Obviously disapointed that Fukuda dropped out, but Matt is on fire at the moment so it doesn't matter who they put in front of them

Poor guy!!!!

[Zanmato]

Good luck Matt Thorpe. Why did Fukuda have to pull out?

Also, there seems to be a large, favourable discrepancy in the record posted above (7-4-1) and the record on sherdog (2-5-2) anyone know what it really is?

Good luck Matt Thorpe. Come on UK get behind the UK team.

WAR.

Nice to see Matt fighting outside the UK once again. Matt's dedication to his training and the successes he's had are often under-rated...especially when you take into consideration he has a full-time job which involves working some very unsocial hours.
