background in the French army, where he served in the elite special forces.
