Liu Xu has a background in Sanda and wrestling and has competitive experience in both sports. He is still undefeated in Sanda and prefers striking over grappling. His favorite striking maneuver makes use of his elbows, which he has utilized to devastating effect in the past.

Wang Wei has been training in martial arts since he was 10, and has Judo, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Taekwondo experience. He is the oldest of the competitors in the flyweight tournament but believes he makes up for it with more experience having competed in multiple regional and national championships in Judo.
