Both men are dangerous submission hunters making their UFC debuts on short notice, and multiple independent reports on this booking land on the same conclusion: Elliott is a strong grappler, but Anderson is even more credentialed on the mats. Anderson trained at B-Team Jiu-Jitsu under Craig Jones and Nick Rodriguez — an elite competitive no-gi grappling pedigree, a different tier than Elliott's background.
