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."

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."

Santiago Tactics

Prospect

"Richie Santiago is a hard-hitting striker with a strong offense, but his defensive skills and grappling abilities need improvement to reach the next level."
