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."

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."
