Style Matchup

Submission wrestling VS Sanda

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

Shields Tactics

Veteran

"Jake Shields is a seasoned grappler with a strong ground game, but his striking defense and takedown accuracy have declined with age."

Salikhov Tactics

Veteran

"A well-rounded veteran with a strong record, but inconsistent striking and grappling numbers make his base style difficult to determine."
