Based on the supplied metrics and results, Matsumoto’s UFC profile suggests a high-engagement, closely contested fighting pattern. His significant striking volume is active on both sides: 5.37 SLpM and 5.41 SApM indicate he is typically involved in exchanges rather than low-output rounds. With 47% striking defense, he is not shown as purely evasive in the available data, and the near-equal landed/absorbed rates align with fights that can hinge on moments and scoring criteria. Results reinforce that theme. Five of the six listed bouts went to decision, including four split decisions (two wins, two losses). That concentration of split outcomes points to consistently competitive rounds where small margins matter. The lone finish in the list is a round-two submission win, and there are no knockout wins or losses recorded in the career summary. Grappling is present in the statistical profile: a takedown average of 3 and a submission average of 0.5 suggest he mixes in wrestling and submission attempts, though the snapshot does not specify how those actions are distributed across opponents or rounds. Recent form is mixed but stable in outcomes: he rebounded from a split-decision loss in February 2026 with a decision win in June 2026.
