Matt Hamill to Meet Tito Ortiz at UFC 121
Jul 22nd
Matt ”The Hammer” Hamill will be taking on Tito Ortiz at UFC 121 in Anaheim, Califormia October 21st, according to a report in MMAJunkie.com. The New York light heavyweight, who was coached by Ortiz during his season on the Ultimate Fighter show, returns to the octagon following a unanimous decision victory over Keith Jardine. Hamill’s win in that fight resulted in Jardine’s release from the UFC, a fate that could easily befall Ortiz should he lose this fight. The Huntington Beach Bad Boy enters this fight without a win in his last four outings (0-3-1). With a movie about his early life about to be released and some good momentum building in his fight career, things are looking good for the Hammer.
Good Night for Matt Hamill – Beats Jardine and Promotes New Movie
Jun 22nd
Matt Hamill had a big night this past Saturday in not only winning an important fight against Keith Jardine, but getting some good exposure for his upcoming movie. Hamill, demonstrating once again his trademark toughness, overcame a first round broken hand, serious eye poke and staph infection to earn a unanimous decision against the always dangerous UFC veteran Jardine. Also, the Hammer’s upcoming film biography received some great publicity from the UFC with a promo spot by Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, and the movie trailer posted on its site. Great to finally see a quality film portraying the life of a UFC fighter. Moreover, much of it was filmed in the Rochester New York area! If you haven’t seen the trailer, check it out here at www.macsmma.com.
Matt Hamill Returns to Octagon
May 6th
Matt Hamill will be returning to the Octagon when he faces Keith Jardine at the Ultimate Fighter Finale on June 19th in Las Vegas. This will be Matt’s first fight since the controversial DQ win against Jon Jones back in December, so Matt will surely be looking to make a statement that he’s still a force in the 205 division. This should be a good fight as it will pit Matt’s superior wrestling against Jardine’s awkward but effective striking. Also, stay tuned for the release of the “Hammer’s” new movie which was filmed mostly in upstate New York. Mac’s MMA had the opportunity to be on set for several days of the shoot and it looks like it will be a great film. See you all in Vegas on the 19th!
