Style Matchup
Striker VS Taekwondo, Muay Thai, ARB, Gaidojutsu
"Tactical wildcard matchup — Both fighters bring unique tools to the cage. Adaptability and game planning will be key."
Melo Tactics
Veteran"Vanessa Melo is a well-rounded veteran with a strong striking game, but her grappling statistics are lacking, making her a more one-dimensional fighter."
Santos Tactics
Contender"A high-volume striker with impressive striking numbers, Yana Santos is a formidable opponent in the 135lbs division."
