In case you didn’t know, Prince notoriously hated when others performed his music. But if the legend himself was still with us, I bet even he’d get a kick out of what Junior Dos Santos did on Wednesday.
The former UFC heavyweight champion, obviously feeling the Prince vibes while in Minneapolis for UFC on ESPN 3, gave us an impromptu karaoke performance during media day and sang Prince’s iconic “Purple Rain” in front of the cameras.
It’s wonderful, and you should definitely watch in the video above.
The singing itself is on point, but perhaps my favorite part is how Dos Santos volunteered to sing without even being asked. Prince’s music has a way of doing that to you.
