Style Matchup

Striker VS Unknown

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

Sanders Tactics

Veteran

"A one-dimensional striker with a concerning lack of grappling skills, Sanders's career has been marked by a reliance on his jab and suspect takedown defense."

Merritt Tactics

Prospect

"Joe Merritt is a prospect with a limited record, but his striking metrics suggest he may be a skilled striker, although his grappling metrics are somewhat limited."
