**Shanelle Dyer Calls Out “UFC BJJ” in Strawweight, Vows to Deliver More Knockouts**
In a candid interview with the *Central Oregon Daily*, rising strawweight contender Shanelle Dyer expressed frustration with what she calls the “UFC BJJ” dominance in the division. “I’m tired of being caught on the mat,” Dyer said, “and I’m ready to bring the fight to the cage.” The fighter, who has built a reputation for her grappling skill, now pledges to focus on striking, promising fans more knock‑outs in future bouts. Dyer’s statement comes as the UFC continues to spotlight the grappling-heavy style that has defined the strawweight ranks. For Philadelphia’s MMA community, her shift signals a potential change in the division’s dynamic—one that could bring a fresh, striking‑centric approach to the octagon.
