10 Amazing UFC Fights You Must Watch In February
6. Jake Matthews Vs. Emil Weber Meek - UFC Fight Night 168
If you're wanting an exciting, all-action battle between two extremely game competitors, then the welterweight match-up between Jake Matthews and Emil Weber Meek is exactly what you should be looking for. The two fighters are fight-finishing machines and aren't afraid to take a risk to get their hands raised.
While we're yet to see Meek's devastating knockout power in the Octagon, we've seen how aggressive of a fighter he is and it's extremely entertaining. His nickname, Valhalla, is where Nordic warriors went after they died in battle and Meek tries to take that fight philosophy with him into the cage.
Matthews is the more well-rounded individual, using a mixture of striking and jiu-jitsu that he's perfected over the years. Although his last victory was a convincing decision win over Rostem Akman, Meek is definitely a step-up in competition. Considering the Norweigan's frightening power, it'll be interesting to see if Matthews is able to successfully use his grappling base to his advantage.
