Grappler VS Grappler
"Grappler vs Grappler — Grinding, tactical war on the mat. Takedown accuracy and ground control will decide this one."
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."
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."
