and poor guy shouldve got the Bisping decision.

I seriously busted a beer bottle when that one came down. As soon as they read the first judge's scorecard that had it for Bisping, i said to myself, "They aren't going to take this from Matt, just because they are in England" and they did. :ihit

I guess I'm not real sure about what the amazing thing he did here was. He met a fan. He didn't go out of his way to meet the girl, someone else did the work to get them together.

I think the "amazing" thing is the retarded girl that started teaching herself sign language... ;)

The fact that Hamill was nice and dropped what he was doing to meet her isn't a huge surprise...MMA fighters in general are very good with fans...

And she was inspired by him.

How many athletes will stop what they are doing to even glance at a fan? He not only stopped he brought over his daughter to meet her.

He didn't save someones life but it was a cool moment and it made that entire families year probably. They have probably had a very hard life raising that girl and to suddenly have an entire legion of fans appreciate their hardwork and hardship is very special.
