Hamill: 'I will die before I tap'

Matt Hamill posted a statement on his Web site this morning days after his DQ win over Jon Jones. He said it best: Jon Jones didn't win and I didn't lose, and when explaining how he took those barrage of blows before Jones' 12-to-6 elbow ended the fight, he said simply, "I will die before I tap." I reported on Sunday that Hamill suffered a dislocated left shoulder that was popped back into place at the hospital, adding that referee Steve Mazzagatti was correct in not stopping the fight sooner.

Jones' camp has appealed the DQ decision. Whether it's upheld or not, I see a rematch. Neither fighter is satisfied with the result and both want to see a definitive winner to come out of this.
