Gustafson vs Hamill Thread

He's got a gym and bar so will have income from that. Smart move really as he'll probably make same money from concentrating on them then he would fighting on the undercards and trying to work his way back up. He'll probably get the competitive urge back in a year or so and come back...same old same old

Wish we would've had this tidbit before the fight... would've put more on AG...

"To be honest with you, after 'Rampage,' he was done," Hamill's trainer and manager, Duff Holmes, today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "He told me, 'I just can't stand the constant pain.'"

So will this go down as the biggest win of his career?

I always admired Hamill for how he acted like such a douche on TUF yet managed to get away with it!

Being on the same show as Bisping, and you thought Hamill came off as the douche?

What did Bisping do on TUF to come off as a douche?

Hamill was the one showboating and pissing everybody off in wrestling sessions, going down on his knees and outwrestling people, showing off

Vaughany:
I respect your MMA knowledge and handicapping skills way too much. When I watched that series of TUF, Bisping came off as a water down version of the full blown douche bag we get to see on a regular basis today (in my opinion). I didn't see Hamill that way at all. Hamill was more of a simpleton who no doubt got special treatment from Tito, but likely deserved it.

Well yeah maybe a water down version, but no way near what he has been more recently.

I haven't watched that season in a while, but wasn't his injury one the doctor's wouldn't clear him for? I remember him wanting to fight as it was likely he was getting paired up against Bisping.

I do remember him eating PB&J like it was the only meal on earth.

Yeah I dont remember exactly about the injury, was a couple of years since I watched it myself, could be wrong but I vaguely remember that he was a drama queen about some injury/ilness.

Found this video http://www.ultimatefighter.com/fighter/danny-abbadi its funny that he´s saying that "we became more then friendship", what does that even mean?

and you could see Hamill bossing Danny around (about 29 seconds in). Funny shit
