Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Moacyr Domingos De Matos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and LeRoy LeBlanc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Matos comes to the cage accompanied by Kick Ass. LeBlanc is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Tèrez Montcalm - Sweet Dreams. 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.
