Bryan “The Butcher” Battle Analysis
Fight of the Bryan Battle, also known as “The Butcher” to his fans, gets into the ring with the outstanding 11-2 record. He doesn’t simply pat himself on the back; the way Battle behaves inside the cage is just as harsh as it can get. With an average fight time significantly shorter than his opponent’s at just under eight minutes, Battle’s strategy is clear: therefore, he finishes his fights off quickly. This is displayed in his striking skills as he statistically lands at 4.52 significant strikes per minute with an impressive 54 percent accuracy. Despite this, his offensive posture and long reach provide an upper hand in preventing his opponents from landing more strikes at him by 3.73 per minute. Although Battle’s grappling statistics are noticeable with 0.94 every 15 minutes takedown average and submission every 0.6 minutes, it shows that while he can handle himself on the ground and his base is striking.

Ange “The Last Ninja” Loosa Analysis
Sitting opposite from the octagon, Ange “The Last Ninja,” brings a different way in approaching the fight. Ange Loosa‘s 10-3-0 record, which averages 15 minutes for a fight, is a ringing endorsement of his tactics of dragging into the depths of exhaustion his opponents or those who think they have a deep pocket. His significant punches per minute landed are higher than Battle’s at 6.32, which simultaneously lower his striking accuracy at 46%. What’s more worry-making for his opponents is the fact that 79% of his wins, which is the highest in the roster, are through submission. With an average of 2.25 takedowns per every 15 minutes and a 100% takedown defense rate, Loosas has certainly proved that he is the toughest to deal on the ground and not easy to control. But the fighter’s orthodox boxing style and slightly less reach (74″) compared to Battle might be a tater in a striking match but confident in a close-range fighter.
