Matt Hamill is a former Olympic-level Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestler, Ultimate Fighter contestant (eliminated due to injury) and current UFC fighter. He is also deaf, and must look at his corner in order to lipread their instructions. Apparently a movie is being produced about him.

I saw this story on SportsCenter this morning: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/otl/news/story?id=4371874

Leroy Sutton's left leg is amputate below the knee, and his right below the hip.

Dartanyon Crockett was born with Leber's disease, which causes acute visual loss. He is extremely nearsighted.

These two both Wrestled at Lincoln-West High in Cleveland. The whole story of these two is really pretty touching.
