Melvin Guillard vs. Santino Defranco

[Tacoflavoredkisses25]

melvins biggest weakness is his grappling game he has none almost all his losses are by sub

[dilirent]

melvin is improving his grappling game now...everyone on 155 is getting scared....

[coshbane1]

Before I used to Fight like Melvin, depending only on my strikes, but later on changed to strikes and grappling, now I come up with my on ways in grappling to better myself in any situation that deals with grappling, including improving those moves and techniques that have learned from the Dojo :)

[DavidRGuti]

Santino isn't scared to get hit, he is just smart and chooses not to get hit. Plus his specialty is BJJ which is how he won. SOUTHWEST MMA ftw!

[MCCLINTOCKpride]

Oh and you can see him move his left arm for the tap his hand is hidden by their bodys

[MCCLINTOCKpride]

well wouldent you be scared of getting hit to? i train under santino, he is good, but even profetionals in the UFC say they really dont like being hit. Santino is a Boss

[dannyaau3]

Santino is my cousin, and santino if your out there bro, your an asswhole for not keeping in touch with your family!!!!

[rapidrampage1]

santino was a contestant on tuf 9!

[BlackBiscuit19]

i think santino defranco is afraid of getting hit

[shicack]

His tentativeness does seem to impede the natural flow you see in more comfortable, relaxed fighters. Lots of people have that though, its probably the hardest thing to get over. Its one thing to be able to fight, another to be able to perform under tremendous pressure.

[shicack]

@BlackBiscuit19

And yea, "getting hit" isn't a small deal. "Getting hit" can cost you the fight. So I'd say most people are afraid of "getting hit." Hence all the training in boxing defense etc. learn 2 mma b4 u post brah

[BlackBiscuit19]

@shicack ohhhh  okay thanks for clearing that up captain obvious brah......

[shicack]

@BlackBiscuit19

A bit hypocritical coming from the guy pointing out the fact that a fighter doesn't wanna get hit

[BlackBiscuit19]

@shicack  don't twist my words I said he's afraid but what do I know I still need to learn how 2 mma

[WhYtEtYsOn]

good fight. expected more from Melvin though

[peytonisballin]

is mayhem the ref?

[SurgeCess]

Melvin is a very angry young man.

[joansutherlandista]

la superioridad física de la raza negra es evidente. Es la raza superior. Son superhombres. El blanquito parece un muñeco de trapo.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Black Power! . The black men are supermen.

[domopartida]

where was the tap?????

[Bailsong92]

sylvia didnt tap when mir broke his arm the coke was locked in the ref didnt want melvin to pass out

[jakemcquizzle]

i didnt see a tap wtf

[arthurnigga]

melvin is so awesome hes a great fighter with alot of heart he always exctites me when he fights i love his quickness with those dam punches

[eurkzilla2]

Name one where he gases out?

[tinki94]

Melvin was being dominated at the end of the first round with gabe ruediger, although in the second round he finished with a knockout punch to ruedigers' stomach.

[Dueri7]

Was that forrest Griffin voice in Santinos corner??

[ksakuraba39]

good catch.. Yeah forest was in Santinos corner for this fight.

[zeronerz]

how many loses does he has. he such a good fighter

[BigCEOguy]

wow what a weak triangle, his whole shoulder was in and melvin still tapped... he needs to learn how not to panic in chokes, because that one wasnt tight at all

[vicevurze]

...I agree...I think Melvin was fatigued though...there's no way he should've tapped

[MosDef7]

Melvin never gets knocked out. He is very prone to submission and thats what hurt him. Everyone who beat him has beat him by submission. I dont see how he doesnt see what he needs to work on. Maybe his underserving ego is preventing him from being coached to his potential

[bdruckus]

though your statement is speculative, i would have to agree. it justs seems more likely to be true than anything else

[MPeako1984]

I agree and kind of blanket statement all fighters like that: Cro Cop, Randleman. even Rampage. They're sort of stuck in their ways. I don't see how as a professional fighter one refuses to learn all aspects of the game. Bas Rutten came in as only a striker. He hated losing via submission so he focused intensely on the ground game. He then won 23 fights in a row and retired as UFC champ. That's a professional fighter. Being stubborn only hurts a fighter's record, and hence their career.

[kan3400franklin]

The cocky monkey got spanked again.

[seansherk1]

Otra pelea Mas que Pierde Melvin Guillard ja¡¡¡

¿ El joven asesino ?sera el joven asesinado¡¡¡

Y esta vez , perdio con un Triangulo¡¡ y bien apretado ajajajajaja

[joeyissoweird]

mm he likes it uop the ass faggot

[chrisbjjreydiego]

santino is the man has a good omo plata and triangle nice guy but ksakuraba your stole the name i wantd dam you...sakuraba is my inspiration

[vicevurze]

Melvin's BJJ can improve definitely...but he is always gettin choked out...I guess you gotta learn though..

He's still young and has alot of potential..

[RealFactsOnly]

Melvin got real nice hands, but he gotta learn ground

[jordanav]

Melvin is always getting his ass chocked out.

[Mowglieboy69]

Melvin is such a bum.

[sh0cktim3]

fuck does guys in santino's corner ignorant bastards

[nnamdieze87]

melvin submits easily. but he is a splendid striker

[eddybear]

TGArthur you gotta be kidding me. Melvin is no where close to kit cope. Kit Cope is a Tool! Anyways, i dont want to turn this into a MMA forum or anything but yeah. That was old Melvin, New Melvin is with Team Punishment and has greatly improved.

[TGArthur]

Melvin is a lot like Kit Cope. No one can ever knock him out standing up, but can easily submit him.

[Desertbody]

this is before

[4reigntalent]

no, but seriously is this before or after he lost to joe stevenson?

[smokeweedeveryday815]

he has not fought since stevenson

[4reigntalent]

yeah, now i know, i did some research, but thanx.

[Desertbody]

In Another Fight Id Have To Go With Santino. Hes Alot More Technical And A Better Grappler

[BigHed360]

I love Melvin too. His stand up is lighting fast. He's always kicking ass then gets caught in a submission. He just needs a good grappling coach like one of the gracies or BJ Penn. He's still very young and will definately get better.

[EnthuZiast]

Reduced to what. Santino DeFranco is a better MMA fighter all together and now fights BoDog.

If they fought again Melvin would get his ass whopped AGAIN

[4reigntalent]

dude, thats bullshit and you know it. woop melvins ass? twice? you must be smoking. melvins only weakness, is his constant underestimating of his opponents, but when he gets serious, just check out his highlight vid and see what im talking about.

[4reigntalent]

thanks for putting this vid up. i wanted to see more of his fights. what happened to his highlights that i used to see on here? by the way, this was a very old fight of his right? dont tell me after loseing to that guy in ufc, he was reduced to this again?

[diabolic42090]

aw, I would've liked to see Melvin use his explosive striking more..

[Shivius]

Crap imma melvin fan!
