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

 

[Benny]

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 ass. 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.

 

[Benny]

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.

 

[Lars]

Fair enough.

Either way, Incredibly cool what he did for the disabled girl. That's likely going to be the highlight of her life.

Haha, before the fight I was telling my buddies (since the fight was in England again): "yeah, if you are Bisping, it must feel good having the peace of mind that, as long as you don't get subbed or KO'd, you've got the fight in the bag."

Well I became a Hamill fan the night he destroyed Bisping, lost the decision and then handled it with class...But now I have a whole new respect for that guy.

Unfortunately, I missed 84.

Yes, that is unfortunate.

 

[munky_3434]

i liked him from before. it was ashame he got hurt and could'nt fight. i did get a kick out of the fact that bisping dodged him and dropped to 185 before they could re-match

funny though that people were booing the decision. pretty sad when bispings home crowd booed him.

i wish i could find the other thread. it was a pic of hamill in a shirt that said "keep boo'ing i can't hear you.

Haha, now that's funny.

 

[munky_3434]

it was great.... you could tell it was after the fight

he had that big dopey smile, was bruised and swollen up and giving a big thumbs up

you know bisping probably watched that fight and cried himself to sleep. unfortunately we are'nt likely to see him loose in europe for some time. he is kinda the key for ufc's market over there, kinda like huerta is for mexico. just like kimbo in elietexc.....you can't de-rail the gravy train

 

[epsylum]

Yes, that is unfortunate.

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

 

[Benny]

There is no question that every time it is in England that they are going to be feeding Bisping a turd just like Kimbo...

Let's just say Bisping won't be fighting Anderson Silva in London anytime soon...

I'd LOVE to see it though.

 

[munky_3434]

i don't see him fighting sylvia. too bad ufc dropped lutter. him and bisping woulda been a decent fight. i mean really, jason "dooms" day c'mon. bisping needs a war with an okami or franklin to be taken seriously

Wait. Is he in the same weight class as Anderson Silva? If so, I would so take Spider over Bisping any day.

You, and the rest of the universe.

I think Bisping and his mother are the only 2 people that think he could beat Anderson.

 

[munky_3434]

yeah he dropped to 185 after he foughtevans and lost(i think it was evans), i wish hamill would drop to 185 and figh him again. i mean he is a decent mid tier fighter, but not nearly as good as he thinks he is
