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."

Matsumoto Tactics

Veteran

"Jean Matsumoto is a well-rounded veteran with a strong skillset, but his inconsistent performances and lack of a dominant style make him a mid-tier fighter."
