Shoot wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu VS Grappler

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

Imanari Tactics

Veteran

"Masakazu Imanari is a seasoned grappler with a strong background in submission fighting, but his limited striking defense and low striking output make him vulnerable to opponents who can keep the fight standing."

Nakamura Tactics

Contender

"Rinya Nakamura is a skilled grappler and contender with a strong takedown game and submission threat, making him a formidable opponent in the 135lbs weight class."
