http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/8/8/2351638/ufc-133-results-ufc-matt-hamill-retire
Cincinnati.com has the story on Hamill's decision to step away:


HE SAYS HE'S DONE AND THAT'S GOOD. Local UFC man made good,
Matt Hamill, Loveland HS grad, is going to retire. That's a good and
wise move, given he has lost his last 2 fights. The one Saturday night
was especially horrific. Matt was taken down in the 2nd period
and blasted repeatedly in the face and head. By the time the ref stopped
the bout, Matt was defenseless. I know lots of people enjoy this sport.
But when a guy you know is getting brutalized, it's absolutely the worst thing I've ever witnessed.

Matt will be OK. He has a gym in Utica, NY, is part owner of a new sports bar, I believe, and has had a movie done on his life.

I'm very glad he's done with ultimate fighting. No disrespect to
those who practice it and follow it, but it's way over the top brutal
and, to me, senseless.

Someone needs to speak to him. He needs to hear some encouragement.

If Matt thinks retiring is a sound decision then it is.

He would beat Tito again in a rematch. Still plenty of guys he would beat.

Gotta hear it from Matt. The Blog writer does sound like he would want anyone who gets punched in the face to retire and mad assault charges to be thrown down at MMA events.

Seems like whoever wrote that blog basically sucks at life and should eat dicks. That blog sounds disrespectful to Matt and sounds like someone who knows nothing of our sport.

I wouldn't think BE would put it up on the front page if it didn't have some merit to it. Maybe they have it as a fanpost but not as a feature on the main page. Even if the source is a MMA hater, I'm sure there is truth to it.

I don't think this is true. When Matt was asked about it he replied "I haven't heard anything".

The real reason he's retiring is because he still has nightmares about being raped by those judges after the Bisping fight. I can't imagine the horror
