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

Jones has a few words about Matt Hamill.
There are a couple of Dec. 2nd articles on Matt Hamill and his upcoming UFC fight here and here for you to read up on.
Matt's last fight was the March 2009 UFC 96 fight where he knocked out Munoz in the first round as seen at the 3:55 mark in the video below. You can actually hear the sicking slap/crunch of Matt's right foot against the right side of Munoz's head knocking him unconscious for a few minutes while on the ground. That knockout earned Matt Hamill $60,000 in the $60,000 Knockout of the Night bonus money.
All Kokonut Pundit blogs on Matt Hamill including personal interviews with him by Kokonut Pundit.
UPDATE: Matt Hamill wins the fight against Jon Jones in the first round in 4:14 from using an illegal move against Matt Hamill. Jones used an illegal downward elbow on Matt Hamill.
UPDATE II: Matt Hamill sustained some injuries to his nose and what it appears to be a dislocated right? shoulder. You can review discussions in the Sherdog forum about the fight between Hamill and Jones.
UPDATE III: Here's the fight video between Hamill and Jones!
UPDATE IV: Since Matt Hamill won the fight through a disqualification for Jones use of his elbow against Hamill's face the fight was all Jones. There may be talks of reversing the referee's decision? Matt's face really got pummeled folks. Said blood were coming out of his eyes (or was it from a cut to his nose that got into his eyes?) and he could see or even here what the referee was saying. Looks really brutal and something that Matt will need to take home and rethink on how to handle Jones the next time. If Jones hadn't done his illegal elbowing Jones would've won the fight anyway. Matt's face will be sore and no idea if this fight hurt his eyes or not or how extensive his injuries were. Prayers and thoughts of rapid return to health for Matt Hamill.
UPDATE V: Captioned video of the fight.

UPDATE VI: More news on Hamill injuries here. Expect a Hamill vs Jones re-match around spring/summer of 2010 next year. It may be a few months or so of recovery and rehabbing til Matt gets into practice fulltime for the next fight.
