Watch Matt Hamill rip through fellow UFC vet Luiz Cane in 38 seconds for first win since 2012

Matt Hamill is still competing in professional MMA, and on Friday, “The Hammer” picked up his first win in nearly five years.

Hamill (12-8), a 15-fight UFC veteran and cast member on Season 3 of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series, snapped an ugly four-fight losing skid with a 38-second knockout win over Luiz Cane (17-7) on Friday at “Fight 2 Night 2” in Foz do Iguacu, Parana, Brazil.

It was a left hand that did the trick for Hamill early in the light heavyweight bout with Cane. He connected with a big shot that stunned his foe and led to a flurry of uppercuts that gave Hamill his first victory since a unanimous decision win over Roger Hollett at UFC 152 in September 2012.

Outside of the fight with Hollett, “The Hammer” had lost six of seven fights dating back to the best run of his career from 2009-2010, when he defeated the likes of Tito Ortiz, Keith Jardine, Mark Munoz, and, most controversially, Jon Jones.

Hamill, 40, has announced his retirement from MMA competition on more than one occasion over the years. It hasn’t stuck quite yet, though, and the win over Cane is likely to extend his career even further.
