Grappler VS Wrestling

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

Hepburn Tactics

Journeyman

"TJ Hepburn is a limited grappler with decent takedown numbers, but his striking numbers are mediocre, and he may struggle against top-level opponents in the middleweight division."

Vanderford Tactics

Contender

"Austin Vanderford is a skilled grappler with a high output and decent defense, but his striking skills are a concern."
