After a few challenging fights in the UFC, Connor Matthews prepared himself for any opportunity, including last-minute fights. He received a short-notice fight announcement 22 days before facing Matheus Camilo, which he embraced despite the preference for a full training camp. Matthews feels confident about his chances due to Camilo's tendency to tire during bouts and lack of finishing capability. He believes his training has him prepared and looks forward to showcasing his skills in the ring, where he can exploit Camilo's weaknesses.
I got the notice like 22 days out from the fight. So whatever the date that was, I think it was like a Thursday or something like that.
I'm a professional fighter. So I'm ready to fight at all times. I always stay healthy. I'm staying ready.
I feel comfortable on my feet, and I feel like he's gonna gas. I feel like I have a really good gas tank and I'm just gonna bring it to him.
Everybody's fought, it seems like anybody who's kind of a challenging record, it seems like it goes to decision.
