Travis Galbraith withdraws from Shine Fight event; David Heath faces “Ninja” Rua

Just days before the upstart Shine Fight Promotions’ first pay-per-view
event, the organization has been forced to juggle its main-card lineup.

PRIDE, EliteXC and King of the Cage veteran Travis Galbraith, who
was scheduled to meet Murilo ‘Ninja’ Rua in the evening’s
co-main event, has withdrawn from Saturday’s “Worlds Collide: Mayorga
vs. Thomas” event following a disagreement with the organization over
travel arrangements.

“I’m really disappointed,” Galbraith told MMAjunkie.com. “I was really looking forward to fighting ‘Ninja.’
Him and his brother are the whole reason I started fighting MMA.”
