Rousey originally used the song “Sex and Violence” by The Exploited, but the song wasn’t exactly fit for broadcast in the eyes of Showtime. “I’m more on the theatrical side, so I needed something gritty, with a lot of attitude.” “Lots of professional fighters want their walkout song to sound like the “Rocky” theme-you know, regal and inspiring,” Rousey said. Rousey spoke to Wall Street Journal about her choice of her now iconic walkout music.
