Champion Gilbert Melendez vs. Jorge Masvidal for the Strikeforce lightweight title.
Gilbert beat Jorge at his own game. I think Jorge didn’t want to get KO’d, so he stayed outside too much and played it safe. Gilbert won every round: I don’t know what Jorge’s corner was telling him, but he never had a sense of urgency in the last two rounds, after losing the first three.
BORING! Not ready for the UFC.
Jorge got mad when he lost the d. Lmao. Did this asshole think he won or something? Stop trying to be nick diaz and fight, because you just can’t do it like he does, player. Get over it.
I dont know why peole are saying this was a boring fight? Melendez put on a boxing clinic against Masvidal. Masvidal didnt start to utilize the jab until the third and for every one or two punches he threw Melendez was throwing three and four. Masvidal is a top fighter and was outboxed by Melendez plain and simple. He played it safe and didnt start to pick it up until the last 30 seconds of the fight. Props to the champ i hope he comes to the UFC real soon.
cant wait to see Gilbert get smashed by any above average UFC LW
I feel like both guys spent 80% of the fight backing up. Imo, this fight knocks Gil down the lightweight ranks considerably.
“at this point Mauro its just a front headlock bud” lol …Pat Miletich keeping it real
THose of u who knock Melendez on this fight have no idea how good Masvidal is, hes very crafty and experienced… Ill put my money on El Nino against any UFC fighter.
what
Boring? Melendez put on a stand-up clinic… He had great boxing.. what fight were you watching?
Boring.
super boring fight thought i was watching boxing for a moment.both held back till the last 30 sec of end 5..gaysauce
Curb stomp Mauro next time he interrupts Pat
Boring fight? Melendez put on a boxing clinic… great combinations… and he rarely backed up..
both had great head movement, but melendez was getting the best of masvidal the entire fight…
LOL @ Masvidal. Like he was competitive AT ALL.
this was not a good performance by either man. if gil was anywhere near ready for the ufc he would have destroyed masvidal and masvidal is no joke, just not ufc caliber
WOW! really Gil? like Dana’s going to move some guys over to challenge him, maybe the guys that lose 2 or 3 in a row, but not top lightweights, and the only reason the Fertitta’s & Dana haven’t folded the organization is because of relationship with Showtime and of course the $$$, and Dana can keep his promise of no womens MMA in the UFC but reap the rewards of them in Strikeforce!
damn expected more out of these guys they aint UFC level just yet
Bj vs Masvidal should be good for bj.
Gilbert conducted himself nicely, Masvidal didn’t look like himself, never had the champ in deep trouble and you don’t get to the top of the mountain giving 50%.
scottc: no sir, melendez landed but never hurt him at all. he should have actually tried to finish him or at least get him in trouble
Masdival looked 10X slower than he did against Noons… he had the crisper punching and superior power so not sure why he didnt take more chances… and his leg kicks were wearing Gil out but then he stopped… silly gameplan.
