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."

Ferguson Tactics

Veteran

"Tony Ferguson is a veteran striker with a high volume of strikes and a strong record, but his grappling game is lacking, making him a one-dimensional fighter at 170lbs."
