Grappler VS Wrestling, Kickboxing

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

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."

Chiesa Tactics

Veteran

"Michael Chiesa is a well-rounded grappler with a strong wrestling background, but his striking defense is a concern as he navigates the upper echelons of the division."
