Style Matchup

Grappler VS Striker

"Grappler vs Striker — The grappler needs to close distance and secure takedowns early. The striker must keep it on the feet."

Linhares Tactics

Veteran

"Lucio Linhares is a grappling specialist with a strong background in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but his striking skills are underdeveloped."

Safarov Tactics

Prospect

"Safarov's aggressive striking style, characterized by a high striking accuracy and significant strikes landed per minute, suggests a formidable opponent in the stand-up."
