Rare post fight picture of Hamill vs Ortiz


Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Here's a rare post fight picture of Tito Ortiz delivering an underhook shot to the chin of the well known deaf MMA Matt Hamill. You won't find this picture anywhere else except on Kokonut Pundit. But it's not a picture you'd expect seeing how Hamill allowed himself to take one on the chin by Ortiz...all in the name of rough housing fun.  A post fight picture after the TUF3 show. Of course, this group picture was taken over 4 years ago. Yet it is just bizarre considering the turn of events not knowing that these two MMA fighters would come to blow someday but 4 years later that revelation has come true today at the UFC 121 fight with Hamill versus his former MMA coach. Watch the pre-fight presser video with Ortiz and Hamill (not captioned).  The UFC 121 fight starts at 7 PM (Pacific Time)/10 PM (Eastern Time).

ADDENDUM: Matt Hamill wins the fight! Watch the post fight video interview of Matt Hamill in caption!

In the pre-fight presser video, Hamill is shown with his hands (apparently signing) blocked by a fuzzy gray rectangle that did not appear elsewhere in the video.

This is not acceptable and gives me a bad impression of the MMA public relaltions system.

I bookmarked a free live stream site to watch this fight. I hope it'll come through ok.

Which is better than paying 45 bucks for PPV or driving 30 minutes to watch it at Buffalo Wild Wings/Hooters.

That's the one thing the MMA is lacking is the acknowledgement of the hearing loss community when it comes to these pressers.

Candy,

My wife and I will be going to Buffalo Wild Wing in Vancouver to watch the fight there. Might as well spend $45 on food while we're there and watch it on a big tv screen at the same time.
