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

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

Kazama Tactics

Contender

"Toshiomi Kazama is a grappling specialist with a strong submission game and solid takedown defense, making him a formidable opponent in the division with a clear path to victory."
