Jake Hadley immediately turned some heads in his PFL debut.
In his first fight following his UFC release, Hadley (12-4 MMA, 3-4 UFC) defeated Matheus Mattos (14-4-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC) on Friday at 2025 PFL 2 in Orlando, Fla via a rare Scottish twister submission at 2:16 of Round 3.
The victory advanced Hadley to the semifinal of the promotion’s bantamweight tournament. He’ll compete June 20 in Wichita, Kansas.
With the win, bounces back into the win column after a 1-3 stretch that led to his UFC exit. Mattos, a Patricio “Pitbull” training partner, falls into a two-fight skid.
