This weekend, the UFC will play host to one of the biggest fights of all time when Brock Lesnar squares off against Randy Couture for the heavyweight championship. To get ourselves psyched for this clash of the titans, this Rock List is dedicated to fight songs. Tell us the tunes that stress punching, kicking and generally raise your bloodlust, and on Monday we’ll reveal the readers’ picks. Before you lace up the gloves and trying to slap on that gogoplata, check out our favorites:

Elton John - “Saturday Night Night’s Alright (For Fighting)”
The Rolling Stones - “Street Fighting Man”
AC/DC - “If You Want Blood (You Got It)”
Talking Heads - “Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)”
