Matt Hamill is out of retirement and will be back in the Octagon at UFC 152, gracing the main card for the first time in a fair while.
His opponent will be Roger Hollett, a Canadian making his debut on the card. Hollett is a Bellator veteran with good finishing ability and underrated skills.
Here is a head-to-toe breakdown for their fight.

UFC 152 officially ends a long drought that UFC 151 left behind when it got cancelled. With UFC 152 coming up though, there are multiple fighters on the card who face real risk.
There are three fighters that have the most to lose come fight night. Here are those men.
Matt Hamill
Matt Hamill returns from a brief retirement on the main card Saturday night to face tough opponent Roger Hollett. This is a big risk for Hamill, especially if he comes to the cage rusty.
Hamill not only has to prove that he is still a top-level competitor, but he has to do it against a guy trying to prove himself in Hollett.
It is Hollett‘s debut and he will be looking to make a big impression.
Don’t be fooled by Hollett. If you haven’t heard of him, look him up because he is very underrated. He is 13-3, on a five-fight win streak and has finished 11 of his wins.
In Hamill’s case, a loss here would likely finish his relationship with the UFC. He is currently riding a two-fight skid against the likes of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Alexander Gustafsson.
Despite his stellar record with the UFC, another loss would be devastating. Especially at the age of 35, he is no rookie anymore.
Hamill is a tough, skilled fighter, but he is in dire need of a win here.
Michael Bisping
Michael Bisping is always talking about how he deserves a title shot and he thinks a win over Brian Stann will earn him one, but where does he go if he loses this fight?
For one thing, Bisping is often scrutinized for not being able to get the job done against top fighters. Every time he has taken that step up in competition, he has been put away.
His last fight was a loss to Chael Sonnen. Whether or not you agree with that decision, a loss is a loss.
So, if Bisping loses here against Brian Stann, who is probably a top-15 fighter, will he ever be close enough to earn a title shot again?
One has to think probably not. A loss to Stann would push him far away from title contention, with guys like Chris Weidman, Alan Belcher and Tim Boetsch snooping around the top of the division.
This loss would leave the brash Brit between a rock and a hard place.
Jon Jones
One could say that Jon Jones is not taking any risk at all by fighting an aged middleweight like Vitor Belfort, but the scenario in which he loses makes this a huge risk for Jones.
Yes, this looks like an easy fight for Jones. But don’t underestimate the speed and power of Belfort. If he gets inside he could put Jones to sleep.
Now, I am not saying this is going to happen, quite the opposite. I think that Jones is going to manhandle Belfort in a match that was made just to draw money and keep Jones active.
But, if Jones were to lose to Belfort, it would severely hurt his legacy.
Jones better not underestimate Belfort come fight time.

UFC 152 comes to you hot this weekend with a couple of title bouts, including the first ever flyweight title bout between Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson.
Both men competed in the inaugural flyweight tournament. Benavidez knocked out Yasuhiro Urushitani to make it to the finals, while Johnson drew against Ian McCall before earning a decision win over him.
Here is a head-to-toe breakdown of the first ever UFC Flyweight Championship match.

During the time of UFC 20 to UFC 30, the UFC underwent many changes as MMA molded into the modern-day sport we now know. More familiar faces began to appear as more rules were implemented.
Whether it was crazy finishes to fights or the appearances of future stars, this period was extremely important and exciting.
Here are the best and most important moments from UFC 20 to UFC 30.

Do you enjoy a beer while watching fights? Well if you are of legal age like myself, of course you do, unless you are straight edge.
There are a number of MMA fighters that also enjoy a drink once in a while. Whether it’s Chuck Liddell or Clay Guida, MMA fighters are still social human beings that enjoy themselves an occasional adult beverage.
Here is a very unique list, as we look at 12 fighters and their alcoholic counterparts.
The UFC did not hold an event this weekend, but plenty of other promotions stepped up to fill the void. In New Jersey, Ring of Combat 42 held a solid card with a number of notable faces stepping in the cage. UFC veteran Mike Massenzio lost to…
The UFC did not hold an event this weekend, but plenty of other promotions stepped up to fill the void.
In New Jersey, Ring of Combat 42 held a solid card with a number of notable faces stepping in the cage. UFC veteran Mike Massenzio lost to Ronald Stallings in the main attraction. The knockout came via a vicious knee to the body. It is a setback that puts Massenzio on a three-fight losing streak.
Also on that card, notables Jamal Patterson and Jimmie Rivera won unanimous decisions in important bouts. Rivera, an Ultimate Fighter veteran, has been impressive enough to earn his way into the UFC.
Lastly on that card, Lithuanian star Deividas Taurosevicius beat Mike Santiago with a second-round armbar. He is on a three-fight win streak, which should be good enough to earn a call from the UFC for the featherweight stud.
In Houston, Legacy Fighting Championship 14 put on another good show headlined by a title fight.
Jeff Rexroad won the headliner with a modified triangle choke over Lucas Pimenta, dazzling the crowd with the surprising submission.
UFC and WEC veteran Antonio Banuelos made an unsuccessful flyweight debut, dropping a unanimous decision to unheralded Joshua Sampo. It is another setback that will hurt Banuelos‘ chances of returning to the UFC.
MTV’s Caged star Matt “Danger” Schnell made a successful pro debut on the card, winning a close split decision over Ryan Hollis. It is a good mark for a guy whose claim to fame was a lame reality show on MTV.
Over in Australia, PWP 5 was headlined by UFC veteran Bernardo Magalhaes. The jiu-jitsu ace added his first-ever knockout to his resume, putting Sonny Brown away in one round.
Poland’s largest MMA organization, KSW, held its 20th show over the weekend, headlined by the beloved Mariusz Pudzianowski. In just under four minutes, Pudzianowski knocked out opponent Christos Piliafas, much to the delight of Polish fans.
Another top Polish fighter, Jan Blachowicz, earned a unanimous nod with his win over Houston Alexander. The win over the UFC veteran should be enough for Blachowicz to get a call from the UFC.
In the UK, BAMMA 10 was held, headlined by Rob Sinclair and UFC veteran Andre Winner. In a close fight, Sinclair prevailed via split decision, making it his fifth straight win.
Also on the card, UK fight staples Jack Marshman and Denniston Sutherland both won their fights. Marshman submitted Andrew Punshon via triangle choke, while Sutherland won a unanimous decision over Lee Barnes.
Furthermore, UFC veteran Curt Warburton won his fourth straight fight since being released by the promotion. He won a unanimous decision over Lee Wieczorek to get that win.
At AFC 11 in Canada, UFC veterans Joe Doerksen and Kalib Starnes met in the main event. Doerksen beat the infamous “running man” via unanimous decision to stay in the win column.
Lastly, at Road FC 9 in South Korea, Melvin Manhoef headlined the card with a split-decision win over Jae Young Kim. It was a big win for the Muay Thai machine, whose striking is almost second to none.
Also, legendary giant killer Ikuhisa Minowa earned a submission victory over Jin Soo Yuk. He won via kimura, which will likely continue to extend his awesome career.
All in all, it was a great weekend if you are into regional MMA. Some big names won and others lost. Either way, they entertained all who watched.
