[TylerTheCreator]

[HistoryHmoobGuy]

@dondon78910 it was just a figure of speach fool !!!

My kids is my life, and i will go to the end of the earth to kill who ever harm my kids

[dondon78910]

@HistoryHmoobGuy good

[HistoryHmoobGuy]

@dondon78910 yea, but anyways, melendez would murder edgar and maynard......Eddie Alvarez and Shinya Aoki would also murder them also

[dondon78910]

@HistoryHmoobGuy yeh gils a fuckin sav . edgar cant finsh a fight and as for grey maynard nate diaz beat him twice as far as im concerned so he aint number 2 melendez/petis/diaz are the top guys at 155

[ceaser8999]

@dondon78910 edgar just finished maynard ha eat your words BITCH

[hspannu777]

@dondon78910 what the hell are u talking about?

maynard didnt even fight DIAZ twice...he fought him ONCE...and maynard WON by decision........ and gil is OKAY....bj would fuckin EAT him...his style just isnt was Gil is used to...as for edgar... we dont know...gil isnt even CLOSE to being as fast as edgar...and as for maynard ....IF maynard catches Gil....he's done....... but then again gil has a HUGE chance against all of them cause of his punching power...

[dondon78910]

@hspannu777 he fought diaz on the ultimate fighter and diaz won and there second fight wos contravertial. and bj a welterweight .that comment was before ufc 136 my opinion of frankie has improved and wats with all the CAPS dude your badass?

[TheTryanything95]

everyone needs to stop underestimating edgar, he bj penn twice ffs. but i reckon the winner of the postponed edgar vs maynar fight should fight melendez

[MurrayBridgeBadAss]

Your deep husky voice is very sexy Karen!

[ownwaytrini]

The question isn't whether Melendez is ready for Edgar and Maynard. The question is whether Edgar and Maynard are ready for Melendez...

And I really doubt they are

[JRomeoC]

@ownwaytrini mm i think they all are in the same lvl, still think edgar would win

[tecatonada]

MADD RESPECT BRO......

[222diddybop]

@yellowsneakers234, Dude a few years ago YESS bj would beat Gilbert, NOW 2day ,Son not a chance Gilbert would eat Bj alive, Bra

[omgstoptakingnames]

El Nino would eat edgar and maynard alive.

[thegreekmatt]

I want to see him fight BJ, Maynard and Edgar

and I want to see him fight more often

[carven2004eca]

Man. The UFC LW division just sucks now with out BJ Penn at the top. Nobody wants to see Edgar, Maynard, Miller, or Guida at the top.

[AKAL1lROB541]

@carven2004eca this is a joke right?

[carven2004eca]

@AKAL1lROB541 Well its just my opinion. I mean Penn was the man. BJJ Champion, Outstanding boxing, footwork and wrestling. I mean he would always move foward and attack and he was technical about it. I don't know. The LW division just lost a little flare for me without Penn there.

[AKAL1lROB541]

@carven2004eca yeah i see i feel like he used to be like that but hes lost it now but i love watching frankie edgar and guida all the time everyone has their preferences though

[yellowsneakers234]

I think Gilbert vs. BJ Penn would be a great fight. I think BJ would smash Gilbert tho.

[supersam360]

wasnt he in ultimate fighter?

[warrior92ish]

Never heard of the guy Gilbert beat, the competition in ufc lightweight division is way better. I got money on maynard over Gilbert

[kallador1]

@warrior92ish

you need to watch some japanese MMA friend.

The best 2 lighyweights in the world are not in the UFC IMO. (Melendez and Alverez)

[machineguntongue]

So funny. When I suggested he fight Maynard and Edgar his fans jumped all over me like I was ignorant about MMA (on youtube comments).

So he should turn down these fights if offered for his loyal fan base. Because they already know he's the man.

No need to get paid to prove it.

Haha. MMA Snobs. So stupid. So quick to judge and be predjudice.

Was just complimenting Gilbert and they got bent. Haha. Jealous fanboys? No new fans allowed???

[OnRockIT]

Yeah Gilbert because Aoki and kawajiri are the pinnacle of the lightweight world. Are you kidding?  He'd get handled by Pettis.

[kara366]

@OnRockIT

Lol Gilbert would get handled by Pettis?

[blindbrad11]

Strikeforce has real fighters, UFC has fighters that play the point game

[Demoniiiic]

@blindbrad11 Seems like in UFC they fight for there job.

[blindbrad11]

@Demoniiiic true im glad you see it that way too

[datlibra17]

@blindbrad11 UFC fighters would kick SF fighters' asses playing the point game or not... i really hope they do the superfight thing soon

[dethkl100]

Edgar is boring but I like watching ufc

[NightHawk0730]

Melendez is a beast!

[ThaAnswer1203]

Edgar would beat dat ass!

[datlibra17]

his win was impressive, but i highly doubt he has anything on Edgar or Maynard... he'd probably beat Eddie Alvarez though

[Mannypacquia0]

gilbert is an amazing fighter and all but about his resume being better then those guys? not even comparable.

[videogamegenius]

Some one was bumming off her interview LOL

[MrPromoMma]

I would like 2 see him fight Jose Aldo if Aldo moved up

[Babelfan]

Gilbert Melendez is the No.1 Lightweight of the World.

[muchohumpty]

I really hated the question that ''are you ready for the UFC'' question. He gets asked that all the time & its so frustrating to me a fan of the sport & you know he has to be extremely frustrated. Hes proving himself over over but uts not enough yet a guy like Frankee Edgar gets his ass kicked all around the cage his last fight end with a draw, hes the no 1 LW. Its all hype & BS credentials

GIL No 1 LW for true MMA fans

[pearcemark2]

@muchohumpty You're a silly man. Who has Gilbert ever beat? It's cute to talk about how great these japanese fighters are, but they're really not, and they prove it time and time again when they jump up to the big league and get smashed. Josh Thomson? Yves Edwards knocked him out.

Frankie Edgar beat BJ FUCKING PENN twice. The same BJ that just scored a draw with Jon Fitch, the unstoppable super welterweight just behind GSP. Edgar whooped his ass for 5 straight rounds.

Edgar will win.

[jjohnson218]

@pearcemark2 but gilbert is better at entertaining us than ppl like edgar or penn lately

[pearcemark2]

@jjohnson218 Because he's not fighting at the same level of competition as them.

Of course a 3 minute KO is more entertaining than a 5 round draw, but the 3 minute KO only happens because it's not the best guys in the world fighting each other. It's some guys, they're tough, they'd beat up normal people. But they're not the best on the planet, so they have some flaws that are easily exposed which makes it easier to do damage which makes for more exciting fights.

[jjohnson218]

@pearcemark2 i'll watch gilbert over gsp or edgar anyday son.

[pearcemark2]

@jjohnson218 And you'll be watching people who aren't the best fighters in the world, who would be DEMOLISHED by GSP and Edgar.

So have fun with your bush league paper champs.

[thatdude21601]

@pearcemark2 LOL GSP and Edgar are going to have to go into full on blanket/grapple fuck mode.

Also to the guy mentioning Yves Edwards KOing Josh Thompson. If we're going to MMath ....Kawajiri, Masvidal, and KJ Noons all wrecked Yves.

[jjohnson218]

@pearcemark2 like i give a fuck

[muchohumpty]

I agree with Gil, I get upset myself when people ask him about going to the ufc.. The UFC doesnt have the best fighters , they have the best marketing skills. They hype up their guys & people believe they are that good

Guys like Gil have to work extra hard to get the recognition that they are the top. Its unfair & thats why Gil has to say he wants to fight in the UFC. Its the only way to be widely recieved as the no 1. But Brock Lesnar get the no 1 spot becus of UFC hype

[cujo905]

@muchohumpty Youre making comments that dont make sense..So only because of marketing the UFC fighters are the best? You must be new to mma...Gilbert like any fighter has to work extra hard to be a great fighter. You cant be NO1 in your division unless you fight guys in the top 10....I like Gilbert and his style would match up well with the UFC top guys but he hasnt fought them yet...

[muchohumpty]

@cujo905 I didnt say UFC doesnt have talent, I said they are marketed to be the best which isnt true. In order to be the best you have to fight everybody. Since none of that has happened how can UFC say they have the best?

UFC is the biggest promotion & has the best marketing. They say they have the best & people believe it. We saw UFC send their guys over to PRIDE & they came back with their asses hand to them. Its proven over & over that the Zuffa hype machine works...Brock 4-1 paperchamp

[austizz1e]

@muchohumpty First of all ufc/zuffa owns all now so it doesn't matter. Matches are gonna happen. But in terms of rankings, ufc has the best fighters, obviously. Rankings may not indicate whos the best at the moment, but that's why they change all the time and we just have to wait until the fights happen. Lesnar has beaten randy, frank, carwin when they were all top 5 or top 3. overeem hasnt, fedor definitely hasnt, kharitonov hasnt, etc etc

[cujo905]

@muchohumpty Ufc has only sent over Chuck...He ko'd Overeem and Metzger and lost a war with Rampage. You have it turned around..Pride fighters havent done well in the UFC except a few...Anderson, Rampage. Pride was alot different in fighting rules, the ring and even the judging criteria not too mention meaningless fights thatwouldnt really proove anything. Zuffa Hype machine? Ofcourse there's hype....Although look at Fedor and now Overeem lots of hype yet havent had good comp YET!

[gregory57481]

@cujo905 come on you know good and well the ufc isn't where it's all at even thogh overeem demolished todd duffee faster than anybody else nobody wanted to give jake shields credit until he beat dan henderson which nobody gave him a snoballs chance in hell of winning and now diaz demolished a guy that fought for the ultimate fighter coach position and got kicked out for bad sportsmanship come on stop being a ufc nut hugger i'm a fan of the ufc to but give credit where credit is due man

[cujo905]

@gregory57481 Mentioning Overeem vs Duffee tells me where youre at..Ive always gave Shields credit but yeah there are alot of just UFC fans who didnt know who he was and dont give him credit...Diaz was originally a UFC fighter if you want to play that game..I just state the facts and Im a fan of mma before any organization.

[gregory57481]

@cujo905 come on you know good and well the ufc isn't where it's all at even though overeem demolished todd duffee faster than anybody else nobody wanted to give jake shields credit until he beat dan henderson which nobody gave him a snowballs chance in hell of winning and now diaz demolished a guy that fought for the ultimate fighter coach position and got kicked out for bad sportsmanship come on stop being a ufc nut hugger i'm a fan of the ufc to but give credit where credit is due man

[LikeTotallyRich]

Pass the word. We can't watch Strikeforce on Canada with Videotron. The majority of canada is with Videotron and we can't have the channel showtime, shosports or the super channel. We would like to watch.

Please we can't be hear from where we are. We need someone who is there to talk about the issue with Scott, Dana, Zuffa, Showtime, someone who can understand that it's a major issue for canadian mma fans.

Thank you verry much hoping you will do something for the canadians :)

[stupidppleverywhere]

He schooled him!!! I think this Zuffa deal is going to drain Strikeforce of all its good fighters when their strikeforce contracts are up and leave strikeforce a shadow of the organisation it used to be always better fight nigts in Strikeforce than UFC, more ko's more subs more risk takers!!!
