1st and 2nd round go to Melvin Guillard, 10-9, 10-9, and the 3rd goes to Gleison Tibau 10-9. I think because Tibau finished off with the mount, it skewed everyone’s outlook on the fight. Guillard did more damage in rounds 1 & 2, plain and simple.

I feel bad for Tibau….:(

Machete Says, in 6-22-2009 at 23:15:40 from 72.227.146.40

The judges lately have been on some bs. Tibau took the 1st and 3rd round.

Iconoclast Says, in 6-23-2009 at 00:23:25 from 98.168.205.231

The third round was the only easy round to score. 1st and 2nd could have gone either way. Regardless, boring fight.

El Tabasco Says, in 6-23-2009 at 01:05:59 from 189.79.230.65

Jables Says, in 6-23-2009 at 01:27:44 from 68.146.99.57

This win was important for Melvin.. Mentally that is

He didn’t get destroyed by any means, he did the only damage in the fight… Tibau attempted take downs, got stuffed the majority of the time… and only sat on him when he got it, if he could keep him down…

The judges could of gone either way… i guess they just now decided to stop condoning lay and pray..

zebo13 Says, in 6-23-2009 at 02:08:33 from 66.58.169.154

Tibau had a couple takedowns in the 1st, but did absolutely nothing, Melvin got right back up each time. He also landed some solid body kicks which is more then Tibau’s zero strikes connected. Round one was close, but Melvin took it in my eyes.

Jon Dough Says, in 6-23-2009 at 02:45:11 from 67.166.140.244

Melvin won the first and second round IMO. He controlled the pace through the first round. He was getting off first, and landing numerous strikes. Tibau really played offensive with minimal counterstriking and a short lived take down in the first round after recieving a kick. Guillard ended the round by controlling the center of the cage. He ended the round with a shot on Tibau. The second round we saw Tibau attempting the takedown. Melvin was able to stabilize his position before flipping Tibau upside down with a hip toss. Guillard then took the center of the ring and had the fans chanting “Melvin!” which could have played a role in the judges decision. After falling on his back after a second hip toss attempt that failed Melvin quickly got back to his feet without recieving any damage. Melvin then took the center of the cage and got the better of each exchange with various punches and kicks. The last 30 seconds of the second round Tibau did get a takedown, but never got Guillard to his back and didn’t do any damage, but finished the round that way. Tibau dominated throughout the final round with various takedowns, sweeping into top control and mount finishing the round in the mount. Each judge declares a score for each athlete after each round. They score it round by round. So if you watch the video close you may see Guillard winning the first and second rounds. Keep in mind that it was a split decision. 3 judges, 3 opinions.

Abuani Says, in 6-23-2009 at 05:18:30 from 68.96.230.226

All Tibau needs to do is stay busy and this match wouldn’t have been close.

Derick Says, in 6-23-2009 at 05:23:35 from 60.49.119.38

The judge is Melvin girlfriends!!!No way Melvin win the fight !!!

london jones Says, in 6-23-2009 at 05:28:54 from 90.210.131.250

let me get this right close fight but most off UFC fans think Tibau won hands down! i see we got a lot of redneck UFC fans in here. bet this is the same lot that hate kimbo just because! “oh is not because his black” they say, it’s just that his bad for the sport! no most UFC fans are bad for MMA! always booing fighters! all the bloggers thinking there masters of MMA! bet most UFC fans wouldn’t even put them up in a cage! Pu$$y boys!

cytrus500 Says, in 6-23-2009 at 05:40:34 from 87.194.112.235

It was close and especially with Tibau ending the fight with the mount it looks like he won, but on the whole Guillard came off better. It was close, but I think that was a fair decision.

gotcrowd.com Says, in 6-23-2009 at 06:14:33 from 68.82.9.77

Tibau did NOTHING in terms of damage. He got stuffed over and over. Good fight.

Thxer Says, in 6-23-2009 at 06:25:12 from 198.217.64.22

Lol F Tibau. There’s lay and pray, but jesus. I’m glad he got robbed, a handful of takedowns with NOTHING else shouldn’t win a fight.

I know it’s not ‘right’, but w/e, I don’t have any pity for that garbage.

FEDOR#5 Says, in 6-23-2009 at 06:58:30 from 76.64.213.134

how is that a bad decision?
Guillard obviously won the first 2 rounds, Tibau couldnt do fuck all to him..

sure he mounted him twice and it looked good, the last one he may have finished but ran outta time… Melvin had no damage visibly and escaped everything Tibau put him in… so its possible he could have escaped the last mount like he did the last one..

J.YO Says, in 6-23-2009 at 09:38:26 from 92.1.239.211

personally i scored it the first two rounds for melvin. third round gleison was dominant. he even rocked melvin on his feet at one point. but yeah. bit of a slow burner but ill give it to melvin.

shame. coz i like tibau.

whoareyou221 Says, in 6-23-2009 at 12:09:41 from 75.33.92.254

The judges did a good job…….. of judging the crowd and not the fight! A-La Bisping-Hamil.

will Says, in 6-23-2009 at 13:41:37 from 65.2.144.97

close but i see how Melvin could have got 1 & 2 3 for sure to Tibau, Tibau didn’t really do shit to Melvin no damage those take down in 1 & 2 but he couldn’t hold him down hurt him or submit him

mdizzy Says, in 6-23-2009 at 15:36:10 from 98.249.101.98

good decision

nikki Says, in 6-23-2009 at 16:51:32 from 70.48.8.202

wow, bullshit decision. Melvin clearly lost,

PitFighterZ Says, in 6-23-2009 at 17:09:36 from 76.114.66.221

I agree with Androly-San. There’s something really wrong with a fight, when a fighter (Tibau) gets an upperhand and his corner start screaming “don’t fight, don’t fight!”
Something seriously fishy. Although, I agree Tibau didn’t do shit until the last minute of the last round, Melvin didn’t neither. At least, Tibau had completely control of the fight when it ended.
In my opinion, they should have stopped the fight, slapped both fighters in the face and sent them home until they decided to fight.
There was nothing even close to technique or will power in this. They might have done it as a charitable fight to get Melvin back in the game.

stu11 Says, in 6-23-2009 at 17:47:49 from 70.156.124.212

Melvin Rd 1, Rd 2, Tibau Rd 3. It’s that simple.

ricco Says, in 6-23-2009 at 18:08:29 from 75.62.236.46

melvin lost badly, shitty decisions across the board lately

Mulch Says, in 6-23-2009 at 18:23:15 from 70.127.178.213

Not the most exciting fight but I have to agree with the judges. Melvin squeaked it out.

Jorge Says, in 6-23-2009 at 18:26:04 from 69.242.49.221

Sherdog made it sound like Tibau was robbed which was complete crap. Tibau won the 3rd and Melvin won the second but the first was very close and could have gone either way.

goro Says, in 6-23-2009 at 18:37:17 from 77.227.173.147

tibao is WINER wtf????!!!!

milan707 Says, in 6-23-2009 at 21:17:25 from 173.126.134.22

crappy fight and crappy decision

FEDOR#5 Says, in 6-23-2009 at 21:25:22 from 76.64.213.134

lol @ Melvin clearly lost.

did you only watch the last round of the fight?

good thing you guys arent judging fights

bobinho Says, in 6-23-2009 at 21:33:32 from 82.30.105.71

why can’t judges score rounds a draw more often. this is a good example. the first two rounds were so close there was literally a punch in it either way. if they score the first two rounds as draws which they were instead of just picking one for the sake of it you get the correct decision in the end.
definately something that needs to be looked at

brocksadick Says, in 6-23-2009 at 22:39:33 from 70.53.3.166

hey thanks Bruno! I have been relying on your site for 2 years you have saved me thousands of $. My favorite site ever! Brocks a j!$$ guzzler!

phatphilonononon Says, in 6-24-2009 at 00:06:35 from 98.125.233.240

Melvin Guillard sucks Melvin clearly lost.
Tibau took the 1st and 3rd round.
Thanks Bruno!

unclerobb49 Says, in 6-24-2009 at 07:18:39 from 173.73.125.176

wah, wah, wah!!! melvin got the “w” so GET OVER IT!!! all things noted round one was won by that massive body blast because they were even otherwise. okay…they split the last two and…VOILA!!! tibau lost the first two because he was unable to keep guillard down or do any damage given his submission reputation. guillard’s even surviving tibau’s MOUNTS???. i could go on, but why? IT IS WHAT IT IS! he shoulda knocked melvin out then there would be no need for whining.

Nando_BR Says, in 6-24-2009 at 11:16:59 from 189.63.97.145

Tibau Won, he was ROBED !

upandcomer Says, in 6-24-2009 at 11:37:13 from 70.187.187.191

Great fight! Those of you who thought this fight sucked need to retake MMA 101. Tibau wasn’t striking on the ground because every time he opened up Melvin was on his feet. Therefore, even with the take downs he was not in control. Melvin landed clean strikes on his feet. The explosiveness of both fighters caused them to be very respectful of each others skills. This was not a boring fight but a technical one.

Mike Says, in 6-24-2009 at 16:34:09 from 24.42.127.185

Guillard did not win any rounds in my book. Rounds 1 and 2 he backed up and defended Gleison’s takedowns while landing no real strikes except for one kick to the body. Gleison was the agressor those rounds constantly pressuring Guillard and making him weary of takedowns. I don’t see how he could have won 1 round. Defending takedowns and running away does not win fights.

Mike Says, in 6-24-2009 at 16:42:13 from 24.42.127.185

Guillard landed no strikes in rounds 1 and 2, he was to busy defending takedowns. To me he was being controlled. Sure he got up, but when he got up he was again pursued and taken down. Tibau ducked and weaved guillards strikes he landed no real damaging strikes except maybe that one kick, when he was taken down after. No fighter really did any damage in rounds 1 and 2 but Tibau dictated it. Tibau was the clear aggressor in all rounds.

gummo-815 Says, in 6-24-2009 at 17:17:19 from 75.21.97.182

london jones –
i am by all rights a fan of the ufc and a self proclaimed redneck, but i still think guillard won the fight.you are the one stereotyping people. and you talk pretty tough seeing how everyone in the world knows the french are the biggest pussies on the planet. scared to fight anyone. america kicked the shit outa you fools in 1776, then saved your weak asses in the 1940’s. if not for the ufc this site would not even exist for you to cry on. i guess your the defender of black fighters eveywhere. or are you kimbo?? and if your not,and you think kimbo is a good fighter you know less about mma than anyone on this site.

war hendo!!

Ogalthorpe Says, in 6-25-2009 at 15:25:54 from 24.51.206.224

I do believe Tibau won the 1st and 3rd rounds. The takedowns, aggressiveness, and ground work is really how I think he did it. Melvin is a great fighter and I would love to see these two go at it again. Tibau just needed to win this fight and one more and he would of had a tittle fight .

Hal Says, in 6-25-2009 at 17:15:21 from 68.6.99.133

You can always tell when someone is a completely clueless, uneducated meathead versus a knowledgeable fan and/or fighter. The meatheads complain of a “boring” fight unless someone’s head is split open. Melvin displayed hugely improved takedown defense and some great ground escapes against a skilled BJJ master. That in itself is both exciting and impressive. That said, I agree that the split should have gone slightly in favor of Tibau for aggression and control. Close fight for sure. PS: Anyone who screams racism when none exists is enabling actual racism to persist, and should really learn to connect brain to mouth (or pen) before activating it.

damyouz Says, in 7-17-2009 at 00:20:13 from 70.123.204.77

wait whaaat….
melvin lost the 1st round by takedowns.
then melvin won the 2nd.
then tibau layed on him and definetely took the last round.. GOING BY CLASSIC & BASIC “UFC” JUDGING “TIBAU” SHOULD HAVE WON THAT!! tis more BS judging seen in the UFC
