Jake Matthews and his team will be filing an appeal following his controversial third-round submission loss to Neil Magny at UFC Perth. Late in the first round, Matthews sunk in a guillotine choke, and with one second left, the ref stopped the fight. However, Magny popped right back up and protested, which led to the ref ruling he never actually stopped the fight, and that the bout would continue. Matthews had a solid second round, but Magny rallied and submitted the Aussie in the third round for a comeback win, which resulted in plenty of controversy.

UFC Perth has taken a blow after Oban Elliott was forced to pull out of his scheduled fight against Jonathan Micallef. As we know, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is a place where we’ve come to expect a lot of great fights. The best tend to fight the best more often than not, and Dana White often receives a lot of praise for that. However, the chaotic nature of mixed martial arts often means that we’re left feeling disappointed by how many fights are canceled or postponed. This can rarely be avoided, but it’s still frustrating.
