Style Matchup

Striker VS Striker

"Striker vs Striker — High-octane standup battle expected. Reach, volume, and defensive footwork will separate these two."

Appelt Tactics

Veteran

"Josh Appelt is a powerful striker with a strong chin, but his grappling skills are underdeveloped and leave him vulnerable to submission attacks."

Gaziev Tactics

Contender

"Shamil Gaziev is a solid all-around fighter with a decent striking and grappling game, but he needs to develop more power and aggression to become a top contender in the heavyweight division."
