Posted on 20 November 202520 November 2025 By mmehandy No Comments on Video: Julien Leblanc Doesn’t Know Who He’s Fighting in 4 Days At Samourai MMA 17

In this exclusive interview, Samourai MMA Middleweight Champion Julien Leblanc drops some shocking news.

Leblanc (9-2 MMA) was set to defend his title against Brazilian Neemias Santana this Friday night in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.

But Julien tells MM-eh Andy that Santana was removed last week for as-yet unknown reasons, and that Samourai has not one, but two different opponents preparing to replace him. Two fighters, two plane tickets, two sets of medicals.

Who are these fighters and which one will ultimately fight Leblanc. Keep tuned to MM-EH.ca, Canada’s undisputed MMA website. Make sure that you follow us on our socials as well.

On June 13, 2026 Ash stepped into the cage to do what he loves most—compete and test himself as a mixed martial artist. Unfortunately, during the fight, he suffered a devastating leg break that immediately ended the bout and changed the course of the months ahead.

Following the injury, Ash was transported to the local hospital to receive specialized surgical care. He now faces surgery, a lengthy recovery process, rehabilitation, and months away from work while his leg heals.

Like many athletes, Ash dedicates countless hours to training and competing, often making sacrifices to pursue his passion. This unexpected injury has created significant financial strain, including medical-related travel expenses, accommodation costs, rehabilitation, and lost income during his recovery.

We're asking for support from friends, family, teammates, the MMA community, and anyone willing to help ease the burden during this difficult time.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping Ash cover living expenses, recovery costs, and focus on healing without the added stress of financial uncertainty.

If you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and generosity. Together, we can help Ash get back on his feet and continue the fight outside the cage.
