Style Matchup

Striker VS Striker

"Striker vs Striker — High-octane standup battle expected. Reach, volume, and defensive footwork will separate these two."

Sakai Tactics

Veteran

"Augusto Sakai is a seasoned striker with a balanced skillset, but his grappling defense and takedown accuracy leave room for improvement."

Gaziev Tactics

Contender

"Shamil Gaziev is a solid all-around fighter with a decent striking and grappling game, but he needs to develop more power and aggression to become a top contender in the heavyweight division."
