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."

Thomson Tactics

Contender

"Isaac Thomson is a grappling specialist with a strong record, but his striking numbers are lacking, making him a contender in the 145lbs weight class."
