TUF 10 Finale: Jon Jones Destroys Matt Hamill In The First Round But Gets Disqualified For Illegal Blow

by Kelvin Hunt on Dec 5, 2009 11:35 PM EST in News

The first round starts and Jones looks much larger than Hamill. Jones is scoring with puches and Hamill looks to counter with leg kicks. Jones lands a nice right hand and a body kick and now a nice leg kick. Hamill shoots for a single leg, but Jones defends and lands a punch in the process. Jones with his hands down low and misses the big spinning elbow. Jones with a good leg kick. Jones trips Hamill to the mat and takes the full mount almost immediately. Jones lands some VISCIOUS ground and pound. Punches, elbows galore for like a minute straight. Hamill is trying to defend, but he's bleeding pretty badly now and it's evident that some of the punches/elbows are getting through. The referee stops the fight and tells Jones that he threw an illegal elbow. They take a point away from Jones, but Hamill is still down on the mat with a pool of blood in his eyes. The referee asks if he's done, and then stops the fight. The judges disqualify Jon Jones and award Matt Hamill the win.

Bones Jones won that fight.

Yeah, I’m sure the illegal elbow was the reason Hamill lost. Psssh.

He handled the weak call very professionally though. The kid’s got a big future.

i would hope so, cos the elbows were very unprofessional…his own fault. dude does deserve to win if he plays outside of the rules regardless of how he was doing before the illegal strikes. theres a good reason theyre fucking illegal, look at hamills face dude. great call, great judging
