I honestly think Ling Yao VS Gajeel Redfox and Ban VS Free fit better

Ling Yao VS Gajeel Redfox - Black-Haired former antagonists who joined the main organization of their groups, but beforehand had a fierce rivalry with the main hot-headed protagonists of their respective anime, only for them to grow mutual respect for them cuz of their insane willpower and raw strength. Both have a moveset that involves coating their body in a specific kind of metal, whether partially for increased strength, or fully to form an ultimate shield of sorts, gaining a rather monsterous appearance (and got their moveset cuz of a being inside their body, which are rather greedy and selfish, and fully composed of metal, said monster being there to complete a goal involving the main antagonist, which relates to the main protagonist in some way, Gajeel used to have Metalicana's soul inside his body to prevent his body from turning into a dragon over the years so Gajeel can assist in the defeat of Acnologia; one of the original Dragon Slayers much like Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting and Rogue themselfs, and Ling Yao used to be the host of one of the Homonculus; Greed, so Greed can live on to serve the main antagonist, only to die at his 'Father' 's very own hands, Father heavily resembling Edward Elric's own father). And it's got the Magic VS Science theme to it, and Brain VS Brawn, and opposite exterior to mask their true personality, Gajeel acts all tough and gruff to hide his soft and compasionate side of his personality, and Ling acts rather goofy and comical to hide his cold inside.

Ban VS Free - i don't exactly know the connection on this one, but i thought it'd make for a fine replacement since i think Ling should fight Gajeel.
