Al Iaquinta takes part in the media “work out” before finals of 15th installment of “The Ultimate Fighter” finale Wednesday, May 30, 2012.

A fighter’s choice for a walk-in song will not necessarily impact his or her performance.

But it certainly sets the tone and gets the crowd involved, which has the power to help rally a competitor to victory.

For all the trite and overused songs like Kanye West’s “All of the Lights” and the theme from Rocky, there are diamonds in the rough like the first time Yoshihiro Akiyama walked out to Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman’s operatic song “Time to Say Goodbye” at UFC 100. Tom Lawlor also upped the ante when he walked out to Olivia Newton John’s “Physical” at UFC 139, complete with hot pink sweat bands.

If you’ve ever heard a fighter’s song and thought that you could have chosen better, now is your chance to play octagon DJ. When "The Ultimate Fighter Live" contestants walk out at the live finale at The Pearl at the Palms Friday, they’ll enter to songs selected by fans. Each fighter made his top two picks and fans can vote for their favorite on Facebook.

Log on to become part of MMA history by providing the soundtrack for one lucky fighter who takes home the six-figure contract as he's crowned "The Ultimate Fighter".

UFC 158
Nick Diaz fails to back up years worth of talk

UFC 158 A welterweight title fight that felt incredibly different wound up remarkably the same. Georges St. Pierre manhandled nemesis Nick Diaz with his wrestling. St. Pierre won every round on every judges' scorecard in Montreal for his sixth straight unanimous-decision victory. Diaz had preached his superiority over St. Pierre for years, but when he finally got his chance, he looked as helpless as all the other challengers to the 170-pound division's throne in the last six years. St. Pierre's consistency continued to amaze. Now it's on to Johny Hendricks, who defeated Carlos Condit in the evening's co-main event. Could he be the one to finally threaten St. Pierre?
