STRENGTHS

• Wrestling

• Submissions

• Takedowns

Jason “Hitman” Brilz is a scrappy light heavyweight submission wrestler. He often doesn’t fare well while standing and exchanging with rival strikers, so work at bringing the fight to the clinch, where he has much better defense and control.

Brilz can do some decent damage with his uppercuts in the Muay Thai Clinch, or he can suplex the opponent to the ground in the Double Underhook clinch, landing on top in dominant Side Control.

From here, “Hitman” can punish his rival with body shots, softening him up for strong arm triangle chokes that Brilz can apply from Side Control.

If you don’t like to fight in the clinch, he also has a pretty decent standing takedown—but his lack of speed and footwork on the feet can make takedowns tough to set up.

WEAKNESSES

• Speed

• Kicks

• Standing strike defense

With low speed and poor defense against standing strikes, “Hitman” is highly vulnerable during striking exchanges. Exploit these key vulnerabilities by keeping the fight standing and keeping Brilz on the end of your punches and kicks.

He’s not effective at retaliating with kicks of his own, so you can really work him over from the outside. Brilz can also be overwhelmed in other areas of the fight game, but he’s by far the most vulnerable while the fight is kept standing.

Pick “Hitman” apart with kicks and quick strikes from the outside; be ready to block his clinch and takedown attempts as you batter his legs, body, and head.

If you decide to take Jason to the mat, you’ll find that he has surprisingly good ground defense off his back and can improve his position and slip out of subs.
