Style Matchup

Sanda VS Grappler

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

Salikhov Tactics

Veteran

"A well-rounded veteran with a strong record, but inconsistent striking and grappling numbers make his base style difficult to determine."

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."
