Grappler VS Striker

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

Ruiz Tactics

Prospect

"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."

Kazama Tactics

Contender

"Toshiomi Kazama is a grappling specialist with a strong submission game and solid takedown defense, making him a formidable opponent in the division with a clear path to victory."
