Hailing from Brazil, lightweight competitor Jean Matsumoto trains out of the Nova União camp, a gym famed for its focus on Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Fighting from an orthodox stance, Matsumoto employs a well-rounded style that incorporates both striking and grappling. He rose to status as a top contender in his division by securing notable victories over established opponents.

Prior to UFC 300, Matsumoto held a 6-2-0 professional record. His recent run began with a head-kick knockout of Roger Reyes and a split decision over Kevin Lee, followed by a rear-naked choke submission loss to Michael O'Connor. He successfully rebounded with a TKO victory against David Duran and a unanimous decision win over Alex Reyes.
