Matt Hamill, a well known deaf MMA fighter, is slowly working his way to the top. Keith Jardine will be a tough opponent although probably not of the same caliber as Jones which I'm sure will be a fight with him soon enough.The UFC and Spike TV have just announced that a light heavyweight scrap between Keith Jardine and Matt Hamill will headline The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale on June 19th.
"Matt Hamill versus Keith Jardine is a battle between two fan favorites known for exciting fights," said UFC President Dana White. "Hamill is a powerful wrestler and Jardine an unorthodox striker but both have shown knockout power. Both of these fighters know that they need to win this fight to continue on their way up the light heavyweight ranks."
I remember seeing Keith Jardine visiting and watching the Desert Challenge Strongman game in Albuquerque, New Mexico on May 21, 2006. I was there competing in the under 200 lb category where I place 3rd. Not bad.

I wish I can see the fight. LV is too far. Met Matt recently at Deaf Expo. He is an affable fellow.
