Fun fact: Rory had 5 wins, 8 losses and one draw after switching his nickname to Red King.

He was 18-2 before he became the “Red King”.

Trained with him once. Lived in the same town as him. Always cheered for Rory, but the nickname Red King is where everything went downhill. That war with Lawler took a piece of his soul.

He was Rory “Ares” MacDonald for 90% of his UFC career. Changed it to “Red King” before the epic title fight with Lawler.

“Waterboy” in King of the Cage.

Rory Mac is a guy that doesnt get mentioned enough. Dude was one tough bastard and a hell of a fighter. I couldnt give a fuck what his nickname is even though it’s silly. Dude’s a savage in the cage.

MMA Fighting reports that through a snafu with a changed phone number, Rory’s walkout music was being selected by an unknown fan.

“Not that I really cared. It’s not the biggest deal for me. It’s just music, you know. Whatever. I was kind of frustrated. It was weird. Joe Rogan was making fun of me for my music. I’m like, ‘Aw man, this sucks a little bit.’”

Eventually, as MacDonald explains, the jig was up. An impromptu chat with ‘Jason’ the producer lead the two to figure out there was a third party there directing things in their own amusing way.

"And then one day - I can’t remember what the fight was - but Jason comes up to me and he’s like, ‘Oh man, sorry we can’t play such-and-such song.’ He named the song and I was like, ‘What are you talking about, man?’ I think it was a Nickelback song. He’s like, ‘You said you wanted this song when I texted you.’ I’m like, ‘Dude, I never said that.’

“He’s like, ‘I’ll show you.’ He showed me and I said, ‘Dude, that’s my old number. Who are you talking to?’ So he calls the guy and is like, ‘Dude, this is not Rory MacDonald. You’re faking.’ He’s like,’ Oh yeah, I’m just a fan. I was just pretending.'”

“Ares” says the mix-up wasn’t caught for a few years. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t until he faced Che Mills at UFC 145 that he began to choose his own songs, and cited Rihanna and Metallica as some of the music he’s picked recently.

Here’s the list of his walk out music via Tapology:
