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!!!

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!!!

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

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.

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

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.

Mat hammil came to my scholl today

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

Matt Hamill is truly one of my heroes.

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

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

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

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.

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

@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.

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

I like his Rocky IV training methods.

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

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

@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 like this guy,his motivated & dedicated

thanks ufc

Yo, where's the English subtitles?!

Matt Hamill is a fricken' Icon.

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

There are a lot of great trash talkers in the UFC...but Hamill is the GOAT of trash listeners.

The GOAT

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

He went to our school as a motivator and also to teach us a couple of wrestling technics. Matt told us how he got into an octagon against this elite mma fighter and blocked some ruthless elbows with his forehead. He persevered and won the match when all odds were against him.

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

Matt Hamill is a G!

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 .

i got the most respect for this man

I hope he does well this fight

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

The stone age of mma training

i respect this guy

which first theme music of this video? anybody know?

can't believe i twittered hatt hammil all those songs

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.

Never knew he was deaf. Dope

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

that pool shit is brutal!, much respect

The only guy to beat Jon Jones

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

Don't underestimate 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 :)

he is tj dillashaw who tried to fight ngannou

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 ?

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,

You have to respect Hamill.

@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

He was my Trainer (Mat)

0.26 Silence of the lambs??

he is awesome

@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

The real goat

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.

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

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

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

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

Hamill wins by decision. he will use his wrestling

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

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.. -.-

matt hammil is my friend rhylee hammils cousin

what a great story

The Hammer!!!!!

@steve24653 nearly everyone uses the tyre with the hammer

Now he's retired. :(

@kickycrowbar how?

@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

Goat!!! Only man who beats Jon Jones💪👊

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

Dude made Jon Jones tap by head butting his elbow.

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

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

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

I actually met Matt when I was like 7

@SteoMurraay10 oh that sucks :(, sorry if i annoyed any fans, i think hes awesome :D

this makes me a bad person but so what HEAR what made Hamill so strong and where he is testing his limits during this training camp

@manz92 ok thanks sir

rampege the best!!!

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