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."
Rowe Tactics
Journeyman"Phil Rowe has a decent record but lacks a clear advantage in either striking or grappling, making him a journeyman in the 170lbs division."
