Style Matchup

MMA, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Shooto VS Grappler

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

Mello Tactics

Veteran

"Fabio Mello is a well-rounded veteran with a strong striking game, but his grappling statistics are lacking, making him a more one-dimensional fighter."

Nelson Tactics

Veteran

"Gunnar Nelson is a skilled grappler with a strong submission game and solid wrestling skills, but his striking is not his strong suit."
