WWE star ‘Triple H’ approves of Jake Matthews’ UFC 243 walkout song: ‘That’s how you play the game’

Jake Matthews paid homage to WWE superstar “Triple H” by walking out to his entrance song in front of a record-breaking crowd in Melbourne.

And “The Game” approves. He took to Twitter to congratulate Matthews for his unanimous decision win over Rostem Akman at UFC 243 on Saturday (Sunday locally) at UFC 243 in Melbourne, Australia.

“Bad ass entrance.

Bad ass fight.

That’s how you play the game ….

Congrats @JakeMatthewsUFC.”

And Matthews responded, showing his appreciation for “Triple H’s” praise. Surely we’re not the only ones who were hoping that Matthews was going to spit that water out after taking a sip? Well, maybe next time.

Thank you legend, it was my honour to walk out to such an iconic song. Not only pumped me up but all 57,000 people in the stadium!!
