In his entire 21-fight career, Matt Hamill fought many of the best fighters in the world and got his hand raised in victory many times. However, throughout his time as a top-level mixed martial artist, “The Hammer” not once was able to hear the roar of the crowd as they cheered him on, as he has been deaf since he was born.
This didn’t prevent the Ohio native from becoming a successful fighter, though, as Hamill recorded 10 wins inside the UFC Octagon at one point, as well as a superb college wrestling career.
