Style Matchup

Striker VS Striker

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

Ruediger Tactics

Prospect

"Gabe Ruediger is an aggressive striker with some grappling skills, but his low accuracy and takedown defense raise concerns about his upside."

Gaethje Tactics

Veteran

"Justin Gaethje is a veteran striker with a high-volume and aggressive style, and is considered one of the most exciting fighters in the lightweight division."
