Style Matchup

Striker VS Striker

"Striker vs Striker — High-octane standup battle expected. Reach, volume, and defensive footwork will separate these two."

Ngannou Tactics

Elite

"Francis Ngannou is a dominant striker with a strong striking game, but his grappling skills are underdeveloped and he relies heavily on his striking."

Gaziev Tactics

Contender

"Shamil Gaziev is a solid all-around fighter with a decent striking and grappling game, but he needs to develop more power and aggression to become a top contender in the heavyweight division."
