Frankie would beat Melendez

Frankie would beat Melendez. Melendez looked slow and Frankie would not just stand in front of him to get hit. Frankie would be to fast for him. I dont think Melendez could take Frankie down. Phone Post

 Gil looked great. I still pick Frankie though, better wrestler, faster.

 Agreed

I agree, especially after Masvidal was able to take him down. Speed kills and I think Frankie would outstrike him for the most part and put him on his back easily.

Frankie wont be able to take Gil down as well, lets see who has the better stand up.

 the fight is a toss up.

TekNyc - Frankie wont be able to take Gil down as well, lets see who has the better stand up.


 He took BJ Penn down multiple times in both fights and slammed Gray Maynard.

I think Frankie could takedown Melendez. He took down maynard and bj. I think Frankie has stated stand up. Phone Post

Guys, Kongo got 1 takedown on Cain, Brock is going to kill him! 

Better stand up I meant Phone Post

Yes he could. Jorge took Gil down. Frankie took Maynard down...he can take Gil down.

Maynard took Frankie down, Jorge could prolly get at least one on Frankie in a 5 rder, Who cares? Gil will outstrike him and have as much scrap in hhim as Frankie. Would be a great fight. Dana make it happen!

Agreed

WTF?

How does this fight have any bearing on Edgar/Melendez?

Masvidal is a better boxer than Edgar, yet Melendez comfortably outstruck Masvidal.

Jamiee - WTF?

Bunch of arm chair qb's lol.

 Frankie would pick him apart and take him down.  Melendez is a top 5 talent but he's not the best.

Frankie would beat Gil like he beat BJ, in their second fight Phone Post

lol exactly. boggles my mind how people still dont understand matchups

Different fight, different gameplan, different tactics and a different Sunday. You would think after 5 years in the sport, you would know better.

Is today "Obvious Saturday" ?
