Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, Greco Roman Wrestling, Judo, Taekwondo Running VS Grappler

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

Starnes Tactics

Veteran

"Kalib Starnes is a veteran striker with solid skills, but his grappling game is a concern, particularly his takedown defense and vulnerability to submissions."

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."
