Style Matchup

Unknown VS Grappler

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

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."

Sampaio Tactics

Prospect

"Johnny Sampaio is a submission-heavy grappler with a strong ground game, but his inexperience and limited striking skills make him a one-dimensional fighter."
