Matt Frevola is a genuine American patriot, having served in the U.S. military as an engineering officer before his time competing in MMA. He can be seen in numerous training videos on his social media pages wearing shorts with the USA flag theme on them.

The lightweight contender is currently on a two-fight losing streak, with his most recent result being a KO loss to Fares Ziam at UFC Paris. He suffered an orbital fracture in the bout after being struck with a massive knee to the face, and has yet to have his next fight booked.

The American has proved himself to be one of the most exciting fighters at 155-pounds, a division teeming with eye-catching talent. Frevola's previous six fights have all ended via knockout, with 'The Steamrolla' landing on the right side of three of those results.
