UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - Rack up a win for Matt "The Hammer" Hamill. Hamill's return to the UFC was sold out at his bar downtown. "The Cage" was packed with fans and friends who were anxious to see him in his first bout since retiring last year.

"I trained with Matt. Actually, I had the privilege of sparring with him last week," said Antoni Tedesco. "He's definitely ready for this fight. He's hungry. He hasn't been in the game for a while. He's going to come in like he just started again. So, it's going to be a good thing."

"The Hammer" defeated Roger Hollet by unanimous decision.
