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."

Ferguson Tactics

Veteran

"Tony Ferguson is a veteran striker with a high volume of strikes and a strong record, but his grappling game is lacking, making him a one-dimensional fighter at 170lbs."
