I had to make this thread. People seem to think he is the next coming of Dan Gable or something. He was a Division III champ. He is not olympic caliber. I am not saying he is bad, or that a DIII title doesn't mean anything (I am a DIII wrestler myself). Just because they said he was olympic caliber on a TUF commercial, does not mean it is true.

And there's extensive wrestling fanatics on the board that support his wrestling ability as probably top 10-15 in mma.

It's not just about his titles. It's about his domination, and his senior year where he beat numerous D1 wrestlers.

He's not a wrestling god, but he's a very dominant wrestler who's style can translate well into MMA.

Wasn't he an Olympic hopeful for the 2008 'lympics?

[bradkin]

Didn't he finish 8th in the Olympic trials? I could be wrong. I often am.

Ask yourself this. Who is a better wrestler than Hamill in the UFC today other than Josh Koscheck? He doesn't have to be the best wrestler in the world he just has to be better than
his opponents.

I have not even seen him wrestling (at all)

[Flashfan]

He was first alternate on the Olympic team in 2004,he was in Greece with the US team so yes he is Olympic calibre

I don't see any olympic trials stuff here

For example they have Mark Coleman's finish in the trials

He went to a Division I school (Purdue i think) but then choose to transfer to another (Rochester Institute of Technology) as there was a larger amount of deaf students
