Wrestling, Kickboxing VS Grappler

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

Chiesa Tactics

Veteran

"Michael Chiesa is a well-rounded grappler with a strong wrestling background, but his striking defense is a concern as he navigates the upper echelons of the division."

Nelson Tactics

Veteran

"Gunnar Nelson is a skilled grappler with a strong submission game and solid wrestling skills, but his striking is not his strong suit."
