In a change of plans brought about when Thiago Silva was removed from the show, UFC 130 now has a new light heavyweight bout for its main card.
Former light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson will fight Matt Hamill on the UFC’s Memorial Day weekend show, which will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 28 in Las Vegas.
The news of the signing was reported Friday by Heavy.com. Hamill’s head coach, Duff Holmes, confirmed the news to MMA Fighting and said Hamill had signed the bout agreement earlier in the day.
