Anyone have a clip of Jake Matthews' dad as described in Eddie Gordon's tweet?

Whoever wrote that is a fucking moron.
Corner advice is for strategic advice, not technical advice.
Good advice: "Get up off your back"
or
"Conserve your energy"
or
"Work your guard"
Bad advice: "Okay, now put your left foot on his hip... "
The fight is not the time to be learning technique. The time for learning technique is long over. Telling your fighter they need to "get up" (as opposed to working for a sweep or submission) is sound strategic advice.

I could not believe he won that fght. I was not watching closely but was shocked to see him being interviewedIf Jake Matthews wants to ever improve, he needs to drop his dad as a coach.
Was not impressed with him last night, thought he lost that decision.
He's actually regressed since a year ago.
Plenty of parents coach their kids successfully, some parent are just cuntsAgree 100%. I think it's no secret that Jackson's "talk to fighters like they're small children tying their shoes for the first time" approach seems to work. Calm the fighters down, give them useful advice.
What does screaming at your kid with unhelpful, negative reinforcement like "Are you tired?? You're throwing punches like you're tired!" in the corner gonna achieve? Not to mention, how helpful is screaming "Get up!" over and over when you're being held down? Good advice, Dad.
Parents are too emotionally invested to be cornering their kids. It's ridiculous that his Dad is still his coach. He's no doubt learned anything he could off the old man many moons ago, and he's now competing at the highest level of MMA. He needs to drop his old man off at the pub and go to a proper team in the US.

Looks like Belvin is the only Jake Mathews fan on Earth.
Or a generic twitter loser who tries to bash everyone for everything. Either way what a bitch
