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."
Weidman Tactics
Veteran"Chris Weidman is a veteran grappler with a strong wrestling background and a high submission average, but his striking defense is a concern."
