Grappler VS Wrestling

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

Rio Tactics

Journeyman

"Mike Rio is a grappler with a strong takedown game, but his striking is underdeveloped and his defense can be porous at times."

Vanderford Tactics

Contender

"Austin Vanderford is a skilled grappler with a high output and decent defense, but his striking skills are a concern."
