People assume Hamil has better wrestling credentials but Randys credentials are a lot better then Matts. Couture even won an award for being the top Greco Roman in the country one year.

I don't think he could beat chuck or randy ... but he does have the potential to become a great fighter .. he has areas he needs to improve on .... but no ones game is perfect....

I like Matt Hamill but I know he has his limitations. He beat Bisping in the eyes of me and a plenty of others, if he would have just got that win, he would have already fought by now and things would be improving but he's been sidelined and now Tim Boetsche looks poised to beat him.

Ah, Matt Hamill seemed cool. I'd hang with him and make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And he did beat Bisping...

I'm sure he's a nice guy and such, sure he wasn't treated with alot of respect during TUF3 and he seemed go hard in practice and so on.
I agree with most everything you said, except the above. TUF3 portrayed him as a complete tool, 10x worse than Bisping, which couldn't be done by editing alone even with the most creative measures, and he seemed to only go hard in practice when he was wrestling and hurting his teammates. Whenever the tides were turned, he acted like a sullen little EMO bitch.

this is a common thought be absolutely wrong. In no way is hamill more decorated, he didnt even wrestle D1. A gold medal at the deaf olympics is ... well ...
