It was great watching Matt Hamill face his former coach and trainer during his TUF days. I was at the Buffalo Wild Wings Bar and Grill during their Saturday fight nights where I had the chance to see the fight on 15 different screens of all sizes throughout the restaurant. The place was packed only because the Phillies vs San Francisco baseball game for the World Series slot. My wife and I had to stand for nearly 3 hours with the last 2 hours watching the UFC 121 fights. Then it was finally Matt's turn to fight. The ultimate test in battling it out against a former coach and trainer. In all three rounds Matt dominated them with the last round had Tito getting his own taste of Matt's patented "Ground and Pound" meat grinder. By the time it was over everybody knew Matt won the fight. Even Tito Ortiz raised Matt's arm recognizing that he won even before the announcement was made. Tito's face was bloodied and bruised while Matt hardly had any bruise or even a cut on his face. This is a huge win for Matt tonight.
If you haven't seen my rare post-fight pictures of Matt Hamill and Tito Ortiz together rough housing around then don't miss it. Those pictures are not available anywhere else on the internet except at my blog.

So what...
anony 9:02 AM,
It's the irony of that picture. Did anyone actually think that Matt Hamill would fight Tito someday? It was a possibility but that was during the TUF programming so it was hard to see that he'd be fighting him 4 years later. Now that Matt single-handedly won the fight without too much difficulty the rough housing picture should have Tito getting the uppercut to the chin.
Next Randy Couture, or Rashad Evans, or Forrest Griffin?
Someone is jealous...
Candy, you might be right.
