Vattalles comes to the cage accompanied by Biggie "The Notorious B.I.G." (ft. Eminem) - Dead Wrong . Gracie has chosen Tupac - Last Muthafucka Breathin' as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
