Style Matchup

Striker VS Striker

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

Gifford Tactics

Veteran

"Thomas Gifford is a veteran fighter with a solid striking game, but his grappling skills are limited, making him a one-dimensional striker who relies on his striking to win fights."

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."
