Style Matchup

Grappler VS Okinawan Kenpo Karate, Kyokushin Karate

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

Elkins Tactics

Veteran

"Darren Elkins is a grizzled veteran with a strong grappling background, but his striking game is less effective, making him a tough but limited fighter."

Kikuno Tactics

Veteran

"Katsunori Kikuno is a veteran fighter with a solid record, and his grappling statistics suggest he may be one of the most dominant grapplers in the division."
