Style Matchup

Grappler VS Combat Sambo

"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."

Fakhretdinov Tactics

Veteran

"Rinat Fakhretdinov is a well-rounded veteran fighter with a strong record and balanced skillset, making him a force to be reckoned with at 170lbs."
