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."

Eklund Tactics

Veteran

"Per Eklund is a well-rounded veteran with a strong grappling background, but his striking skills are limited, making him a threat on the ground and a formidable opponent in submission situations."

Stephens Tactics

Veteran

"A veteran striker with a high volume of strikes, Stephens has been a formidable opponent in the lightweight division for years."
