Striker VS Grappler
"Striker vs Grappler — Classic MMA clash. If the fight stays standing, the striker holds the edge. Takedown defense will be decisive."
Nelson Tactics
Journeyman"Shane Nelson is a limited striker with decent volume, but his grappling skills are underdeveloped and his defense is a concern."
Silva Tactics
Contender"Erik Silva is a well-rounded fighter with a strong grappling game and decent striking skills, but his defense is somewhat lacking."
