Grappler VS Striker

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

Backstrom Tactics

Veteran

"Niklas Backstrom is a grappling specialist with strong takedown skills, but his striking defense is a concern and may make him vulnerable to opponents with strong striking."

Sadykhov Tactics

Contender

"Sadykhov's impressive striking volume and accuracy make him a threat in the lightweight division, but he needs to work on his grappling defense."
