It was close, but Melendez is supposed to be 2nd ranked lightweight in the world and he can barley beat an injured Thompson. One finish in his last 5 title fisghts and that was against a natural featherwight

**terpkeg** · 05-19-12, 10:34 PM

Thought it was Melendez 1, 2, and 3.

Atleast fans were booing because they were unhappy w/ decision. Unlike the Jersey fans (i was there) who just boo'd pretty much everything all night long.

**Vitooch** · 05-19-12, 10:35 PM

Why are they booing Melendez though? He's not a judge...

**Beelzebubzy** · 05-19-12, 10:37 PM

It was close. I scored it for Melendez 3-2, do a 4th fight, who else are you going to give the title shot to? Couture?

My dude, do you really think he just tried to potshot and look for a takedown to steal rounds because thats the only thing he could do? The only time he showed intensity was in response to Thompsons. The only time he ever used leg kicks is when Thompson came forward aggressively and then it was only a tap saying "hey I could use these if I wanted to".

cormier lookin good early

**Vaughany** · 05-19-12, 10:55 PM

**getlucky2win** · 05-19-12, 10:57 PM

**Libert1ne** · 05-19-12, 10:59 PM

Just worried about his durability. Need him to last. Come on CORMIER!

**getlucky2win** · 05-19-12, 11:01 PM

I'm assuming you missed the Aguilar/Fuji scrap. Bellator's 115 lb woman's division is STACKED.

**Imsmarterthanu** · 05-19-12, 11:06 PM

Melendez is overrated as fukk

he beat a couple japanese cans and can barely beat Josh Thompson

**Ron29301** · 05-19-12, 11:08 PM

Yeah, I mean. I like good fights that go the distance. Im just starting to bet on MMA.

**Vitooch** · 05-19-12, 11:11 PM

**Libert1ne** · 05-19-12, 11:12 PM

Called it. Cormier outclassed him.

**zoo youk** · 05-19-12, 11:13 PM

So impressed with how so confident cormier is in his abilities dude is awesone

**Libert1ne** · 05-19-12, 11:15 PM

Class act. Got him at +130, +120 and +114. He's a freakin beast. Can't wait to see him in the UFC.

**Libert1ne** · 05-19-12, 11:15 PM

Would have taken him at -180

Nice MMA math noob

The only thing I see is that Barnett doesn't like getting ground and pounded he tends to quit when he gets hit over and over he turns around and quits. As for taking cormier down there are many ways to do that not just wrestling Barnett is a grappling beast once he gets a body grip on you I don't care who you are you're going down the thing is how many shots is he gonna be able to eat before he gets that grip. Cormier is a thick wide dude with great speed that's why I don't think Barnett is going to be able to get a body grip on him. I figure this will be Cormier's fight by decison

I called it.

**illmatick** · 05-19-12, 11:21 PM

3-0 night but I dodged a bullet on Gilbert.
