How about his original opponent, Stephan Bonnar? When will he be ready to fight?

Why not Shogun, he is over rated and Hamill would beat him and show it!

A positive spin can be put on a lot of things that are appear to be disabilities. I think a lot of people focus better when doing a task while isolated.
I can see it helping him focus…but the guy needs to be able to receive some sort of corner and crowd feedback during fights. If he did he may have pounded Bisping (and other opponents) impressively enough to get more points or end the fight.
Get that man some kind of device to make him feel the crowd!
TOG

Stephan Bonnar sounds like the most reasonable choice. Everyone else is already booked for fights or just finished fighting.

Tito is out of UFC after his fight next month. Can’t happen. Hamil should win two or three more big fights and then go for the strap late next year.
I mean he has been unstoppable. He beat Bisping and he destroyed Boetch (sp) who honestly, I thought would beat him. Kid is an animal.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Classic. but on the real though, I see Hamill as championship material one day.

You’re joking surely…. Hamill makes Rashid Evans look like the LHW champion. Power to him for fighting with a disability but seriously, he is no chop.

Hamill took some nasty knees againts Boecsh and never gave up. I think he’s ready for the winner of Jardine/Silva. Heck, I’d even pay to see him fight Thiago Silva.

Hamill should fight against Bonnar cause that was the original scrap
Boesch is good, but he’s no Bonnar
Thats where he’ll be tested
I wouldn’t mind seein a “who’s the better wrestler” match against Rashad, hopefully Hammer could hand him his first loss then
Huge respect for Hamill because he’s not using it as any excuse and he’s a stand up guy
Very classy

I think KenFlo should move up in weight and face Skywalker. That way there would be balance in the universe and BJ can live a little longer.

Wonder if Matt still grapples w/ cows? Seriously, he is an inspirational fighter, good too.

I think he’s still on medical suspension for that nasty cut on his lip. So, once he’s all better, I’d like to see him fight with anybody from Brazil.

I say give him Shogun Rua! I think Liddell wants Shogun but if he needs to skip steps up that ladder and defeat a big name.
Bonnar might be his next fight but Shogun would be alot more exciting!
