Grappler VS Shotokan Karate, Kickboxing, Shootfighting

"Tactical wildcard matchup — Both fighters bring unique tools to the cage. Adaptability and game planning will be key."

Zhifa Tactics

Veteran

"Shang Zhifa is a dominant grappler with a strong takedown game, but his striking is underdeveloped and he can be vulnerable to submissions."

Horiguchi Tactics

Veteran

"Kyoji Horiguchi is a highly experienced and well-rounded fighter with a strong record, but his statistics don't reveal a clear specialty."
