Really touching dude, thanks for taking the time to post it (along with the pics and vid). Also nice to know that outside of the cage, the majority of these guys are class acts.

Kudos to you.

So true...

The best part is, Matt didn't do this because the cameras where there, or because it was going to be shown to a bunch of people. He did it because he really wanted to.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

I wish I'd looked at this sooner.

Touching story. Matt Hamill is definitely a classy man.

Thread-starter, all the best to you and your family.

Wow this is an awesome story, very touching to see how Matt could relate with your daughter by sign language like they did. I already had the upmost respect for Matt as a person and fighter and now its through the roof
