romero somehow remembered how to wrestle
thank god he didnāt catch the keylock. fuck me that would have been an anticlimax
Not looking good for Melvinā¦ Yoel didnāt even need the takedown to get him down and kicked him off his feet. Then his Base when he uses it is solid as a boulder
Yoels 46 is different than all the other 45+ yr plus old fightersā¦
Especially a guy like Manhoef who has been Kickboxing and has been on both ends of KOās for decades whereas Yoel has only been finished once and spent the majority time grappling without strikes.
This is about as exciting as Nganou-Lewis was
haha
Melvin appears mind-fucked compared to his confident former self
Yeah both are pretty gun-shy here and aware of the others power making for a slow fight. But Melvin more so
that rushing in could end like with mark hunt xd
Dammitā¦ a finish but fucking sad to seeā¦ I didnāt want him to go out like thatā¦ the bell was so closeā¦
it felt like he can end it any time with those elbows
YOEL barking like a junkyard dog
Lmfao
Thanks for the Decades of KOās Melvin
A career that goes back to 1995 and a debut in between UFC 7 and UFC 8
Plus a simultaneous Kickboxing Career. Legendary power but not the chin to go with it. Hope he enjoys a long retirement
oh lordy. that was rough. completely unconscious after the first elbow and the second was much harder.
wtf was the barking about. what is going on with his test levels? (read: they are almost certainly elevated lol)
One day Yoel will have a full gray beard and he will still be one of the most intimidating people on the planet
To be fair stylistically its not a great matchup. Olympic wrestler with crazy power standing across from him. Amazing career though.
wow, i dont usually care when people retire or see it as a big deal. very glad hes stopping but sad to see the end of a wild fucking ride.
how the fuk it wasnāt a main event
why has this interview chick got her tits hanging out? dont bring on token chicks with their tits out.
female fighters: yes
titty-reliant interviewers: no
I hated this fucking song in the 90s lol but have come to appreciate it especially when someone walks out to it in Ireland and the crowd sings along
