Pereira’s walkout has grown into a cultural moment in MMA because the heavy drums and sharp guitar riffs set a tone that fans instantly recognise. Fighters often say the atmosphere shifts when that music hits because it mirrors the cold composure that defines Pereira’s style.

The young fighter, who goes by the name 'Kid Dynamite', tried to recreate the walkout effortlessly. The crowd seemed to enjoy it, but the bout barely had time to settle. A clean right hand landed in the opening seconds, and the fighter fell flat on the canvas.

Page pointed out that the walkout feels like part of Pereira’s identity rather than a manufactured bit. Speaking about the Brazilian's personality, Rogan said:

“Like Pereira, his personality is stonefaced. Just stonefaced destroyer, death machine. Here he comes. Amazon warrior. Like literal, actual Amazon warrior. Like, not a faker. His fu*king family comes from a tribe in Amazon. But then that's what he markets"

Page added:

"I do it myself when he's walking out. I'm just waiting for him... You're selling your story with just something so simple."
