Nakao Tactics
Veteran"Yoshihiro Nakao is a grappling specialist with a strong background in submissions, but his striking skills are underdeveloped and often leave him open to counterattacks."
Silva Tactics
Veteran"Thiago Silva is a well-rounded veteran with a strong striking game and decent grappling skills, making him a tough opponent for anyone in the light heavyweight division."
