Byrd Tactics
Veteran"Charles Byrd is a well-rounded fighter with a strong striking and grappling record, but his lack of finishing ability and defensive vulnerabilities make him a mid-tier contender."
Covington Tactics
Elite"Colby Covington is a dominant grappler with a strong wrestling background and excellent takedown defense, making him a formidable opponent in the octagon."
