Israel Adesanya made the long walk to the Octagon at UFC 276 by channeling The Undertaker.
Complete with an urn and a black hat, Undertaker's familiar gong and theme guided Adesanya to the cage.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani, Taker said of Adesanya's tribute, “I thought it was great! He’s not only a great fighter, he’s an awesome entertainer as well! Tyson Fury gets knocked down & sits up like the Undertaker and Adesanya uses my walkout! Pretty damn cool!”
I asked @undertaker what he thought of @stylebender’s walkout:
