Style Matchup

Wrestling VS Striker

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

Sonnen Tactics

Veteran

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

Villanueva Tactics

Veteran

"Ike Villanueva is a hard-hitting striker with a high volume of significant strikes, but limited grappling skills."
