Style Matchup

Shootfighting, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Judo, Karate VS Striker

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

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."

Rowe Tactics

Journeyman

"Phil Rowe has a decent record but lacks a clear advantage in either striking or grappling, making him a journeyman in the 170lbs division."
