Nakao Tactics
Veteran"Jutaro Nakao is a seasoned veteran with a solid striking game, but his grappling skills are limited and often leave him vulnerable to takedowns."
Nelson Tactics
Veteran"Gunnar Nelson is a skilled grappler with a strong submission game and solid wrestling skills, but his striking is not his strong suit."
