I have no idea why Hamill decided to unretire, I've never been in a top athlete's shoes so I don't have that spark that they have that always tells them they can be the best even when reality says otherwise, but this fight has brutal 1st round KO written all over it and I predict Hamill will retire again.
He's a nice guy, but he doesn't like getting hit in the face, which is a bit of a problem in this sport.

I think his wins over washed up Keith Jardine and Tito Ortiz made people think he had more potential than he actually had. We keep forgetting that at the time Tito fought with a fractured spine, no knees and watermelon peel replacing his shoulder blades ... not like now, when he's healthy and in the best shape of his life building a new brand under a company who cares about him ;)

Anyway, on topic... I've been going back and fourth on this one. I think Hamill will surprise everyone here though.

I dont care if we ever agree Ed, I can still respect your opinions and gain from your perspectives. I just dont see why its necessary to call her a illegitimate woman when voicing what you did...People kill themselves over gender issues, its a real thing. Sorry for being so serious, its a touchy subject for me.

Also, Silva's rank has dropped substantially due to non-fighting issues, so he's ranked beneath his skill level, so from a rankings point of view it sorta makes sense. It's a Brazil card, they've got a Brazilian fighter who's back on the rise so they matched him up with the first LHW who "made sense" yet is very beatable. They need as much Brazilian "names" as they can with 13 shows planned there in 2013 and Thiago Silva is a big name when he's winning and not pissing heat ... he's a finisher and he's already got the fanbase to headline some Brazilian shows if he can put together some sort of a win streak ...

I understand that the implication that a transgendered woman is not a "real" woman is offensive to transgendered women. Now, I say "live and let live." I don't want to offend anyone over something that likely caused them a lot of anguish in their lives. I don't mind calling them "real" women (or "real men" on the other side of things), however the reality is there is a distinction between them and people that were born female that sometimes has to be referred to. I guess the question is, in the context of a conversation with a transgendered person or about transgendered issues, is there a PC way to refer to females that were born females without calling them "real women?"
