Bleacher Report’s Darren Wong:
Compared to the other UFC events so far this year, there seems to be something(s) missing from UFC 130. More than anything else, since the cancellation of the title fight between Frank Edgar and Gray Maynard, UFC 130 seems to be missing a “true main event.”
The replacement main event between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt Hamill doesn’t seem to hold too much appeal with fans.
The star power of Rampage in this case doesn’t seem to be enough by itself to really get people jazzed up.
For his own part, Jackson is partially to blame because his apparent disinterest in MMA and his desire to cross over into acting aren’t really that encouraging to fans.
On the other side of the main event, Hamill is an underdog story, but taking on Jackson seems like a bridge too far for MMA’s most notable deaf competitor.
For the fight itself, it looks to be a complete wipeout for Jackson. Jackson has held his own in the wrestling department against the likes of Dan Henderson, Matt Lindland and Kevin Randleman. Those three are all better-credentialed wrestlers than Hamill, so it seems pretty unlikely that Hamill is going to be able to accomplish enough in the wrestling to win a decision.
