At long last, Matt Hamill finally is getting what he has been asking for for a while – and the UFC won’t start him slowly.
Hamill (10-2, 9-2 UFC) has been asking for a Top 10 opponent, and UFC president Dana White said after his last win that he’d get one. After a series of changes, Hamill gets arguably the most important fight of his career at UFC 130 against former light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
And thanks to five straight wins, Hamill, the only deaf fighter in the UFC, is riding high on confidence going into the May 28 fight.
“I know I’m going to break his will – I know I’m going to beat Rampage,” Hamill told host Ariel Helwani on a recent edition of “The MMA Hour.” “I’ve been training real hard and my conditioning and my skills and technique, striking and kicking are a lot better.”

Tito Ortiz will go after his first win since October 2006 when he meets Ryan Bader at UFC 132.
The two fighters confirmed the bout on their Twitter accounts, including Ortiz saying it was a fight UFC president Dana White wanted. The matchup was first reported Monday by MMA Weekly.
Ortiz, a former UFC light heavyweight champ, was scheduled to face Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in the main event of the UFC’s Fight Night 24 card on Spike TV in Seattle this Saturday. But he was forced out of the bout several weeks ago when he suffered a concussion and cut while training that required more than 20 stitches to his head. Phil Davis stepped up and will face Nogueira on Saturday.

Their draw in the main event of UFC 127 not yet a month old, BJ Penn and Jon Fitch have verbally agreed to a rematch at UFC 132 in July.
The UFC, continuing its recent trend of making fight announcements itself online and through social media, made the announcement at UFC.com early Thursday. Along with the Penn-Fitch fight, the UFC said lightweights Evan Dunham and George Sotiropoulos will square off.
Though the promotion hasn’t yet made the card official, UFC 132 is expected to take place in Las Vegas on July 2 as the company’s traditional Independence Day weekend card.

Saturday’s announcement that Zuffa, parent company of the UFC, had bought top rival Strikeforce took the MMA world by surprise.
It also gave UFC president Dana White a new No. 1 catch phrase when “business as usual,” spoken dozens of times during his interview with MMA Fighting and on Monday’s media call, replaced “he’s in the mix,” his previous favorite go-to response.
But even though, as White says, the UFC and Strikeforce will continue, for now, to operate the same way as they did last week, last month and last year – “business as usual” as separate promotional entities – it hasn’t stopped MMA fans from early salivation over some potential fights that used to be just pipe dreams.
And even though “business as usual” might prove to be legit and they may never happen, having the UFC and Strikeforce under the same banner at least can make us feel a little bit like Lloyd Christmas in “Dumb and Dumber”: “So you’re tellin’ me there’s a chance …”
Let’s take a look at a pair of dream superfights in each crossover weight class (lightweight to heavyweight) between current UFC fighters and current Strikeforce fighters. And hey, if any of them ever get booked, you can always say you read it here first.

Friday’s devastating earthquake in Japan has forced Yoshihiro Akiyama out of his scheduled bout at UFC 128 next week against Nate Marquardt. He will be replaced by Dan Miller.
The news was first reported by MMA Diehards, and the UFC confirmed the change quickly afterward at its official website.
UFC president Dana White initially reported on Twitter on Friday night that “Akiyama and his family are safe,” and that the Japanese fighter would be Stateside for the fight. But several hours later the news had changed.
“Yoshihiro Akiyama will not be able to participate at UFC 128 due to the tragedy in Japan,” White said in the UFC’s official statement.
