Striker VS Grappler

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

Shirai Tactics

Journeyman

"Yuya Shirai is a streaky striker with impressive accuracy, but his extremely low-volume striking and lack of grappling skills limit his upside."

Puelles Tactics

Contender

"Claudio Puelles is a contender with a strong grappling game and moderate striking skills, making him a threat on the ground in the lightweight division."
