The fight card for UFC 121 which is scheduled for October 23 at the Honda Center in Anaheim is shaping up to a big one with some big names in the sport. The latest confirmed fight will have "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Tito Ortiz facing his former pupil in Matt "The Hammer" Hamill according to MMAFighting.comAnd who would've thought this would happen after seeing rare pictures of Matt Hamill and Tito Ortiz hamming it up and clowning around in front of the camera like a bunch of happy frat boys? And now, it's gonna get real serious between the two on October 23, 2010. Of course, none of this is exactly official but tentative at this moment.
Tito was the coach on "The Ultimate Fighter" Season three opposite Ken Shamrock. Matt Hamill was on Tito's team and according to some of the other fighters appearing on that season he received preferential treatment from Tito. The special care given to Matt seemed to stem from the bond between solid wrestlers.
By the way, those pictures were sent to me by Matt Hamill as part of my continuing interviews with Matt Hamill that began 4 years ago.

I'm a fan of Matt. This fight is gonna be his biggest challenge. He needs consistent speed with his jabs and moves to win it. I'm looking forward to see his fight once again.

I don't know much about MMA, but I would assume Tito is no longer in his prime?
