Striker VS Grappler

"Striker vs Grappler — Classic MMA clash. If the fight stays standing, the striker holds the edge. Takedown defense will be decisive."

"Wanderlei Silva is a veteran striker with a strong aggressive style and decent grappling skills, but his takedown defense is suspect."

Watanabe Tactics

Prospect
