The UFC was founded on a simple question: which fighting style is the best? The first event was marketed as a no-holds-barred affair, pitting Taekwondo black belts against boxers, sumo wrestlers against brawlers, and pretty much any other discipline you could think of.
Today, we’re seeing more guys that grew up training MMA as its own discipline. Guys like Max Holloway didn’t have a base, like Daniel Cormier with wrestling or Jacare Souza with Brazilian jiu-jitsu. It raises the overall level of the sport - but there’s still something so old-school cool about a matchup that pits fighters with strong disciplines against each other.
Let’s take a look at a few of the best upcoming style matchups. Where available, we’ve got UFC odds at BookMaker.eu listed - head over to the sportsbook now to bet.

UFC 211, May 13
Demian Maia -130 vs. Jorge Masvidal +110
Jiu-Jitsu vs. Boxing
Maia is one of the finest ambassadors for Brazilian jiu-jitsu ever to step foot inside the octagon, so every time the guy fights it’s a style matchup. Opponents know exactly what he wants to do, yet most can’t stop it. The guy is gonna squeeze you like a boa constrictor and knot you up like a balloon animal.
Masvidal is an interesting opponent because he’s a supremely underrated boxer. The dude just picked apart a prolific kickboxer in Cowboy Cerrone, and it started with a stiff jab that completely dismantled a high-octane offensive fighter. Can he do the same against the master of submissions?
UFC Fight Night 110, June 10
Derek Brunson vs. Derrick Lewis
UFC odds coming soon!
Wrestling vs. Judo
Aussie Daniel Kelly is a former Olympian in judo. That gives him impressive upper body and grip strength - helping make up for his slow speed. Kelly is an awkward striker, but when he gets into the clinch his background really shines. He is an excellent takedown artist and great at applying pressure and finding submissions.
You know what other sport specializes in takedowns? Wrestling. That just so happens to be Brunson’s forte. A three-time D2 All-American wrestler, Brunson has more recently tried to strike more with mixed results. That could lead him back to his roots, setting up for an intriguing clash of different takedown styles.
UFC Fight Night 111
Dong Hyun Kim vs. Colby Covington
UFC odds coming soon!
Wrestling vs. Judo
It’s the same style matchup as Brunson vs. Kelly, but with two guys who stick to their disciplines much more than the former. Kim is a South Korean judoka and a huge welterweight. He’s got an assortment of throws and trips from the clinch that he uses to get on top of his opponents. From there, he mixes ground and pound with positional control to wear down his opponents.
Covington, unlike Brunson, is ALL about the takedowns. Where Brunson is trying to branch out with wild striking, Covington sticks to his guns. In seven UFC fights, he’s completed more than 21 takedowns, and his ground pressure is relentless. How he takes down a Kim - a strong fighter with great balance - is a mystery. But the guy is gonna try no matter what.
