Style Matchup

Grappler VS Striker

"Grappler vs Striker — The grappler needs to close distance and secure takedowns early. The striker must keep it on the feet."

Zeferino Tactics

Veteran

"Joao Zeferino is a seasoned grappler with a strong defensive stance, but his limited striking output and low takedown accuracy make him a less formidable opponent in well-rounded matchups."

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."
