UFC light heavyweight Matt Hamill, who was on the wrong end of a split decision at UFC 75, wants a rematch with his opponent, “The Ultimate Fighter 3” winner Michael Bisping, as soon as December.
Hamill, a castmate of Bisping’s who campaigned for the first fight at London’s UFC 75 event earlier this month, says a recent surgery should only require two to three weeks of recovery time — not the six to 10 months that originally was speculated.
In a post on his official site, matthamill.com, the fighter stated:
While training for UFC 75 I developed a knee issue. My knee would lock up whenever I bent it past parallel. I was able to work through it and wanted to wait until after UFC 75 was over to get it taken care of… The day after I returned from UFC 75 I had a consultation with one of the best orthopedic surgeon’s in the country… It was a relatively minor arthroscopic procedure. I was diagnosed with a partially torn meniscus. This is why my knee was locking… I am happy to say that on 9/20/07, I underwent successful arthroscopic surgery to remove the torn piece of the meniscus. I am feeling better already and began my 2 to 3 weeks of rehab before going back to full time training.
After the controversial fight, UFC President Dana White said a rematch would be booked. Hamill confirms that UFC 78 in November was discussed — news MMAjunkie.com passed along this morning — but that the date was too soon because of the surgery.
However, Hamill says he’d be happy to fight at the UFC’s year-end show.
From matthamill.com:
The UFC did offer the rematch in November which I would love to take, however it’s just too close and I don’t want to rush it. I did tell the UFC that I would be ready by late December and would love to do it in Vegas on 12/29.
UFC 79 takes place Dec. 29 in Las Vegas and features a main event between current UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra and former champ Matt Hughes, who recently served as coaches on the latest season of “The Ultimate Fighter.“

Sounds good. Hope he beats the piss out of Bisping. He should take him to the ground this time and punish the fuck out of him. Good info SCSG.

ahhh, when you origionally posted it was in a quote from SinCity....... now I understand ;)
think you are wrong, but I understand yourpost.
I would love to see a rematch take place quickly after the origional, just to prove if Bisping deserved the victory(no) or if Hamill can throw some more sign language on Bispings face, neck and ears.

Houston would eat Bispings weak ass punches and walk right through him.
