OMGGGGGGGGGGGG
hahaha I thought it was only a matter of time for the KO. that was an amazing fight
looks like he wanted to keep that arm.
good to see filho return, hopefully he can stay on track….
Jesus Christ, way to have 0 ground defense. One dimensional fighters have no place in mma anymore.
y do ppl persist on the ground game wit filho? thats da only place he really dominates, i mean he got dropped on da stand up….oh well nice armbar.
Pretty amazing example of a good striker/grappler fight and how far superior grappling is to striking.
Filho showed a solid chin, and was flat out flirting with being knocked unconscious throughout the fight. A little bit of bad luck for Melvin but then again that’s always been his Achilles heel; a terrible ground game and SUB-defense. Dangerous opponent none the less and will always have a punchers chance.
Impressive.
nice comeback by Filho.
Go Paulo. Melvin has some crazy good stand up….and that’s about it. That was awesome. What a dumb ass to put his arm under Paulo’s leg as soon as he got stuck in mount. Must have a shit BJJ trainer.
Filho took some shots before he landed that arm bar… damn good fight!!
manhoef has no ground game lol and filho got lucky……isnt this the second time hes came in overweight?
Yeah!!I almost broke the table for the joy…
gawddamn!!
Great Fight! I love to see this kind of action and excitement!! And yes.. It reminded me of watching Pride..
incredible. What heart
Paulo Filho is back!!!! He ate so good shots but he kept his composure…..plus he is in an optimum shape!!!
What a come back.
Filho looks like he has a granite chin!!! if manhoef had some better ground skills, the fight would have ended much earlier. Thanks for the post Bruno!!
what a comeback. same old manhoef… he reaaaally needs a bjj camp or something.
paulo got fucking lucky
if that was UFC fight, ref would stop it immediately after the first KO manhoef did.
Good fight, but both men should flaws. Manhoef looked great, but the second Filho took the fight to the ground, you knew it was over.
looks like he played possom from
the get go
Good fight. Too bad Manhoef will never be an MMA fighter. The guy is a pure Kickboxer, nothing more, nothing less.
WOW. Lucky, but good for him. Melvin is a beast.
typical, and very predictable
Thank you Bruno!
I really thought Melvin had it.
finish the fight! tsk tsk
wow! great fight! filho looks way different from his last wec fight!
Eat that Melvin Meatloaf.
wow i am impressed with Paulo, i thought he was gonna get Knocked the FUUUCK out .,..but wow he pulled through and got the armbar. VEry nice! and to Manhoef man work on ur grappling. it took Paulo 0.3 sec to pass his guard and to full mount. real impressive…
powerfull beast . what a barrage of shots
wow.. what a turn of events..
Wow that was a sweet fight. Manhoef was throwing bombs!
check out Manhoef resting his face on the ref’s package at 3:55ish lol
Damn didnt see that coming.
fkn nice…
Guess whos back?
asdf that was not a Ko …wow it shows how much the tipical Ufc fan knows about the sport….Paulo pulled guard. so STFU
melvin has good standup and pretty quick, but he needs major major work still especially with grappling, take down defense and a lot of other shit.
I wouldn’t say that Fihlo is really back. He came in heavy AGAIN and he didn’t really look very good to me. He should have got knocked the F out.
He’s not back! He simply had this fight given to him. Seriously, as soon as Melvin got taken down he appeared to give up; he showed absolutely no defense or resistance to the mount and then he just allowed Filho to take his arm. Pathetic. It’s a shame Melvin wouldn’t move to a great camp (Jackson’s, Xtreme Coutore, Mark Dellegrotti, ATT, AKA, etc.) and just dedicate his time to takedown/submission defense because if he could get that down, he could be a scary scary guy.
impressive win, showed some heart
exactly the same way he lost to akiyama. was on top raining some bombs then got caught by armbar.
Huge win for Paulo but I’m afraid that if this fight happened in UFC, it would have been stopped ages ago.. Granite chin nevertheless
oooo filho beat a B level fighter… wow… too bad filho is stuck in limbo between the A and B levels… good matchup between two 1 dimensional fighters though, a guaranteed KO or SUB…
I’d like to see Filho VS. Palhares, that’d be awesome…
manhoef.. the guy to beat a.silva.. LOL!! ya right
I don’t remember; is this the little fat guy that just laid on the ground like a hedgehog and got the shit beat out of him by Chael Sonnen for three rounds? I’m not impressed; as soon as someone has the mental discipline not to get involved in a grappling match because they think they’ve “got him,” Paulo’s going to lose badly, and BORINGLY.
damn!! a lot of those shots were clean!..props to filho’s chin.
This is MMA ! My friends Melvin Manhoef ! You can not beat all the guy by your kick boxing! Please go work out your ground game!
It’s called Jiu jitsu Melvin. Learn it!
incredible recovery…
yea, Fiho vs Palhares would be great. I say Palhares all the way.
He Gave Henderson a go.
Manhoef shouldn’t fight mma.
Just goes to show people that in mma it takes more than just throwing big ass bombs you have to be well rounded…but then again on the other end Filho’s jitsu looked like it was about the only thing he had going for him as well.
hahahahahaahah thats what he gets 4 wearng that gaaay skirt wit the azz showin[gay and pound] .. K1 darylic… filho’s chin is stonger than a red wood tree..
If only Melvin took some time off of his impeccable kickboxing training and worked on his ground game. Even some basic sub/ground defense would improve his overall game endlessly.
ahhhhhh just the beauty of mixed martial arts
good fight to watch but manhoth jumped back into that arm bar he was out of it at one point!
Paulo great job!! I’m glad that you can show what you got besides the crap with WEC
sick ass fight. good show of the best of both worlds, striking and groundwork, represented by each of these dudes
this fight turned Filho into a man; Filho has had a lot of negative incidents in his life as of recently. This performance and the fact that Manhoef hit him with some shots that would of KO’d many other fighters, did a lot to re-enforce Filho’s psyche. Afters this it’s gonna be very difficult to KO Filho; and oakland your right, great show of striking and grappling by both men.
