Do we know what it will be next?

We might one day miss the gladiator and terrible music. It can get worse, as hard to imagine as that is.

No I don't know

But who cares? The only way it gets worse is if it’s Faith Hill doing the UFC theme song.

Meh.

Even then I’d say it’s a toss up.

At the risk of being killed for my opinion – I liked the gladiator!

by vanandrew on Jan 14, 2012 3:12 AM EST reply actions   1 recs

Put me in the minority I suppose.

But I liked Face the Pain or whatever the hell the name actually is. Not a good song by any stretch, but UFC’s used it for so long that I do honestly get pumped up hearing it in the opening. It’ll feel like a part of the UFC hype machine has been yanked out. I can’t imagine whatever song they choose will be any better. It’s not like we’re getting a PRIDE theme here.

The Gladiator though? I won’t miss that.

by Hawk52 on Jan 14, 2012 4:13 AM EST reply actions  

I agree

I like the theme because was I think of the UFC, I hear that song in my head. I could care less about the graphics and the intro though since the visuals feel to outdated, and I don’t like the black and gold color scheme. I hope the new graphics look as good as the UFC on Versus theme, and not the generic Fox sports graphics.

I like the black and red color palate a lot:

WHAT IS GOING ON??!!!

YYUUUUSSS?

Na, I didn’t mind the intro that much. Though I can’t stand the vast majority of nu-metal. Or Face The Pain.

Just use the Pride theme

Or something epic and orchestral…with a flavor similar to this once it gets going.

Strikeforce has been doing that for years

And it’s so much better.

Here’s a few composers I’d love for the UFC to hire for an epic instrumental intro.

Jim Thirwell
Yokko Kanno
Shawn Lee
Ken Vandermark
Mono (the Japanese band)
Boris (likewise)
Henry Threadgill

if you’re absolutely married to the grunt-metal idea, why not get somebody who does it right, like The Sword or Pelican or High on Fire or Earthless or…

This is an oule.

I was wondering why those gladiator breast plates were half off at ufcshop.com. Guess I’m gonna feel silly when I show up at the bar later and find out the new intro is some sort of techno music with an endless Just Bleed gif loop. Oh well, I’ll look cool in my sandals no matter what.

I will be pissed if we trade the metal sound for some dubstep sounding bullshit

I just hope they put some thought into the highlight videos and use some awesome songs.

Does anyone actually know for sure whether or not it will be gone tonight?

I mean, it could just be the FOX/FX portions that are changed…
