Style Matchup

Striker VS Grappler

"Striker vs Grappler — Classic MMA clash. If the fight stays standing, the striker holds the edge. Takedown defense will be decisive."

Bessette Tactics

Veteran

"Matt Bessette is a seasoned striker with a high volume of strikes, but his grappling skills are underdeveloped and leave him vulnerable to submission attacks."

Loughran Tactics

Contender

"Caolan Loughran is a well-rounded fighter with a good record and moderate striking and grappling stats, making him a contender in the 135lbs division."
