I consider him a success already. He's already overcome so much and is an inspiration to deaf athletes everywhere.

No. he is not a success story yet. He will be when he gets the belt around his waist though...
you dont have to hold a belt to be successful. there's plenty of successful people who dont have belts

I am a fan of Bisping and disliked Hamill until that fight. He took the dubious decision with class and ended up looking all the better for it.

absolutely!!! with all the adversity this guy has gone through, then the biggest fight of his carrer he gets screwed on and he still came back to handle tim boestch who , literally, threw david heath around. hamill is an inspiration and a good fighter and i think he's definitly a success story. just my opinion

Hamill's story is pretty extraordinary. He could kick that Rudy guy's ass.
So yes, success.

I wouldn't say he's a UFC success story particularly. More so an inspirational/personal success story. He probably will never be a champ in the UFC, but that doesn't matter because 90% of fighters never taste gold. However, he did something, pursued, and fought against all odds and should be considered successful in everyones eyes. Its amazing what he has accomplished, but to say that its a UFC success story without great success in the UFC doesn't make sense.

you have to win the championship to be a ufc success story?
I see alot of people as havin a ufc success story even if they havent had a title. Joe Stevenson? Josh Koscheck? Diego Sanchez? Forrest Griffin? Rashad Evans? All of them have been been pretty successful.
