Striker VS Combat Sambo

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

Santa Maria Tactics

Journeyman

"Jonathan Santa Maria is a skilled striker with strong defensive skills, but his lack of grappling output and balanced record make him a journeyman in the division."

Nurmagomedov Tactics

Elite

"Umar Nurmagomedov is an elite grappler with exceptional takedown skills and dominant wrestling, making him a top contender in the bantamweight division."
