The "IFL: New Blood New Battles" event will take place on 4th April in Izod Center, East Rutherford, NJ, USA. Here is the card:
Will be interesting to see if Belorussian Vladimir Matyushenko (20-3) will be able to defend his IFL light heavyweight title against Jamal Patterson.Championship Bouts
Jay Hieron vs. Mark Miller
Wagnney Fabiano vs. Shad Lierley
Jamal Patterson vs. Vladimir MatyushenkoMidwest Combat vs Renzo Gracie Jiu-jitsu

Rafael Dias vs. LC Davis
Emyr Bussade vs. Jesse Lennox
Carmelo Marrero vs. Mike CiesnoleviczAdditional Bouts
Nate Lamotte vs. Chris Horodecki
Alex Schoenauer vs. Brendan Barrett
Among other fights, additional interest is drawn by the Nate Lamotte vs. Chris Horodecki bout. Chris Horodecki was (and still is) a very hyped fighter, whose only loss came in his last fight, when he fought Ryan Schultz on 29 December last year. Will be interesting to see, if Horodecki will be able to come back from the first loss in his career.

Matyushenko would be better-served moving on from the IFL. He got his career on track and could compete in the top of 205 somewhere else.
Not sure that he will be paid in the UFC as well as in the IFL (not that I know how much he gets). Sometimes it's better to be the best among the second league, that to risk your career in the top division.
