Murata Tactics

Veteran

"Ryuichi Murata is a well-rounded fighter with a solid record, but his striking and grappling numbers suggest he may be more effective in scrambles than in pure striking or grappling situations."

Malkoun Tactics

Contender

"Jacob Malkoun is an aggressive wrestler with a high takedown average and decent striking, making him a promising contender at 185lbs."
