Wrestling VS Grappler

"Tactical wildcard matchup — Both fighters bring unique tools to the cage. Adaptability and game planning will be key."

Sonnen Tactics

"Sonnen is a well-established grappler with a strong ground game, but his striking and age may be catching up to him."

Franco Tactics

Prospect

"Felipe Franco is a promising grappler with a high takedown average, but his striking defense is a weakness."
