Striker VS Striker
"Striker vs Striker — High-octane standup battle expected. Reach, volume, and defensive footwork will separate these two."
Hope Tactics
Elite"Dakota Hope is a high-volume striker with a strong record, but his grappling skills are underdeveloped, making him a one-dimensional threat in the cage."
Gaethje Tactics
Veteran"Justin Gaethje is a veteran striker with a high-volume and aggressive style, and is considered one of the most exciting fighters in the lightweight division."
