Whenever UFC welterweight veteran Stephen ”Wonderboy” Thompson walks to the octagon, the speakers always blast the song ‘Wonderboy’ by the American rock band Tenacious D.
Stepping into the cage on Saturday’s UFC main event against Kevin Holland, Thompson will be joined by none other than the band’s singer, the world famous actor Jack Black.
“I got Jack Black to walk me out,” Thompson recently told Won’t Back Down Radio. “He may lip sync or something, but I don’t think he’s gonna sing it. He asked me ‘how cool would it be if I walked you out?’”
”I would be just happy if he was at the fight, the management took care of it from there, and made it happen.”
