Tom Lawlor chose Madonna’s ‘Like a Prayer’ for his entrance music at UFC 196

Entering UFC 196, fighters are typically focused on their opponent and nothing else. But not Tom Lawlor. Instead of the cheesy intense song to get him hyped up before his fight against Corey Anderson, he took a different route and came out to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.”

Lawlor is known for his over-the-top entrances before heading to the octagon, but this is one of his best. He has come out as Apollo Creed and even Hulk Hogan.

We wonder if he got Madonna’s—and pro wrestler Grado’s—blessing to do it. Nevertheless, this is awesome.
