His walkout song will once again be &ldquo;The Boss&rdquo; by James Brown. It&rsquo;s a track that&rsquo;s followed him through some of his biggest career moments. But this time, there&rsquo;s a twist.<\/p><p>At Wednesday&rsquo;s pre-fight press conference, the 36-year-old lightweight confirmed that rapper Lil Wayne will join him during the walkout. Poirier told reporters, <em>&ldquo;It will be a little bit of James Brown, a little bit of Wayne. Yeah, Wayne&rsquo;s walking out with me&hellip; I have to (stick with the James Brown song). I&rsquo;ve paid the cost to be the boss. On my last one, I can&rsquo;t go that far away from it. I need to hear that.

I previously wrote for Sportskeeda and hold a B.A. and M.A. in History. My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn\u2019t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren\\'t noise; they\\'re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_rudradubey__\/","https:\/\/x.com\/Rudradubey1997"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/rudra\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75231"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75231"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75231\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75247,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75231\/revisions\/75247"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
