Matt Hamill to fight Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

On May 28 Matt Hamill will finally have a shot on challenging one of the top 10 UFC fighters. Dana White, UFC president, made sure of that.

"I was supposed to fight in Toronto against Phil Davis, but I wasn't really happy with [him being] my opponent," said Hamill. "When I found out Rampage had no one to fight, Duff Holmes called Joe Silva and said 'Matt Hamill is available, Matt Hamill wants to fight 'Rampage.' Dana White wanted me to fight anyone in the top ten. Trust me, when I got Rampage, I got very excited. This is the moment I wanted, I'm one fight away from the title. This could be a great fight, it could be a war, it's not going to be easy but when an opponent is ranked better than me it keeps me motivated. May 28, I'll be ready."

Good luck, Matt. Give it 110%!

I’m glad to see Hamill is looking forward to the challenge, especially when I see how confident Jackson is that he will win easily. I definitely won’t be missing this fight; I work for DISH and they have TV Everywhere so I can watch on my phone through my 3G data plan. I’m really hoping Hamill will show what he’s got and show Jackson what ground game is all about.
