Striker VS Balanced

"Balanced vs Specialist — The well-rounded fighter can dictate where this fight takes place, forcing their opponent out of their comfort zone."

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."

Micallef Tactics

Contender

"Jonathan Micallef is a grappling-focused contender with a high submission average and solid takedown defense, making him a formidable opponent on the ground."
