My daughter met Matt Hamill today... - Sherdog Mixed Martial Arts Forums

this is about as classy as any professional athlete could get.

[ashylarry]

Thats awesome. I have always liked him as a fighter.

[munky_3434]

yeah, normally i'm a cynical prick but this was pretty decent. you dont see enough like this. i liked him a lot before, but wow! the ufc can't pay for good P.R like that

[Bazooka Joe71]

Yeah I saw that over at sherdog the other day. I definitely like him a lot now...

That Bisping/Hamil in Manchester was an absolute travesty...Hamil handled it with class and Michael "the turd" Bisping TALKED $*** after the fight!!!


BTW:

his is about as classy as any professional athlete could get.

That's about as classy as human being can get.

+1

I was a fan of Bisping's up until that fight. I have been trying to get my dad into watching MMA (I mean grown men beating on each other, that is totally up his alley ) and that was one he actually tried to watch all the way through (IIRC that was the Jackson vs. Henderson fight). Even my dad could tell Hamill handed Bisping his ***. It also seemed to be the night of the decision as almost all of the fights went to it. It turned him off of MMA more than anything as he thought it was boring and apparently fixed so the Brit wins in England.

Now Bisping's last fight on Sat, he pretty much owned that dude.

Why was it the rest of Hamil's team disliked him on the show? I don't remember that season all that well. I remember in general liking the guy though.

Yeah epsylum, that PPV would NOT be the one I'd have wanted to show a fence sitter, too bad he didn't give it another chance and watch UFC 84, that would have changed his mind.

He went 210% in practice and was hurting his own team mates(partially because he can't hear and partially because he just didn't care I guess, because afterwards his sign language guy would tell him to ease up). Also, he expected people to wait on him, I'm guessing since he was handicapped he had had that treatment his entire life, but he expected it from the guys on the show too, which didn't sit well with the other professional fighters.

Unfortunately, I missed 84.

Yes, that is unfortunate.

Trust me, it was for a good reason (a pretty much once in a lifetime opportunity for fun).
