Style Matchup

Striker VS Grappler

"Striker vs Grappler — Classic MMA clash. If the fight stays standing, the striker holds the edge. Takedown defense will be decisive."

Dodson Tactics

Elite

"John Dodson is a highly skilled and experienced striker with a strong record, but his grappling skills are limited and he may struggle against well-rounded opponents."

Shelton Tactics

Prospect

"Eric Shelton is a developing grappler with a strong takedown game, but his striking is underdeveloped and he can be vulnerable to submissions."
