Sorry if this has been brought up, but didn't I read they are making a Matt Hamil movie. Something like this needs to be included.

I'm not going to retaliate with anything that would lower me to your level, you effectively portrayed to the world the type of person you are.

To everyone else, thank you for the kind words and the uplifting responses. It really was a special day for my daughter and one that she will never forget. My wife and I were amazed that our daughter was able to learn something like sign language, especially on her own, and Matt only reinforced in her that working hard was beneficial. It's like the stories you hear when an autistic child learns how to play the piano or has one specialty. My wife and I feel blessed that we were able to experience this and obviously, we are very happy to see our daughter get so enthused about something and for the 1st time in her life, feeling so special.

Thanks again to Matt and Tim, we could never repay you for what you did.

On a side note, Matt has healed nicely and is looking towards his next fight on PPV. I thought I heard Tim say it was in August or September but I may be wrong on that so don't quote me. Matt just purchased 30 acres of land just outside of Utica (in the Schuyler area) where he is going to build a home and a gym.

Thanks again to all you 'doggers, I've gained alot of respect for you guys.
Not that you need any advice from me, but as difficult as it is, I would ignore any inappropriate comment. It's a fine line between feeding these dopes what they need, and putting them in their place. Thankfully, in this thread obscene posts are far and few between. I was one of your first responses and I'm glad to see how this thread as turned out. A couple of misdirected monkeys haven't screwed it up.

Very touching story! (got teary eyed myself reading it) I'm so happy for your daughter to have such a good role model to look up to. Not sure if you know but there is a movie being made about him that I am sure she would love to see.

I had the pleasure of meeting Matt in Montreal the day before UFC 83 and the way he treated his fans was second to none. Class act all the way.

Best wishes to you and your family and WAR "THE HAMMER"!!!!!!
