As the fight took place in Detroit, Michigan, home of Motown; Motown artists The Temptations performed their 1966 hit "Get Ready" before Hamed's entrance. After The Temptations were done with their performance, Hamed entered the arena to Mase's 1999 hit, also titled "Get Ready". His entrance consisted of him coming down a runway, pyrotechnics, and him getting on a microphone and hyping up the crowd.
