One of the top UFC athletes is calling Utica his training base, and he's teaching local kids his craft.

Matt Hamill opened his training center in South Utica a few months ago.  Matt wrestled in college at RIT and did so well he was enshrined into the NCAA division III Wrestling Hall of Fame.  He now teaches local high school students what he learned. 

Matt is deaf and, with the help of a speech therapist, taught himself how to speak.

Hamill is training himself for the next UFC fight coming up on September 8th in London.  Matt is unbeaten as a light heavyweight, and so is his opponent.

The Matt Hamill Training Center is at 2007 Genesee Street, in Utica. 315-733-4467
