Fightline.com: You fight in a very difficult division with a lot of big name fighters. Who do you feel are the best fighters at the top of your division now and how do you feel that you match up against these fighters?
Hamill: I think that Rampage and Forrest Griffin are the best fighters in my division. I hope to one day get up to their level.
Fightline.com: You've been called a fan favorite and a fighter that many people enjoy watching. Who are some fighters that you enjoy watching as a fan?
Hamill: George St. Pierre is a good fighter that I like to watch. He seems to be very well rounded in all areas of MMA.
Fightline.com: We've heard a rumor that you'd like to participate in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Is this true? Can you tell us a little bit about this?
Hamill: I have to train for one thing at a time and I chose to train for the April fight so that's what I have decided. No Olympics for me this year.
Fightline.com: From Dan Severn to Randy Couture and the Team quest guys, to Matt Hughes and on down to Frank Edgar and Tyson Griffin, it seems that wrestlers have done very well in this sport. Now a new wrestler, Brock Lesnar, has decided to dedicate himself to the sport. How do you think he'll do in MMA?
I watched him Saturday night and he is still learning. I feel with more time and training, he can do well.
We'd like to thank Matt Hamill's sponsors for allowing him to concentrate on fighting.
