Grappler VS Shotokan Karate, Kickboxing, Shootfighting

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

"Paul Ruiz is a submission-heavy grappler with excellent defensive skills, but his limited striking and inexperience make it hard to project his future success."

Horiguchi Tactics

Veteran

"Kyoji Horiguchi is a highly experienced and well-rounded fighter with a strong record, but his statistics don't reveal a clear specialty."
