Catch WrestlingShoot Wrestling VS Striker

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

Sakuraba Tactics

Legend

"Kazushi Sakuraba is a legendary grappler with a well-rounded skillset and a storied career, but his age and wear-and-tear may be catching up to him."

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."
