UFC fighter Michael ‘Venom’ Page made quite the impression at UFC 299 with an epic tribute to WWE’s ‘Phenom’ The Undertaker.
UFC 299 took place on March 9, 2024, at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. To the backdrop of speculation about the much-anticipated UFC 300 show, UFC 299 was headlined by Sean O’Malley vs. Marlon Vera. Though Vera won their first encounter at UFC 252 in August 2020, this week’s event saw O’Malley get the win a unanimous decision victory after five rounds.
Page’s Undertaker Entrance
Michael ‘Venom’ Page, also known as MVP, arrived to his fight with Ken Holland to the iconic theme song of The Undertaker. While he didn’t don the Deadman’s trademark coat and hat, Page wore a black cloak for this portion of his entrance. You can see Page’s entrance down below.

Not only did Page make an Undertaker-themed entrance, but he also matched the Deadman’s dominance in the cage as he’d win the fight via decision in the third round.
Wrestling Themes and UFC
At UFC 276, Israel Adesanya went one further, using an entrance based on The Undertaker. In addition to using the Phenom’s theme song, Adesanya wore an Undertaker-themed hat and solemnly walked to the cage with an urn. At that same event, Jessica Rose-Clark would walk to the cage for her fight to the theme of one of The Undertaker’s greatest rivals: Shawn Michaels.
More recently, Chris Curtis used Adam Copeland’s theme at UFC 297. When the UFC returned to Calgary, Alberta in July 2018, it was fitting that Ion Cutelaba walked out to Bret Hart’s WWE theme
