Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between LeRoy LeBlanc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randall Swain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). LeBlanc comes into the arena with Tèrez Montcalm - Sweet Dreams blaring out of the sound system. Swain is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Boston - More Than a Feeling. 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.
