They have brushes they can use on each other and two circles on the mat that they can only touch 3 times before losing. Kaz's brushes are on her knee pads. Leon misses brush shots early and gets Kaz in the leg, leading her to touching one of the circles. They both try to push each other on them then Kaz goes down again on a circle.

Leon misses a spin kick and Kaz tries to roll her up. Leon then rolls her up and trips over back onto a circle.

Kaz tries to catapult Leon over a circle and she lands on it with her knee but that wasn't supposed to happen and everyone is confused. The match continues anyway and Leon tries to spear her onto a circle but ends up on it herself and loses.

The finish was bogus here. Leon touched the circle early and the match should have stopped. They were all totally confused and made it clear that Leon basically lost, but refused to stop the match anyway. Look, if you're going to have stupid rules, at least follow them.

This was a very stiff match and is exactly what you would want out of these two. There wasn't a real story to it, but they beat the crap out of each other and I liked it.

Overall thoughts: The Kazuki/Leon match was a total disaster but the rest of the show was good and the main was really good.
