Tito Ortiz: Matt Hamill “Clearly” Beat Michael Bisping!

Tito Ortiz: Matt Hamill “Clearly” Beat Michael Bisping
Posted by MMA Junkie on September 16, 2007
Add Tito Ortiz to the list of people who thought Matt Hamill got shafted at UFC 75.
The UFC light heavyweight served as a coach on “The Ultimate Fighter 3” for both Hamill and Michael Bisping, and he saw a clear winner in his two students’ recent fight at UFC 75. Ortiz says that not only did Matt Hamill win, but he also challenged the UFC to “do the right thing” after what he perceived to be a botched decision at the Sept. 8 event.
Hamill, a three-time NCAA Division III national wrestling champion, lost a controversial split decision to Bisping at the Sept. 8 event. Despite the fight taking place at the O2 Arena in London, England, even Bisping’s own countrymen booed the decision.
So, too, did Ortiz, who recently posted his thoughts on MMA.tv’s popular messageboard, The Underground Forum.
Wrote Ortiz:
"After watching the fight between Matt and Mike, it was clear to me and everyone, that Matt clearly won this fight. I felt I needed to speak out on this since Matt is my boy. He trains hard and delivered 100%. The UFC needs to come out of their silent hiding and make a call on this. They obviously reward matches to who THEY want to win, not to the top competitor. So, here it is… I challenge the UFC to actually do the right thing for Matt Hamill… Tito Ortiz"
Obviously, Ortiz isn’t the most partial of analysts. Hamill was Ortiz’s first pick on the show, and the two formed a strong bond during the series. Hamill event spent some time after the series training with Ortiz’s Team Punishment.
Additionally, Ortiz doesn’t necessarily have the warmest of relationships with the UFC or UFC President Dana White. Still, though, he’s simply echoing the sentiments many fans have expressed since the event aired eight days ago.
