Matt Hamill Biopic 'The Hammer' Light On MMA, But Well Worth Seeing
When you look back at the post-2005 boom period in mixed martial arts, it's pretty incredible that Matt Hamill didn't get more national recognition for what he accomplished as a deaf professional athlete. Over a 14-fight career spent almost completely in the UFC, Hamill competed against and beat...
