Matt Vaile
Welterweight
12-2
New Zealand
32
Five years ago Vaile was a top prospect out of New Zealand. He’s been a veteran on the regional scene in Australia/New Zealand ever since 2014. His only two losses are to former ex-UFC guys. Vaile has honed in on his skills over the years and I believe in 2023 he’s at his best. He’s got some qualities on the feet but is a grappler and face smasher to the core.
Brogan Anderson
Middleweight
15-3
New Zealand
34
Anderson has done well for himself lately. He’s won six in a row and is the XFC middleweight and light heavyweight champion. Although he’s been on a roll he’s not fighting the best of competition. With that said his only loss in almost seven years is to a good fighter in Matt Vaile. Anderson is far better when using his wrestling and using his ground game. On the feet, he does well when it comes to lulling guys into his counterstriking. Anderson is a solid wrestler and unlike a lot of fighters, he can chain-wrestle very well. And when he gets the takedown he’s in full control and can end it with his ground and pound, snatching the neck, or grabbing a limb.
