Matsumoto is a points fighter who wins on output and control — of his 17 wins, 3 come by knockout, 6 by submission, and 8 by decision. Tellingly, none of his 2 defeats came by finish — he's durable and hard to put away, losing on the cards rather than getting stopped. He tends to out-work opponents over three rounds; early power and finishing threats are where he's most exposed.
