Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dylan Travis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Travis comes to the cage accompanied by Atmosphere - Bleed Slow. Jackson has chosen Hustlin as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
