Grappler VS Boxing, BJJ

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

Starks Tactics

Prospect

"Clifford Starks is a developing grappler with a strong takedown game, but his striking skills are lacking and he's often on the back foot."

Malkoun Tactics

Contender

"Jacob Malkoun is an aggressive wrestler with a high takedown average and decent striking, making him a promising contender at 185lbs."
