Just hours before he was set to return from retirement, Matt Hamill has withdrawn from tonight’s WSOF 19 event.


WSOF rep Mike Afromowitz announced the change on Twitter. MMAjunkie subsequently confirmed with WSOF officials it was an illness that forced Hamill out of the bout.


The withdrawal forced a series of changes on tonight’s event.


Hamill’s intended opponent, Thiago Silva, now faces Teddy Holder, who was scheduled to fight Jake Heun. Meanwhile, Heun gets Clifford Starks, who was scheduled to fight Eddie Arizmendi.


Arizmendi goes without a fight but is expected to receive his contracted show and win money.


More on this in just a moment.
