Sakurai Tactics

Veteran

"Hayato Sakurai is a seasoned grappler with a strong ground game and decent striking defense, but his striking offense is limited and he often relies on takedowns to control fights."

Gilbert Tactics

Journeyman

"Joey Gilbert is a journeyman fighter with a limited striking game and no grappling skills, making him a one-dimensional striker who struggles to finish fights."
