Benoist Tactics

Journeyman

"Lance Benoist is a well-rounded fighter with a balanced striking and grappling game, but his record suggests he may be struggling to find consistency in his performances."

Akiyama Tactics

Veteran

"Yoshihiro Akiyama is a grappling specialist with a strong record, but his striking numbers are mediocre and he often relies on his submissions to finish fights."
