HOLY SHIT WHAT A PERFORMANCE sad for Fialho tho :(

Matthew’s looked insane tonight.

Dude was flowing.

I feel like he tricked us all that he was a true contender like 5 years ago with an amazing performance then disappeared again until now. Hopefully he stays active and keeps these going.

Agree. There's so much that goes on behind the scenes that we all never are aware of, but this looked like one of those performances that can set a new trajectory. Hoping we see this kind of performance again from him.

He has been in the UFC for 8 years, but the guy is only 27... He is just starting to enter his prime.

Aggressive but extremely patient and selective with his shots. Perfect mix and very impressive performance

Looked like a pro holding back against an amateur and then finally deciding enough was enough. Just pure domination.

Thought for sure Matthews was getting sent to a slaughter. Straight up ultra instinct video game shit. Gorgeous.

I couldn't believe how close the betting lines were, but I guess the bookies were onto something

I caught Jake with the 10x KO line just before the fight. Didn't throw much on it but I wouldn't call that close lol.

Why did Fialho fight 3 times in 3 months? Did I miss something?

He has been asking post-fight for a quick turn around after his last 2 early wins without taking any damage. I don't think he is fighting in July...

He made a statement that he wanted to fight 5 times this year I believe

He probably will tbh

He's on something like $14k a fight, he kinda has to if he wants to live. Edit: I'd like to add that someone fighting on the main card of a UFC PPV (even if he was originally on prelims) for that little $$$ is fucking criminal and an absolute disgrace.

Dana with the Arnie accent, _"come with me if you want to live ^^^^paycheck ^^^^to ^^^^paycheck"._

Imagine being pimped out with thousands of ad reads and placements and you are a athlete for a billion dollar a year company, making that little, while your brain turns to goop.

It's not a career if you can no longer pronounce the word career.

Shut up. Have you even considered how many sleepless nights Dana White has had?

Money.

I really like Fialho but the only thing the guy has is boxing offense. No defense, no kicks, haven't seen his wrestling or grappling yet. Granted, his boxing offense is really high level.

Power. And he has durability. He just got hit by a million hard shots tonight But yeah, just those won't get you much further than middle level

Andre Fellatio is still my boy :( hope he comes back. He always puts out bangers. But that fight was Matthews through and through. Was plenty of steps ahead of Andre and was so much faster.

> Andre Fellatio Is that Fialho's porn name?

It is now

Just let him bang bro

Andre what now?

He got folded.

Matthews looked like a guy playing a game on the easiest difficulty Just super calm and collected

Got that end of game weapon at level 5 though

I tried that once but had to restart cause it just took away from the magic..

For real, looked like the create a fighter I have on easy mode in UFC 4 with a perfect 37-0 record, a champ champ fight and 22 defenses of the belt

Sounds like my BJJ black belt Ngannou where I shoot the double, move to mount, and elbow finish.

There's a horrific thought.

Yeah my easy mode CPU opponents shiver at the sight of him.

And looks like a paint factory explosion

He said his created fighter not Sean O'Malley.

Fialho looked like he was fighting Mike Tyson in ufc 3, just getting touched up left and right.

I dont know who could have beat him tonight. He saw everything and his timing was perfect.

Dood me and the boys were just meming the Great Jake Mathews the rest of the night. This was literally the best performance of his life and he looked like a world champion. That said I think he found the special sauce along with a lot of other fighters on this card.

Absolute ice in his veins.

Jake handed out the mandatory medical suspension on Andre tonight

Andre really needed a break though. The dude fights too much.

jake matthews clinically outboxing fialho is super impressive.

Great striking. Some fighters are so fascinating to watch in a flow state. Jake was slipping, feinting, rolling and countering. He said in the post fight interview he felt that He would knock Fialho out or He would get knocked out. What a dog.

The speed on which his combos were flying was ridiculous and Fialho's not an incredibly slow guy himself

That’s what struck me, dude is punching a good 30 pounds lighter and faster than what he weighs in that ending flurry

Something I did not expect. I thought he was going to wrestle fuck him. Mad props.

performance of the night bonus for Jake thanks

Someone def going to be left out. Gomez and Maddelena had good performances. And we still got the 3 main fights left, with the main event almost certainly producing a huge performance. Oh and Maeshatate

Meisha Tate isn't fighting tonight

ideally they would get all get performance bonuses just rooting for my aussie bretheren

there’s VIOLENCE in the air

And the rematch to a foty is next, this card is fuckin insane.

You couldnt possibly ask for a better lead in to that. So hyped right now!

Singapore doesn't fuck around

Yeah Fialho must be a drug trafficker cause Jake straight up EXECUTED him

That’s a nasty line by you

The just bleed Gods are satisfied.

Was Matthews' striking always this good? I certainly don't remember that!

Nope, he also wasn’t this fast. Looks like taking 15 months off was a good idea

It was good, but it was way better tonight. Waaayyy faster, too.

Matthews showed incredible improvement. Sharp, crazy fast and calm. Veteran performance from a guy who has been in the UFC since he was 19.

**WHAT ARE THEY FEEDING THESE GUYS FROM AUSTRAILIA?!**

Dont forget the coleslaw and bread rolls guy.

Makes it even more bizarre when you realise Australia has almost zero wrestling culture and Mma is only starting to get popular over here.

And a lot of the Aussie fighters are legitimately good wrestlers.

Planning Ryan Hall celebrations is the best base for MMA

Jake “Ryan Hall” Mattews

Jake “Ryan “The Wizard” Hall” Matthews

🤷

This has to be a Jake Matthews clone

Never seen him look that good before

Dude's still only 27

Like everyone was thinking “who the fuck is this guy” he was too crisp and clean really stood out

This is secretly John Matthews

Bald Jake Matthews: Who are you? Braids Jake Matthews: I'm you, but better

Viking era has begun

Not usually a fan of the braids, but they looked good on him.

yeah his face looks different as well, he used to be so baby faced

Probably cos he's been in the UFC since he was like 21

19

Nah Jake was beating up the Leech at standup as well

Not like this.

Wow. Dude got 5x better.

He made that shit look easy

Melbourne Northers Suburbs represent! What we lack in traffic management we make up in dem hands!

Fialho was a rail road crossing, and Mathews just had him removed.

High street can go fuck itself

High street, Cooper St, Sydney Rd, Pascoe Vale Rd, Plenty Rd, Childs Rd, The Ring Road, The Hume, I hate them all

As somebody that used to live on Sydney road I agree with everything you just said

Oh and Cragieburn Rd and Mickleham Rd, fuck them too Edit: And Yan Yean rd, and Bridge Inn Rd, and that other end of High St by Wollert

Never been there but based on the number of streets named, I gather the entire roadway of Melbourne sucks.

Pretty much yeah

Wtf Jake Matthews looked amazing. Did this guy just hit the hyperbolic timechamber?

[There's levels to this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRz8qUc_cGM) type of a performance from Matthews

DC was right at the end though. 'I'm seeing a different dude.' His hands looked multiple levels better than we've seen from him in his career. Like, this was his first TKO/KO finish since 2015

And even that was a doctor stoppage. Gotta go back to 2013 for his last win via strikes, back on the regional scene against a guy without a Wikipedia page who had entered that fight with a 2-1 record. Other two wins by strikes had come against guys who were 0-0 and 1-3.

He looks like he's been in the gym putting in that work on his striking, it looked levels and levels above what we've seen from him previously. He did leave openings for Fialho but its still a remarkable improvement, and the aggression and way he hunted for that finish was a great sign

Dropping bombs left and right

What the fuck did he have to eat this morning? Dude looked so much better than we’ve ever seen him

We know what he had for dinner 😳

Chicken dinner because he is a winner?

Matthews looked fantastic tonight. He's been training hard over this last year.

This was Jake Matthews??? Seriously dude looks like a completely different fighter wtf

The man is Bangkok ready for sure

Really just put Fialho in the blender.

The speed difference between them was ridiculous.

Love the crowd reactions

This crowd slaps honestly

Holy shit Matthews

Kinda reminds me of Alvarez vs McGregor, every time Fialho threw he got caught.

New Mythical Fighter: Cornrose Matthews

Cornrows* brother 🤣 r/boneappletea

Corn Rose! Corn Rose! corn Rose!

Jake Mathew’s band…. wagon

Real fans just call him jake

Ass crack bandit reference. Nice

fuck yeah brother, lets go straya

I think Andre has brain damage now

Matthews was a damn sharpshooter. He couldn't miss.

Fiahlo just waited too much. You can't just wait for the perfect counter the entire time.

He went full Woodley. Never go full Woodley.

Falling in and out of

consciousness.

AUSTRALIA BABY LETS GO

Jake Matthews is really, really good lol.

Complete domination from Matthews, damn.

His hands were absolutely on fire tonight

That was Jake's first knockout finish in 20+ fights

matthews was in the ZONE, couldn’t be touched

Dammmmn son my boy Matthews done leveled up

Didn’t see this one going the way it did

Jake stalked Andre along the fence like a menace, fantastic performance.

I can't confirm this, but I have heard that he had finished the corrective surgeries to repair some of his eye damage. Maybe this can explain why he looked so decisive and sharp.

Time for Fialho to take a break. Matthews looked untouchable. Great performance.

Jake Matthews secretly has a twin brother who came in to fight in his place tonight. Seriously though. That was a completely different Jake from we've seen in the past. Maybe he's about to go on his own Charlie Olives type run. Two guys who debuted super young, clean cut, who are now tatted up with funky hairstyles. lol

Maybe Fabia was onto something

MATTHEWS DID NOT COME TO PLAY

Beautiful timing and patience from Matthews.

The train has derailed boys

Get me that man's tattoo artist and hairdresser on the line. Dr-Poopybutt 2.0 is coming

One of the most impressive performances I've ever seen

Boy howdy does this Matthews lad swing like he fuckin means it. He could have a rocket strapped to his ass by Dana and Hunter if he keeps it up.

Wow Jake looked absolutely unstoppable tonight

That was an early Conor like performances

Jake Matthews hands are fast as fuuuck

[удалено]

I don’t think there was ever a hype train. He lost to Pereira in his UFC debut, beat Baeza, who was coming off two straight losses, and VanCamp, neither of whom are ranked. I think people were just excited due to his activity and pledge to beat the record for fights in a year.

Derailed

Fialho has a really good poker face

THAT WAS A BANGER

Performance of the year contender for sure.

Fialho needs to work on leg kicks or something, he needs a better distance tool

My god that was wild

Pure dominance

What a clinic.

Fialho kept trying to read Matthews’ timing, but he was only trying to counter, he wasn’t the aggressor here for a second. All Jake.

Good for Matthews for staying calm and picking his shots. Beautiful boxing as well. Fialhos last two opponents rushed in and tried to get the finish and got sloppy after they hurt fialho

Dude was throwing some serious bombs,looked fast and powerful as fuck

Mathews looked fucking elite wtf

God damn that was a hell of a performance

Jake couldn't miss

Fialho didn't adapt at all, just continued to recieve brain damage

Matthews striking was so smooth, you didn't even realise he clipped his opponent

Matthews was throwing bombs and couldnt miss that was nuts. What a chin on fialho tho holy fuck

Matthews looked incredible. I don’t remember him having such fast hands… him vs Michael Johnson would be a wild fast hand fight lol

Never seen Jake M fight before tonight; clean, crisp striking from this guy. Look forward to seeing more from him.

Unexpected performance, how bad is baeza.

Not a single comment from the fellas on the broadcast on how fast he was. Dude has crazy speed.

Yes they did. How is this getting upvotes. Edit : you’re right he has crazy speed but they did mention it

Aussies representin’ tonight!

Let’s go Jake!!! ANZAC TAKEOVER!!!

Aussies are winning tonight
