UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) – UFC Light Heavyweight contender, Matt “The Hammer” Hamill has signed to return to battle in the nationally televised final of The Ultimate Fighter season 11 this June. Hamill’s opponent will be “The Dean of Mean”, Keith Jardine.
This will be Matt Hamill’s first fight since his disqualification win over Jon Jones. That fight, the main event of the finale of The Ultimate Fighter season 10 last December, was stopped when Hamill could not continue due to cuts. It was ruled that the cuts were inflicted by illegal blows and, as a result, Jones was disqualified. Hamill also suffered an injured shoulder in that fight, but has recovered and has resumed training.
Matt is from Loveland, Ohio, but lives and trains in the Utica area. His trainer is Duff Holmes, of the Mohawk Valley Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness in Washington Mills.
Hamill has a 9-2-0 record in the UFC, against some of the best 205 pound fighters in MMA.
Jardine is one of the best known fighters in the UFC. He has a 14-8-1 overall MMA record, with wins over UFC legends Forrest Griffin and Chuck Liddell.
Hamill v Jardine is scheduled as a headliner in the finale of The Ultimate Fighter season 11, on June 11th at the Palms Resort & Casino, Las Vegas. Matt Hamill was part of the cast of the TV reality series The Ultimate Fighter season 3. It launched his UFC career. Season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter begins on Wednesday, March 31st.
