I'm still ******* salty about Bojan being screwed against Jake, it ****** my tapology card over.
Li should be able to keep the fight standing and blast Aussie Sage into another dimension.

Matthews has been underwhelming lately even when he wins, he loses this one unless he manages to lay on Jingliang.

totally possible that jake can sprawl and keep it technical, but i'm gonna pick li doing his normal thing and making it ugly.

Round 2
Matthews has had so many injuries in his young career already. He's strong and a solid top position grappler, but he has shown a hard time coming back from adversity against better strikers or grapplers. He does well when he can exploit one lacking element in his opponents game. I think Li's been the more tested guy, is willing to take one to give 2, knows he can knock anyone in the division out and his confidence is riding higher. I think Li gets it done by KO in the 2nd. I see him being able to work his way out of any tough grappling scenario, tiring Matthews out and then finishing him off in style.

I agree @Shaolin86. To add, both Jake & Li fought for that Legend FC promotion a couple years back, at Welterweight.
Leech has been on the steady rise while Jake has had countless ups & downs. I think if both show up at their best Leech is still more savage. Jake isn't in a great place right now.

Matthews just seems to have something...off with him. Hasn't had a good performance in a while. Think he needs to stop training by himself and move to an actual camp.

If The Leech tries to make this a wild brawl and Matthews beat him by being technical, will we see The Leech go with a grind game.

I was telling my friend that Matthews is an Aussie prospect and he said Matthews has been a prospect for years....how long do you get be a prospect before you become a middling fighter? Made me sad.

I don't rate him Zuli mate. No fight IQ at all and he hasn't evolved the entire time I've been watching him.

Round 2
Li has good powerful striking with hard low kicks, good counters combinations and KOP. Matthews will try to take him down but li has good wrestling and is a brown belt in jiu jitsu. I think they cancel each other in the ground and li destroys mathew standing up.

I agree with everyone that Mathews hasn't evolved at all.He needs to move to an actual camp instead of training in his garage.

I've lost faith in Matthews because of his lack of progress. Early it looked like he had potential but he just isn't progressing at a fast enough rate or as much as I hoped he would.
