Ghostface killah - conditioning.
“I still jog in the hills of Brazil
12 eggs and my conditioning coach is Anderson Sil
He a prize fighter and me I'm a prize writer
Time ya'll industry n*ggas recognize fire”
he’s boys with aljo, he’s a playable character on UFC 4 and goes on rogan’s pod and knows a good bit about old fighters, the classics. pretty sure Action is the biggest artist involved with MMA period.
"If it's my last dance underneath the moonlight
Fire in my blue eyes—baby, this is true life
I'm in the bed with two dykes
Watchin' Tyson Fury vers' Francis Ngannou fight "
That one made me chuckle when I first heard Nourish a Thug, especially how he pronounced Ngannou
sometimes lyrics read in text sounds really bad. this is one of those times.
hey everyone what is your favorite rap song or one of them. mine is Satish by Tee Grizzley
I’ve always wondered, did he mean he’s putting her on her back like Chunky would with a takedown, or does he mean she looks like she’s pulling guard like Chunky after he gets hurt, ass and legs up?
The real questions
Drake has a Max shoutout in one of his songs, can't remember which one though.
Central Cee has a song just called Khabib, samples him talking as well. Pretty decent song actually.
Meyhem Lauren, Madlib & DJ Muggs ft. Action Bronson - Szechuan Capital:
Bronson's verse: "Pop his head, with the rear naked choke
Straight from Islam Makhachev"
*
Revolutionary Rhythm - Break It Down
Predominance's verse: "Every man for himself, like Brian Ortega, coming back for the belt"
Kid Abstract's verse: "Keep it real witty, the Abs's got it locked, hold it down like T-City"
Not in English but there's a song used in the movie "Hustle" called Partiendonos la madre. The song talks about how the author feeling like shit and being humiliated makes him try to be better.
In a verse he says "Soy la boca abierta de cansancio de McGregor cuando Khabib tiene toda su fuerza puesta en su cuello", translates to something like "I'm McGregor's tired open mouth when Khabib has all his strength upon his neck"
Eminem ft Royce da 5'9" - Caterpillar
"You're havin' a little trouble fathomin' this is actually happenin' Like Anderson Silva when he snapped his shin in half And then had shit hangin' by a flap of skin After he tried to plant the shit back on the mat again"
forget everything else, all you need is ["G in a Gi"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBYmZsUjSFE) and ["I Love the MMA"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb4AFOYM13Y)
If you listen to any French music there’s tons of MMA references in drill/rap, Freeze Corleone and Zukou Maizie have multiple songs and refs named after fighters like Khamzat, Shavkat, Izzy etc.
I think central cee has a song named after Khabib too, I don’t like his music but that one song isn’t bad
does he have a line about putting an electrical drill through your own scrotum.
"you call me weak. say i'm whack. bitch, i just drilled through my own nutsack"
“Pop his head, with the rear naked choke
Straight from Islam Makhachev
Out the sunroof of the M5, poppin' lead
Big shit, could drop a gem, left the mop wet
I'm what forms when the ocean and the lava met”
Action Bronson, Szechuan Capital
From The Champ by Ghostface Killah:
"Who want to battle the Don?
I'm James Bond in the Octagon with 2 razors,
Bet y'all didn't know I had a fake arm
I lost it while in war, before rap, I was gettin' it on
Choke a fat nigga out in like, forty seconds
My gun get hard with a .45, steel erection"
"The news, it knocked it out me like Ronda Rousey" - Open Mike Eagle, For DOOM
"I'm in the bed with two dykes, watchin' Tyson Fury vers' Francis Ngannou fight" - Action Bronson, Nourish a Thug
Curren$y made a song during the pandemic when UFC started to hold fights in the Apex [Gold & Chrome](https://youtu.be/fiVhSI9qGHk?si=201Co7NpGz8KhEv1&t=89)
"Tucked in the crib watching UFC fights, without the crowd noise this shit don't feel right"
Royce Gracie got a lot of love over the years.
RA the Rugged Man -
“I love this/Who wanna take me?/Grapple/Take you to the ground/Like Royce Gracie”
Jedi Mind Tricks -
“My heart pumping the blood of Royce Gracie”
Heltah Skeltah -
“Slap a ho in grapple hold/Just like Royce Gracie”
The People's Champ - R.A. The Rugged Man:
"Beats always slamming like Dilla, like Ali was the man in Manilla Man or gorilla, I'm a nicer striker than Anderson Silva"
Babytron:
On beetleborgs:
“You can hear the Redeye rumble like it's Anthony Johnson.
Spent five at Saks, I was casually shoppin”
On Golden Child:
“Yeah, struggle stories but yo' baby, he been up lately.
Grab a classic credit, Justin Gaethje, I go punch crazy”
On the contrary, some rappers have no idea what they’re talking about with regard to MMA.
KXNG Crooked in Stockholm Syndrome - “then they kicking you out quicker than jiu jitsu”
2 Chainz in Can’t Go For That - “kick it like judo, the numero uno”
2 martial arts that don’t incorporate kicks. I still bump both of these songs though.
No Interruption - Hoodie Allen
“Anderson Silva. I hit ‘em’ with the high-kick”
Smokin’ Out the Window - Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak
“Put me in a jam with her ex-man in the UFC”
Billie Eilish - Armani White
“Open hand, smack him in his mitt, bitch, I’m Kimbo”
Pack a Lunch - Prof (feat. Redman)
“My real life like comic con. Sparring soccer moms in the octagon”
Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head but the references are getting more popular as the sport grows
>Pack a Lunch - Prof (feat. Redman)
>
>“My real life like comic con. Sparring soccer moms in the octagon”
That's hilarious. Redman def in the running for funniest rapper of all time
You can keep yo' drama, I don't need that sucker
See I came from the rubber, you can see my hustle
You don't know my pain, you ain't see my struggle
So my middle finger's up like I'm a Diaz brother
Hate Goes On - Jelly Roll
“Est magician team, we turn y'all cows to swiss cheese.
Bullets beat the shit out GMC's Michael Bisping” - EST Gee
“Six figures off of shit talking, I ain't got a job.
Online with more punches than a fucking octagon” - BabyTron
“I'm Mayweather, you McGregor, I'll explain the concept.
I'ma show n****s brawlin' ain't the same as boxing” - Benny the Butcher
I know I have more, I’ll update when I think of them
Robb Bank$ - Selfish
“I never let a bitch do me like Adesanya,
Leg kick the shit out a hoe if she taller”
Robb Bank$ - MPLS Freestyle
“Who the fuck got me on whisky, feel like Conor against Dustin my ankle shifty,
Bet a million I can still tap dance through minefields”
Smokedope2016 - Poppy
“In yo' PayPal bitch, yeah I'm punching like I'm Mike Perry”
Ghais Guevara - Honky’s Sleep Paralysis Demon
“Izzy vs Costa you niggas weak in the legs”
Life Vegas - Felt (Slug from Atmosphere and Murs)
And this MC won't miss no flight
Gotta holla at B, so hip-hop sight
I'mma need that cheese so the trip go right
Headin to the Octagon for some UFC
Alphabet Insanity - Mac Lethal
Mentions, Ronda Rousey, jiu-jitsu, Jacare and I believe Judo is in there as well
There's a guy on YouTube called Mac Lethal. I haven't listened to him in years - might go rewatch later tonight - but in some of his songs he definitely mentions Ronda Rousey, Lyoto Machida, and i think Jacare Souza. Can't remember if it's more than just a passing reference or not tho
*Ghostface Killah - Conditionin'*
I still jog in the hills of Brazil,
Twelve eggs and my conditioning coach is Anderson Silva,
He’s a prized fighter and me, I’m a prized writer
Bit more underground, but [Snowgoons - Three Bullets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyYo_iLBE9k)
Part of the second verse:
*The Randy Couture of this rap culture*
*When I’m done nothing left but I wrote yours*
*Oh sure everybody say they got flows*
*But they don’t wanna test cause they know I start wars*
> Nate Diaz, got the world by the tracheas
> In a chokehold and a sleeper (yeah)
> And me and Dre are like dog hair (woof)
> We're both in our lab coats like retrievers
Eminem, Gospel
Viro the Virus - rear naked choke
Got emcees taking notes, I'm the utmost cutthroat
Tap 'em out, rear naked choke
Standing guillotine, I clearly ain't a joke
If spittin's the issue my style's Brazilian jiu jitsu
"Ni aunque me tiren encima las playas de Ibiza este volcán se paraliza
Los hago cenizas, Chito Vera dándole una paliza"
-Residente, Quiero Ser Baladista
Not straight up rap, but rappy. [Hed PE - No Rest for the Wicked](https://youtu.be/R5pESe5Ww_M) references Anderson Silva at around the 1:15 mark.
"I'm Undefeated, I'm Anderson Silva"
Not a song, but KOTD (Canadian battle rap league) did an MMA bars only match. Its a bit cheesy but theres some gems there. Its old, so all the references are during the "golden era" of MMA [https://youtu.be/X9My\_ciDzuw?feature=shared&t=140](https://youtu.be/X9My_ciDzuw?feature=shared&t=140)
“The feds’ comin across,lost, a man’s dead
Dyslexic, spell dade
Street sweeper clean up the streets like cascade
They back on a rampage, like Quentin”
-Denzel curry feature on runnin the streets
JME - 96 of My Life:
“Guys getting battered outside the shops, man would stand and watch, like Herb Dean, peak”
Not sure if it’s intentional or not as a Herb diss but I found it really funny in the context of his bad stoppages.
Oh u don’t know G in a Gi?
A G in a gi might start the party
But you don't need a gi, all you need is Bacardi
Bring a CD and some Bob Marley
This shit could get heavy like tons of broccoli!
“ Step it up now, walk a tight tight rope, do the moonwalk, rear naked choke” [Ralek Gracie A G in a Gi](https://youtu.be/FBYmZsUjSFE?si=v6r3RoNotXQFroTo)
"My haters contemplate from the mat like Ronda Rousey"- Barz Simpson by Sonnyjim and the Purist feat MF DOOM and Jay Electronics
Also not MMA but my favorite line referencing combat sports is the double historic boxing shout out to old times black boxers"I'm Jack Johnson/ I beat a slave catcher snaggle toothed/ I'm Tiger Flowers with a higher power/hallelujah" -A Report to the Shareholders by Run The Jewels
I’ve been within an inch of making this thread so many times I’m glad someone finally did. Outside all of the Action Bronson bars, one I hadn’t seen mentioned was Home Sweet Home - Lloyd Banks ft. Pusha
“Pitbull, I bit my way out the cage, whats happening?
Competition got me on the Rampage, Jackson”
“The contents you put in your songs are vital, Like training for the UFC you want a title,
Slam thoughts on the canvas, flip 'em and pin 'em”
-Rakim “How to Emcee”
"Bitch I'm crazy. Came from the school of the young Royce Gracie."
-Speak! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYIJoGKh7sE
More of the lyrics here below. I remember these lyrics even if they don't make a lot of sense since I skated a ton as teen and been into jiu jitsu for a long ass time. So both of my main hobbies, plus I love hiphop. All in a few sentences that rhyme and are spit over a cool beat.
"Achy, breakey, frontside fakie. It's the Backside Boardshop, bitch I'm crazy. Came from the school of the young Royce Gracie. Stealin' from the Nordstrom's boostin' from Macy's."
Kevin Holland walked out to Mexican OT’s song “02.02.99” before he fought MVP where OT raps:
On 288, swingin' elbows like I'm in the UFC
My chopper got a mind of its own, so if it shoot, it ain't on me
Eminem: “You're having a little trouble fathoming this is actually happening, Like Anderson Silva when he snapped his shin in half And then had shit hangin' by a flap of skin After he tried to plant the shit back on the mat again”
Bad Bunny mentions Justin Gaethje in the song “Cybertruck”.
Spanish- “Justin Gaethje, los balones, Cristiano, este ritmo lo pateo”
English- “Justin Gaethje, los blones, Cristiano; I kick this rhythm”
If your bitch bout to leave better ask yourself questions like fight for her why, you better step up and fight for her like you're fighting for Hawaii, and you mothafuckin BJ Penn
Royce Da 5'9 - Flesh
Meechy darko from Flatbush Zombies: “I’m Glock Lesnar in the Octagon”
Glock Lesnar lmfao
>Glock Lesnar Was my username on Bloody Elbow; everyone just thought I was a gun nut. RIP that place.
So now people just assume you're a sexaholic and an alcoholic?
Meech comes up with the best nicknames for himself lol
Ghostface killah - conditioning. “I still jog in the hills of Brazil 12 eggs and my conditioning coach is Anderson Sil He a prize fighter and me I'm a prize writer Time ya'll industry n*ggas recognize fire”
Wow can't believe I haven't heard this before, that's a fire line. Gotta check it out now
Ghostface one of the GOATs
dude ghost face still kills it
I believe in the Mercy song, 2 Chainz says "Beat it up like Rampage."
Chinatown by Migos also has “My diamonds they kick Johnny Cage, Quentin Jackson Rampage”
Goated feature verse
drunk & high at the same time, drinking champagne on a airplane
Gotta be the best one I’ve heard
acksuhally he's referencing the old school video game Rampage where The Rock grooms a giant underage ape.
“I rampage like Quinton” - Denzel curry
He's trained in Thailand before. The whole music video for Ricky is an homage to guys like Kimbo Slice.
[https://genius.com/Mf-doom-lightworks-lyrics](https://genius.com/Mf-doom-lightworks-lyrics) MF DOOM - Lightworks entire song is about mma/ufc
Such a weird song but so good
“You’re basic elevate my skills to the type of shit that Gracie’s on. Omaplata, guard your nose Haloti Ngata.” -Action Bronson
Another one from AB, on Golden eye: "Fuck around and get your sea bass smothered, I'll choke you the fuck out like I'm a Diaz brother"
he’s boys with aljo, he’s a playable character on UFC 4 and goes on rogan’s pod and knows a good bit about old fighters, the classics. pretty sure Action is the biggest artist involved with MMA period.
"If it's my last dance underneath the moonlight Fire in my blue eyes—baby, this is true life I'm in the bed with two dykes Watchin' Tyson Fury vers' Francis Ngannou fight " That one made me chuckle when I first heard Nourish a Thug, especially how he pronounced Ngannou
Baklava has a few martial arts references about. A few muay thai ones spring to mind.
Action Bronson doesn’t surprise me at all. He is personal friends with Chito and and has been on Helwanis show too
Action is the first person I thought of when I saw this post haha
sometimes lyrics read in text sounds really bad. this is one of those times. hey everyone what is your favorite rap song or one of them. mine is Satish by Tee Grizzley
Cabin Fever by Aries has a Charlie Olives reference “Put her on her back like Charles Do Bronx How'd I get choked out for the hundredth time?”
First one I thought of, such a great song
Absolute banger like most of his songs!
I’ve always wondered, did he mean he’s putting her on her back like Chunky would with a takedown, or does he mean she looks like she’s pulling guard like Chunky after he gets hurt, ass and legs up? The real questions
Chunky
Talmbout chunky olives?
E-40 feat Too Short "Rappers Ball" "Front row seats at the ultimate fights, Shamrock and Severn" - E-40
damn that’s pre dana white.. might be the first reference
Great pull. The music video had 2Pac in it, this might be the first.
Another one from 40 Water: "I know these streets like the Gracies know jiu-jitsu" - from UGK's "The Corruptor's Execution"
Drake has a Max shoutout in one of his songs, can't remember which one though. Central Cee has a song just called Khabib, samples him talking as well. Pretty decent song actually.

No one has mentioned: I'll Beat Yo Ass by TWOOODLEY ?!
Also Action Bronson - Golden Eye; Fuck around and get your sea bass smothered I'll choke you the fuck out like I'm a Diaz brother
Not in English but there's a song used in the movie "Hustle" called Partiendonos la madre. The song talks about how the author feeling like shit and being humiliated makes him try to be better.

Think Eminem also has a song mentioning something about Diaz’s chokehold
That's on Gospel with dr Dre
"Nate Diaz got the world by the tracheas In a chokehold and a sleeper"
Fuckin looooove this song
forget everything else, all you need is ["G in a Gi"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBYmZsUjSFE) and ["I Love the MMA"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb4AFOYM13Y)
I was looking for this!!
I had to scroll way too far down to find G in a Gi
Hate that fucking G in a Gi but always gotta click on it when I see it linked to remind me how bad it was
I had forgotten about g in a gi and now I hate you.
Bruno Mars: Put me in a jam with her ex-man in the UFC
This is technically Silk Sonic - Smokin Out the Window. Still a banger
That album was so unexpected and I thank god everyday that it happened
A JID song has the bar "and kick ass like I'm Danny mainus"
Was a that a self-dig, cus apparently Mainus went 3-5
Nah more of a joke line than anything cause of this video https://youtu.be/P3WaVactj5M?si=eQSAueUmFEHbdUHl
Central Cee has a song called Khabib, as in "I stay on top like Khabib."
Pretty much any action Bronson song
If you listen to any French music there’s tons of MMA references in drill/rap, Freeze Corleone and Zukou Maizie have multiple songs and refs named after fighters like Khamzat, Shavkat, Izzy etc. I think central cee has a song named after Khabib too, I don’t like his music but that one song isn’t bad
German Rap is also full of MMA references aswell, Khabib has his own song, islam I think too. Khamzat and Cono and Izzy have ton of references.
Do you know if Gazo has any mma references in his music? From what I understand, he is acquaintances with Ciryl and Francis.
I’m sure he has one or two, I don’t listen to a lot of his solo stuff admittedly, mostly just features when he comes out with other artists I frequent
2 Chainz saying "Beat the pussy like Rampage" on Mercy lives in my head rent free
“Justin Gatheje” Cyber Truck - Bad Bunny
Bruce Mitchell has a rap album released under the name 'Thug Nasty'. One thing I will say is that he is definitely a better rapper than Tyron Woodley.
does he have a line about putting an electrical drill through your own scrotum. "you call me weak. say i'm whack. bitch, i just drilled through my own nutsack"
Nearly forgotten moments of MMA history. Thank you for reminding me of this.
“Pop his head, with the rear naked choke Straight from Islam Makhachev Out the sunroof of the M5, poppin' lead Big shit, could drop a gem, left the mop wet I'm what forms when the ocean and the lava met” Action Bronson, Szechuan Capital
“All this savageness in a cage. Whole culture is MMA.” - Marlon Craft, song is World Champ
Great song. One of my fav albums of 2022
Ghostface Killah on Mean Streets, off the Cuban Linx Pt.2 album: "Tony Stark's from the octagon, my ox is on Snap Matt Hughes' neck with my boxers on"
From The Champ by Ghostface Killah: "Who want to battle the Don? I'm James Bond in the Octagon with 2 razors, Bet y'all didn't know I had a fake arm I lost it while in war, before rap, I was gettin' it on Choke a fat nigga out in like, forty seconds My gun get hard with a .45, steel erection"
UFC actually used this for one of their UFC Rio PPV promos.
I feel like a ton of action Bronson songs mention mma
action bronson talks about an omoplata in some song
Dilated peoples (specifically Rakaa Iriscience) used to make jiu jitsu references on the Expansion Team album
I'm a poet with a warrior's spirit inside, Chokin niggas out like Rixon in PRIDE 👍

On the contrary, some rappers have no idea what they’re talking about with regard to MMA. KXNG Crooked in Stockholm Syndrome - “then they kicking you out quicker than jiu jitsu” 2 Chainz in Can’t Go For That - “kick it like judo, the numero uno” 2 martial arts that don’t incorporate kicks. I still bump both of these songs though.
