Striker VS Striker

"Striker vs Striker — High-octane standup battle expected. Reach, volume, and defensive footwork will separate these two."

Alves Tactics

"Thiago Alves is a seasoned striker with a strong offense, but his grappling skills are underdeveloped, and his record suggests he may be past his prime."

Gaethje Tactics

Veteran

"Justin Gaethje is a veteran striker with a high-volume and aggressive style, and is considered one of the most exciting fighters in the lightweight division."
