Striker VS Striker

"Striker vs Striker — High-octane standup battle expected. Reach, volume, and defensive footwork will separate these two."

Akman Tactics

Prospect

"Rostem Akman is a young striker with decent striking numbers, but lacks grappling experience and needs to develop his skills in the clinch and on the ground."

Gaethje Tactics

Veteran

"Justin Gaethje is a veteran striker with a high-volume and aggressive style, and is considered one of the most exciting fighters in the lightweight division."
