UFC Breaking News: After UFC 133 Loss, Matt Hamill Will Retire

At UFC 133 Saturday night, Matt Hamill faced off against the up-and-coming prospect Alexander Gustafsson as part of the preliminary card.

Gustafsson was able to handily handle Hamill and earned a second-round TKO victory.

According to bloodyelbow.com, Matt Hamill will now retire.

Hamill took the fight with Gustafsson on short notice, and it was coming off a main event, unanimous decision loss to Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 130.

It was Hamill's second consecutive loss, and the first time that he had dropped two straight in his career.

This is some shocking news, as nobody was really expecting Hamill to retire, seeing as his losses were against top competition and the up-and-comer Gustafsson.

From cincinatti.com via the bloodyelbow article:

"

"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 two fights. The one Saturday night was especially horrific. Matt was taken down in the second 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."
