Jake Matthews knows overturning his loss at UFC Perth will be difficult, but he\u2019s going to try anyways.<\/p>\n
Matthews was recently submitted in the third round by Neil Magny in a welterweight main card bout this past Saturday at RAC Arena. However, at the end of the first round, Matthews had Magny in a tight guillotine choke, and with Magny\u2019s arm appearing to go limp, the referee stepped in and stopped the fight just before the horn sounded. Magny immediately jumped up to protest, and the referee allowed the fight to continue, leading to another wild comeback win for the all-time welterweight wins leader.<\/p>\n
On his Instagram page, which was collaborated on by Matthews\u2019 management team, Matthews says the result is under appeal with the commission.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fight stoppage is currently under review by the state combat commission,\u201d Matthews wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to switch back on after a referee\u2019s call, but we\u2019ll leave it in their hands and see where it goes. At the end of the day, rules are rules.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matthews entered the bout on a three-fight win streak following victories over Phil Rowe, Francisco Prado, and Chidi Njokuani. \u201cThe Celtic Kid\u201d is 15-8 competing for the promotion and was hoping a win over Magny could boost him towards the top-15 in a loaded welterweight division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Matthews knows overturning his loss at UFC Perth will be difficult, but he\u2019s going to try anyways.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[64,63,1347,85,787,1396],"class_list":{"0":"post-178678","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-latest-news","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-ufc","13":"tag-ufc-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
