    Masvidal Over Melendez Dec. 17th...Shock the World!!


    JASON AMADI, MMATORCH COLUMNIST
    I'm not ready to make a firm prediction on this fight yet, but I definitely see a lot of similarities between this fight and a lot of other lightweight fights we've seen this year. Just like with Guillard vs. Lauzon, Sotiropoulos vs. Siver, and Miller vs. Henderson, we have someone already in mind for a UFC     [COLOR=#960000 !important][COLOR=#960000 !important]title [COLOR=#960000 !important]fight[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], but he still has to get by a dangerous opponent with the skills to derail him.

    Jorge Masvidal is an excellent fighter, but tends not to fight up to his potential in certain bouts. But the fact is, everything Masvidal has ever dreamed of is right in front of him. A win over Melendez makes him an instant player at 155 pounds, it gets him top 10 status, and it gets him into the UFC title contention.

    We're going to see the very best version of an incredibly talented fighter when Masvidal squares off against Melendez this December. I'm still leaning towards Melendez, but Masvidal has everything to win, nothing to lose, and a world class skill set at his disposal. This could all go very wrong for Melendez very quickly.


    Masvidal +280....count me in! The guy has ALOT of muscle for 155. He's fought at 170 and is physically bigger than Melendez.
    GM might wear him down with cardio like Edgar over Maynerd but Masvidal is very talented and GM will get his best shot.

          yes....just didn't feel like trying to find it...etc. Should be an interesting fight....wonder what else is on the card...have to get Showtime back. I just wanted to post a MMA writers opinion since everyone on here is buying the Melendez hype.

              Definitely agree here. Masvidal is being over looked as a journey man here. Dude is a very talented underachiever.

              Although I'm not saying he will win this fight, I do believe he CAN win if he plays his cards right and will give melendez fits.

                  I think its well worth anything over +200. I guess I haven't seen Masvidal's underachieving fights but the 3-4 that I've seen had me saying "How the fk does this guy have 6 losses"? The answer is that some young guys don't appreciate the opportunity or slack off but he'll be ready for this one. I love your avatar...I remember seeing that slam on Pride and wondering how Fedor not only walked away from that but won the fight like 45 seconds later.

                      Dude you already posted this and it's on the first page of the forum... doesn't take much to scroll down and find it.
                      You gave your opinion, we gave ours and you said it was smartass nonsense.

                      If you're going to take a shot on Masvidal, you may as well play the (T)KO prop for the best value. No way he decisions Gil.
                      I actually think Melendez had great value at -300 and made the play there.

                          Thats because they posted stuff like "your screen name fits" or detailed fight analysis like "Melendez will kill him". If you want to back a smaller man at 3-1 be my guest.

                          You are correct about the TKO prop....depends on what Bodog offers when they get around to posting a line. I could look for it back at 5Dimes I guess?
