DREAM 3 video of Melvin Manhoef Vs Kim Dae Won from the Saitama Super Arena near Tokyo, Japan.
ah good ol melvin the buzzsaw.Great fighter.
Dear god that was a vicious knee to the head WOW!
he didnt hit him with a hammer fist melvin hit him with a sledge hammer fist
Very mediocre performance. I know he cited the ’short notice’ reason.. but, still.. I really don’t see this guy as someone who could beat Anderson Silva (that being a regular hot topic over on some forums)
nice poundage
Nice job mmatko.
DAMMMnnn that knee was vicious
Work!!!
did any japanese fighter win this night?
kim —-> korean
japanese won in 4 out of 8 fights ![]()
nice fight.but melvin was not so impresive in his last fight against remy bonjasky
Kim needs some wrestling lessons… bad
Man, Melvin was throwing punches so hard he was off balance. Wicked knee to end the fight!!
Omg, knees to the back of the head are legal here?
I think the Korean guy dominated till that knee, realy bad ending…thats mma.
hm…im think it was ended a little to early, i think kim dae won was still able to intelligently defend himself, but i guess its better to be safe than sorry.
yeah refree was clearly watching them when Melvins knee struck twice but the second knee was ILLEGAL… Kim needs to MORE active on the ground with some GNP!!! anyways i hope to see Melvin in the Middle Weight tournement as a replacement for Sakuraba
yah…i was wondering that myself….
i understand you can knee a guy to the head of a downed opponent, but to the back of the head? I thought all strikes to the back of the head were illegal?
melvin was actually unable to train for this fight due to surgery to remove blood in his lungs after his k1 fight two weeks ago. he’s a true warrior and stepped up on short notice.
DREAM has just barely ok fights & all the PRIDE fans start saying these are the best fights ever.
“DREAM has just barely ok fights & all the PRIDE fans start saying these are the best fights ever.”
I am a PRIDE fan and never said such thing(i doubt most do it either).
“melvin was actually unable to train for this fight due to surgery to remove blood in his lungs after his k1 fight two weeks ago. he’s a true warrior and stepped up on short notice.”
agreed. he fought this fight with a open hole on his chest
from were they drew the blood out of his lungs, i saw a close up picture its pretty nasty, true warrior
What a dumb thing to say. I’ve always thought that UFC v PRIDE argument was supergay. A real MMA fan doesn’t pledge allegiance to one organisation and hate on the others. We just like watching fights whether they’re in the ring or cage, it doesn’t matter who pays the bills as long as they put on a decent show.
Good on Melvin for even showing up after the Bonjasky bout, tuff nut.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek that knee was nasty !
