		<description>Matt Hamill didn't tear his ACL, he had a torn meniscus and has already had surgery.  The UFC wanted a rematch with Bisping coming up in Cincinnatti but Matt said he wouldn't be ready to fight by then but should be by December 29th in Vegas.  
If he comes back at full strength with no limitations, I don't see a way how Bisping can win.  Hamill will pound the piss outta Bisping.</description>

		<description>I think the rematch will be good. Stop all the trash talkin' and get your minds ready for a second re-match. Plain and simple.

They are both great fighters.

		<description>[quote comment="151064"]I doubt Any fighter has fought with A REAL torn acl.

IVE  torn my ACL and there is no way anyone could fight after that kinda injury .

"might Require Surgery" ????????????
If you tare your ACL You have to get Surgery. Its A MAJOR injury..

X-Rays , MRI's , Ultrasounds  Then Surgery And Then X rays And Then Months and Months of Pysiotherapy .. It Took more than a full year to recover.. And  still your Knee will never be the same.[/quote]

I tore the ACL in my right leg and delayed surgery for several months in order to finish two tournaments. So you can still compete with a torn ACL. It depends how bad the tear is and how much the fighter is willing to bear the pain. You must not be able to take any pain.</description>

		<description>[quote comment="150867"]I have been a Matt Hamill fan actually before he was on TUF, because I have seen him wrestle at tournaments before considering he lived in Loveland Ohio, and would wrestle in Cincinnati for tournys.

He is a very class act guy, he might come off as cocky to some people, but if you respect him, he respects you.

I love it how now everybody is on The Matt Hamill bandwagon, nobody liked him during TUF, nobody liked him at UFC 66,  but now everybody loves him.

Weird.[/quote]

The Matt Hamill Bandwagon? You act like he just upset a top fighter and everyone just jumped aboard. Just because you saw the guy wrestle in a few tournaments doesn't give you the right to judge his fans and supporters. I'm curious, what does a fan need to do to support Matt Hamill and not be accused of "jumping on his bandwagon"?
People are showing their support for a guy who displayed a tremendous amount of character, heart and repect. What is wrong with that? It's not like everyone is riding him because he just upset a top 5 LHW.

Most of the people I know became fans of Hamill after hearing his story and seeing him compete on TUF. Most of them think he would have won (Just like he did at ufc 75). Even the one's who did not think he was any good still had a ton of respect for him because of his achievments (especially considering the obstacles that he had to overcome).

I read and post on MMA message boards daily. Hamill gained A TON of fans and support during the show. The fighters in the house did not like him. But a large number of MMA fans and viewers of the show really did.

Sure, of course there are people out there that dislike him. Some people thought that he was a little cocky and arrogant. That is how it goes with every fighter in the world. Personally, I didn't think he was arrogant at all. I actually thought the other fighters were being idiots because of the way they were treating him some of the time. It was good to see that atleast Abadi had his back. I think you are just a little bit too full of yourself. Maybe that is what confused you. You do not seem very bright. Just because the fighters in the house didn't like him doesn't mean that none of the fans did.

I agree that no one like him at UFC 66. I myself did not like him at UFC 66. However, that is only because he did not fight at UFC 66. He fought at UFC 68. I was pulling for him big time. Besides becoming a big fan of his during the show, I wanted him to smack Rex Holeman around.

War Hamill!!! Hamill by TKO (referee stoppage) in the rematch.</description>

Therefore I could care less about matt Hamil. It will take him at least 2 more years to become a complete enough fighter to make some noise in the division. We get it, he got robbed, he is a class act, and he is a warrior for fighting hurt. Now please enough is enough, can we please stop talking so much about this c-level fighter. This isnt what I call new.

What I wanna know is who Arlovski, Big Nog, and Randy are fighting next. Thats what I call news!

Chuck better beat Jardine so that we can c chuck vs. wandy!!!!!!!!![/quote]

Then why are you bothering to read this segment? There are other news that UFCmania.com is already providing. If you're sick of hearing Matt Hamill, then don't read it. Jeez.</description>
