Matt Hamill has achieved the biggest win of his life.
A veteran of "The Ultimate Fighter 3," Hamill made history in his UFC career, becoming the first deaf fighter to compete in the promotion. Now retired, the 48-year-old Octagon veteran celebrated the start of 2025 better than he could've possibly hoped. Deaf since birth, Hamill obtained what he called "the most powerful digital hearing aids ever made," allowing him to hear his children's voices for the first time.
In a moving appearance on "The Ariel Helwani Show," "The Hammer" reflected on the remarkable experience.
"When I was born, like 1 or 2 years old, I had an old-fashioned box," Hamill said.
