Shootfighting, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Judo, Karate VS Striker

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

Sakurai Tactics

Veteran

"Hayato Sakurai is a seasoned grappler with a strong ground game and decent striking defense, but his striking offense is limited and he often relies on takedowns to control fights."

Hurley Tactics

Veteran

"Joe Hurley is a veteran fighter with solid striking metrics, including high striking accuracy and significant striking damage, but limited grappling experience and a mediocre record."
