Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arturo Gatti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gatti 's entrance music is Change . A fine choice. Taylor has chosen This Fire Burns as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
