Style Matchup

Grappler VS Wrestling

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

Sousa Tactics

Veteran

"Manoel Sousa is a skilled grappler with a strong background in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but his striking skills are underdeveloped, making him a one-dimensional fighter."

Vanderford Tactics

Contender

"Austin Vanderford is a skilled grappler with a high output and decent defense, but his striking skills are a concern."
