First it was BJ Penn, then Nick Diaz, and now Matt Hamill (Pictured) has decided to cut his retirement short. According to Yahoo! Sports, Hamill will make his return to the big leagues against Octagon rookie Roger Hollett at UFC 152.
“The Hammer” called it quits after being violently put down by Alexander Gustafsson last August at UFC 133. Prior to that, the likeable wrestler dropped a unanimous decision defeat to Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 130.
The 35-year-old emerged onto the mixed martial arts scene in 2006 as a
contestant on the third season of “The Ultimate Fighter.” He owns a
respectable 10-4 record, with all but his first professional bout coming
under the UFC’s banner.
Hamill is the only legally deaf athlete to ever compete in the UFC.
He’s also the lone man alive to hold a W over reigning light heavyweight
king Jon Jones – albeit via disqualification.
Hollett enters the planet’s premier MMA promotion riding a five-fight
winning streak. He most recently took a split decision victory over
John Hawk at “Bellator 57” in November.
source  I like this, always been a fan Matt's. | |

| I don't think he stands much of a chance to move up the ladder. He may catch a few fights of guys falling off but really does anybody give him a chance of moving anywhere in the top 10? | |
