Matt Schnell, 'Danger,' is a veteran flyweight out of Fortis MMA whose 9 submission wins make him one of the division's most frequent finishers on the mat, backed by the division's highest submission attempt rate per 15 minutes among his recent opponents. He snapped a two-fight skid with a decision over Jimmy Flick in April 2025 before back-to-back stoppage losses to Joseph Morales and Alessandro Costa dropped him into a rebuilding spot heading into the second half of 2026.
