Fight for Your LifeGotthard
Andy Hug, one of the K-1 Four Kings.
Although he sadly passed away from leukemia, he kept it secret even from his family and departed at the young age of 35, remaining an active fighter until the very end.
As that episode shows, his passion for martial arts was extraordinary.
Despite his smaller physique and occasional losses to top-tier opponents like Ernesto Hoost and Peter Aerts, he used study and grit to take revenge and win in rematches.
His entrance theme, “Fight for Your Life,” is a serious track that captures his quietly burning passion for combat sports.
Super StarKOHH
Koji Takeda excelled in wrestling from his elementary school days, achieving various results before switching to mixed martial arts.
After making his professional debut with BRAVE and capturing a title in DEEP, he joined RIZIN in 2019.
His entrance theme is “Super Star” by hip-hop MC KOHH.
The track is notable for its solemn atmosphere unfolding at a relaxed tempo, evoking an image of confronting one’s own heart.
The lyrics seem to express a resolve to pursue one’s goals, and the song conveys a quiet fighting spirit.
It feels as though it teaches that overcoming oneself is the first step toward moving into the future.

“Burning Heart” is a song included on the Rocky IV soundtrack, and it was used as Koki Kameda’s entrance theme.
It’s well known that he loved the Rocky series, and this song stoked his fighting spirit.
He was popular for his character as well, but what really stands out from his active years are the performances that truly fired up his own competitive drive.

Mahmoud Sattari is a kickboxer who boasts top-tier skills in the cruiserweight division of the new K-1.
Until his loss to the Romanian fighter Stefan Lătescu, he had been stacking up only wins, and he’s regarded as capable of competing with the world’s best from promotions like GLORY and ONE.
Lately, he’s also been active as a YouTuber.
His entrance song is “Astronomia,” which many of you may know since it’s often used as background music on TikTok and YouTube.

My Love Is Your LoveWhitney Houston
Miyuu Yamamoto made her mark as a wrestler, achieving results at the All-Japan Championships and the World Championships before switching to mixed martial arts in 2016.
After the switch, she competed in RIZIN that same year, drawing on her wrestling experience while continuing to evolve as a fighter.
Her entrance song is Whitney Houston’s “My Love Is Your Love.” It’s a track characterized by its gentle atmosphere and soaring vocals.
The song expresses the idea of love that lasts forever, which might seem unrelated to the image of combat.
Yet it feels like the perfect entrance theme to convey Miyuu Yamamoto’s life—entering battle with profound love for someone dear held close to her heart.

RENA, who boasts absolute dominance in the world of women’s combat sports.

It was also striking that, despite being on hiatus, Asia Engineer performed it live at RIZIN.20.
The lyrics, which repeat the powerful phrase from the title, couldn’t be more perfect for a walkout song.
Incidentally, when RENA posted about the track on social media, it drew a big response from many fans.

Ayaka Hamasaki, known for her skillful submission game, makes her entrance to the track “PRINCE OF YOKOHAMA.” The song was created by rapper Cypress Ueno and Roberto Yoshino.
