Former UFC fighter Matt Hamill has a suggestion for heavyweight champion Jon Jones and UFC CEO Dana White.
Hamill currently holds the only victory over Jones from a 2009 bout where Jones was disqualified for landing a slew of 12-to-6 elbows, which was a then-illegal strike. Earlier this week, the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC) approved a rule change making the strike legal moving forward. Jones reacted to the news on social media, asking White to assist with getting the loss officially off of his record.
A former standout on The Ultimate Fighter and the first deaf competitor in UFC history, Hamill gave his thoughts on the matter, and suggested a rematch to settle it once and for all.
“Let’s cut [to the chase Dana White] — I know you’re desperate to get [Jon Jones] an undefeated record. I see how you want to profit from that! [It’s] also why you bail him out of all the other things.
“How about a rematch? I’ll be happy to fight him for a heavyweight title. If I beat him, I want a UFC belt. Let me know if Stipe Miocic backs out. I’ll take [it on] short notice, just remember he already lost to me!”
