Grappler VS Striker

"Grappler vs Striker — The grappler needs to close distance and secure takedowns early. The striker must keep it on the feet."

Shibata Tactics

Unknown

"Katsuyori Shibata's struggles in his career may be attributed to his below-average striking and grappling skills, making it tough for him to compete at a high level."

Drago Tactics

Prospect

"Jimmy Drago is a young and promising striker with a strong chin and decent grappling defense, but he needs to develop his skills further to become a top contender."
