what a great man/great fighter. So much respect for this guy.

We watched a movie about his life in my ASL class. This man is so inspirational! I am not much of a wrestling fan but I just became a fan of the a hammer Hamill!!!

Today I met him and it was great. I didn't clearly understood him but he was an amazing motivational speaker.

The best fighter. Only man who defeated Jon Jones.

Love this badass dude, much respect to you Matt, I mean it man, from the bottom of my heart mate, I respect the shit out of you brother, keep on keeping on, Matt "The Hammer" Hamill!!!

Mat hammil came to my scholl today

Ok no bullshit, I was his neighbor. My grandparents bought the house next to him and I got to meet him and talking to him was amazing. I remember eating out with him one day after he took me and my dad around some of the places nearby and he told us about his life and it was very inspirational. His son was really funny and an amazing little guy. Matt Hamill is a great guy.

Anyone else shocked that closed captioning isn't available for this video?

This is so inspiring, i want this dude to get what he deserves and win!!

His uncle said "Listen" to his nephew, a deaf man.

UFC should bring him back, he may not be an exciting striker, but he will test any aspiring fighter, and any vet for that matter. This guy never seems to be an easy win for the best of the LHW's

one of my favorite fighter personalities great guy, great fighter, gets gassed fast as hell but still very explosive and fun

he is a legend already. Only fighter to ever beat Jon Jones :P

Matt Hamill is truly one of my heroes.

Man-crushing over here. Much respect for this guy. 💪🏼👊🏼🙌🏼

Lot of respect for this guy, I hope he wins this Saturday.

GO HAMMER!!!! My dad bought a movie of The Hammer and I watched it today. It is so amazing! I'm also profoundly deaf. Matt and I have lot of common senses, because I was the only deaf in a small town in my whole life and I have been struggle. I NEVER give up to achieving my goal for my Bachelor of Science degree in the future. I love being mommy that I have a very handsome little boy is 3 1/2 years old. Keep up and Go Hammer!!! Support to him!

Only man to ever defeat Jon Jones. Matt "The True GOAT" Hamill

I love Matt Hamill, he's a total badass. I love how he can take a man down like a bull 🐂.

My heart sank to my balls when Jon Jones gave him those elbows to his face.

your my inspiration matt i have alot of respect for you!! i hope to meet you one day

Why isn't there any closed captioning in this video???

i like this guy,his motivated & dedicated

I like his Rocky IV training methods.

Matt Hamill is a fricken' Icon.

can't believe i twittered hatt hammil all those songs

His grandfather said "listen", very poor choice of words

i love both these fighters, i think that rampage will win and get a title shot against jones. however i'd loved it to be fight of the night and for hammill to give it his all and earn the respect of all the fans. i would also love hammill to win.

@1pulse one of the rare decent comments made in any mma video

I never heard of Matt Hamill until I watched 'The Hammer'. Honestly, I have a lot of respect for him, he's a great fighter and a great wrestler. Who cares if he doesn't know proper English? At least people could understand him even though he's deaf.(I don't know anything about deaf people). People who say wrestling is gay... Tell that to every UFC or MMA fighters. I bet you that 90% of them did wrestling when they were young. I'm not talking about the fake WWE shit.

"Hear what made Hamil so strong..." UFC couldn't have picked a better description.

that pool shit is brutal!, much respect

Never knew he was deaf. Dope

thanks ufc

I hope he does well this fight

@maxi6116 There is no math involved. He trains in water once a week, he'd have to live at high altitude for training. 24 hours a day for the whole of his camp. Think before you comment please.

i got the most respect for this man

suprisingly, for someone who's been deaf since birth, he can speak really well. who needs subtitles.

The stone age of mma training

Yo, where's the English subtitles?!

UFC you don't need to subtitle Hamill, we understand him just fine. Save those subtitles for Nick Diaz lol

I saw a movie about him it was really good .

@maxi6116 Money isn't a problem for UFC fighters, lol. Underwater training is as intense as one makes it and a person can only go so far with it (i.e, when they have to breathe, they have to stop) whereas high altitude forces a change in the body.

i really like Rampage but Matt Hamill is just a warrior in life so i hope he gets the so wanted submission

Matt is a freakin savage

Matt hamil came to my school, got soccer kicked, and then raised his hand in victory

@wickedcusi Matt said while he was on TUF 3 that his family taught him how to speak when he was a kid.

The GOAT

i respect this guy

You would think that the WHOLE video would be captioned since a lot of his fans are deaf!!!!! Wtf?!?!?!

he sounds like adam sandle in the water boy. Good luck tomorrow matt

what a great story

The only guy to beat Jon Jones

quote of the day "Listen....I dont care if you're deaf!" lol 0:15

Now he's retired. :(

Hamill's pool training > Rampage's pool training. Fortunately the fight it in a cage on land and not underwater so its not much to go by.

hi sorry im new in ufc could someone tell me whats going on with his woice? hope he wins

@narutonumber500 i dont think you've watched The Ultimate Fighter, where Rampage kills the door...

Don't underestimate Hamill.

Matt Hamill is a G!

You have to respect Hamill.

@fathom26 yup, I totally agree, the more red blood cells, the more oxygen carried around the body, I just dont agree on the "back to the lungs" bit. Blood that comes back to the lungs will contain very little to none oxygen and gain oxygen again as it is pumped through the lungs. Anyways, this is my first time arguing about some unnecessary stuff on youtube so dont worry, different people differrent opinions. Also didnt know, he can read lips, thats cool stuff! Cant wait to see the fight :)

It's fuckin incredible how much this guy has accomplished... being deaf and still strong... maybe i shud learn a thing or two from this guy; have a speech impediment and that literally controls my life... doesn't even compare to how much he has to put up with,

Hmm I'm not sure about the training in water, it'd probably be more efficient to train at a higher altitude if I'm honest.

The Hammer!!!!!

Dude made Jon Jones tap by head butting his elbow.

@LVJ112 Nash has a lot more hair ,but I see the similar kind of look

the awkward moment when matt hamill gets interviewed and yells to the crowd .... I CANT HEAR YOU ?!!!

His game plan against Jones was so effective, using his nose to attack Jones's elbow

he is awesome

@OsoInfinite95 I know ye, I understood him perfectly don't see why they've got subtitles.

I actually met Matt when I was like 7

matt hammil is my friend rhylee hammils cousin

which first theme music of this video? anybody know?

Great video, I am really excited about this fight! But why is the coach talking to Hamill at 1:37, I thought he is death.. Also, ".. more red blood cells, more oxygen gets carried back to your lungs" cmon.. -.-

@ZwiebelkuchnEU.....idk how the pool builds the RBC's but RBC do carry oxygen

he is tj dillashaw who tried to fight ngannou

@joeisgonnakillu nice reference, it was my favorite of the series.........

He was my Trainer (Mat)

@fatlad1231 and in the description it says "Hear" what made Matt Hamill so strong.They tryin to be funny?

@PanicBlackEye all im saying is i had never seen any fighter train with it before the videos of fedor came out doing it in his schoolyard training videos

Matt Hamil good fighter much respect however his coach me me me oh and me again my expertise I'm like a NFL coach I know what it takes to be an elite fighter... What's your name bro ?

kinda rooting for Rampage, but if Hamill pwns him, i wouldn't even be mad.... Hamill is just that guy that you naturally want to win

Jon Jones thought being deaf wasn't enough, went for the eyes, if the ref gave him another 5 minutes he would have had a scalpel out going for his voice box to turn him into Helen Keller.

i really like him :D

@kickycrowbar how?

i really have alot of respect for matt, but i gotta go wih rampage on this one

Imagine fighters trying to get inside his head by trash takling xD

The real goat

@gompynl I'm not sure why really I just never took to him when he was on on TUF and he just pisses me off for some reason. Strange I know

Matt Hamill's gameplay is to lay on rampage for 15 mins like evans did

@dannyboytoon High altitude has oxygen, just very little, underwater you get none. you do the math.

@aabbcc5631 hes deaf, but he leanred to talk somehow and can understand others buy lip reading, they use sub titles because it makes it clear, although hes pretty articulate anyway

Must be great for when he fights under water

Hamill wins by decision. he will use his wrestling

He cant even make his own sandwiches. Dont say he doesnt put his deafness in front of him.

I won't count Hamill out anything can happen

What a fucking legend the only man who's defeated the goat jon bones jones

He's going to beat Rampage.

@dannyboytoon Underwater is much more intense and saves having to move to a higher altitude, think before you reply please.
