Hughes Tactics
Veteran"Mark Hughes is a grappling specialist with solid numbers, but his striking defense needs improvement and his record suggests he's not a top-tier fighter."
Pereira Tactics
Elite"Alex Pereira is a devastating striker with a high strike rate and excellent accuracy, making him a top contender in the light heavyweight division."
