Matt Hamill wins his 13th MMA fight

Enjoyable night at the Buffalo Wings sports bar with numerous large tv screens to watch up close the UFC 152 match with Hamill vs Hollet. One thing different about Matt was his near clean shaven head but the real story is Matt's comeback after his 1 year retirement from the MMA UFC. Matt was evidently in control in all three rounds with a minor cut around his eyebrow. It was clearly an easy call after three rounds with a a score of 29-28, 30-27, and 30-27 in favor of Hamill where he won his 13th fight. More in depth analysis of the fight can be found here. 

The real fight anticipation at the sports bar was the Jon Jones vs Vitor Belfort and was the highlight of the fight that night at the bar. Odds were in Jon Jones' favor to win with his exceptional fighting skills. Jones was able to get out of a deadly straight armbar which he struggled to free himself for about 30 seconds. After that he wouldn't allow himself to make that same mistake again and returned the favor in Round 4 giving him an Americana armbar winning the fight with a submission win

Matt Hamill comes out of retirement to fight again

Matt Hamill stated last week that he has come out of retirement after a year long break to fight in the upcoming UFC 152 fight on September 22 against Roger Hollett. The Hamill vs Hollet fight can be seen on Pay Per View TV.

Apparently Hamill's hunger to fight has not entirely disappeared after allowing his body, mind and spirit enough time to recover. The question now becomes can he make it at age 35 years old? Can he succeed in winning more UFC fights? We'll have to wait, watch and see what happens after September 22.

Welcome back, Matt!

The Hammer returns!
