Shimizu Tactics

Journeyman

"Shunichi Shimizu's unorthodox style and low-volume striking make him a difficult opponent to prepare for, but his grappling skills are a major concern."

Nakamura Tactics

Contender

"Rinya Nakamura is a skilled grappler and contender with a strong takedown game and submission threat, making him a formidable opponent in the 135lbs weight class."
