The highly anticipated UFC Perth event is set to ignite the RAC Arena in Western Australia with a compelling lineup of fights. This marks the fifth time the MMA promotion has graced “The Fair City,” and its first return since hosting a Fight Night card in September 2025.
The main event features a crucial welterweight clash between former champion Jack Della Maddalena and the fifth-ranked contender Carlos Prates. In the co-main event, the experienced lightweight Beneil Dariush will face the promising prospect Quillan Salkilld in what is expected to be an exciting encounter.
UFC Perth: Jack Della Maddalena and Carlos Prates’ Walkout Tunes
Fighter walkouts are an integral part of any fight card, setting the atmosphere in the arena before the action begins. They elevate the energy and build anticipation, adding an extra layer of excitement as each bout approaches.
Here’s a look at the walkout songs that several fighters on the UFC Perth card have selected for their past Octagon appearances.
Jack Della Maddalena, with an 8-1 UFC record, returns to the Octagon after facing his first defeat in the promotion. He lost his welterweight title to Islam Makhachev via unanimous decision at UFC 322 last November. The 29-year-old Australian had previously captured the 170-pound crown with a decision victory over Belal Muhammad at UFC 315 in May 2025.
When it comes to his entrance music, Della Maddalena has maintained consistency, much like his performances. He frequently walks out to “T.N.T.” by the legendary Australian hard rock band AC/DC.
Carlos Prates enters UFC Perth with a 6-1 Octagon record, propelled by a first-round knockout victory over former welterweight champion Leon Edwards at UFC 322. His sole loss in the promotion was a close unanimous decision defeat to Ian Machado Garry at UFC Kansas City in April 2025.
Similar to his opponent, “The Nightmare” has remained faithful to a signature walkout track throughout his career, consistently making his way to the Octagon to “Purple Lamborghini” by Skrillex and Rick Ross.
