Connor "The Controller" Matthews

Connor "The Controller" Matthews

Warfigher to cagefighter.

Before entering the cage, Connor honorably served as a USAF Combat Controller (CCT) within the USAF Special Tactics community. The grit and resilience that allowed Connor to endure the selection pipeline and serve within the SOF community are also what has carried him into the UFC. 

Discipline, hardwork, and respect are the pillars of Connor's training and personality. If someone wanted to experience it firsthand then they should look no further than Connor's training facility Mom's Basement, one of the best kept secrets in the MMA world. A no frills, authentic, blue collar approach to training Connor is the leader and mentor to the diverse group of people within the community-driven training space that has a pool of up and coming fighters.

Not resting on his prior achievements, Connor has successfully channeled his success in the ring into a platform to advocate and create positive change. Heavily involved with numerous charitable organizations such as the WeDefy Foundation, Nonstandard, and MCON; Connor selflessly contributes his little free time to push for diverse modalities to assist veterans in finding community, building mental resilience, and taking control of their physical wellbeing.
