Striker VS Wrestling

"Tactical wildcard matchup — Both fighters bring unique tools to the cage. Adaptability and game planning will be key."

Hanekom Tactics

Prospect

"Chad Hanekom is a relatively unknown prospect with a strong striking background, but his grappling skills are underdeveloped and may leave him vulnerable to submissions."

Vanderford Tactics

Contender

"Austin Vanderford is a skilled grappler with a high output and decent defense, but his striking skills are a concern."
