Style Matchup

Grappler VS Striker

"Grappler vs Striker — The grappler needs to close distance and secure takedowns early. The striker must keep it on the feet."

Russow Tactics

Veteran

"Mike Russow is a high-volume grappler with strong takedown skills, but his striking defense and overall well-roundedness are concerns."

Gaziev Tactics

Contender

"Shamil Gaziev is a solid all-around fighter with a decent striking and grappling game, but he needs to develop more power and aggression to become a top contender in the heavyweight division."
