Style Matchup

Grappler VS Striker

"Grappler vs Striker — The grappler needs to close distance and secure takedowns early. The striker must keep it on the feet."

Shelton Tactics

Prospect

"Eric Shelton is a developing grappler with a strong takedown game, but his striking is underdeveloped and he can be vulnerable to submissions."

Thicknesse Tactics

Contender

"Colby Thicknesse is a well-rounded fighter with a strong record, but his striking and grappling numbers are not particularly impressive, making him a contender in the 135lbs weight class."
