I spoke to the guys over at the XCFL today and they have booked two title fights for their March 26 event at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. The first is a 185 pound title fight between Dan Keefe and Lance Everson. Both guys have great wrestling and both like to use their ground and pound to dominate their opponent. It’ll be interesting to see who dominates, and who gets dominated on March 26.

Their other title fight features two of the areas best 145 pound fighters making their debut at 135 fighting for the vacant bantam weight title. Tateki Matsuda is set to take on Anthony Leone. Matsuda will have a big advantage in the stand up, but Leone is a dominant wrestler with great submissions. Leone tends to push the pace a bit more than the composed Matsuda, and that is what’s going to make this interesting. Matsuda will have to time the rush of Leone and catch him coming in, because as good as Matsuda is on the ground, I don’t see him winning this fight if Leone can keep him on his back.

More fights are going to be announced in the coming weeks.
