Does he hold back? Or will he be the ruthless assassin that we know and love? This fight could happen they're both signed to the WSOF Lightweight Div. Or does Newell Submit him?
Nick will submit him. Doesn't have to take him down. His standing guillotine is nasty.
Melvin would go in over confident and Nick will sub him. It's a huge step up in competition but you can't sleep Nick.

I like newel and think he is an inspiration but people need to start being realistic about him.
Guillard would hurt him bad.

Newell is awesome. He has stood up to the test of time. Still winning. Amazing story, want him to continue to roll forward.
Nick deserves the chance to go against a name like melvin. Hope this fight happens. I understand the doubt, but nick deserves a fight like this.

Guillard would hurt him bad.
Is this hypothetical or is this scheduled?
Newell's one of the nastiest grapplers I've ever met. He subs Melvin in the first round
TheDeadlyRhythm -That's what I would think happens. Somehow Nick has proven you don't need two arms in MMA.thesonsofmontana - Melvin would go in over confident and Nick will sub him. It's a huge step up in competition but you can't sleep Nick.I could see this happening, Melvin going in over confident then getting caught
Newell is getting his ass handed to him through his throat.
Melvin via Straight Gangster Right Straight.
This is after his failed title bid.
forever anonymous - I honestly odn't see how melvin would lose this one

vagabond - I like newel and think he is an inspiration but people need to start being realistic about him.I tried that, he's 4-0 since.. Also whats realistic to assume of him? Kind of an asshole thing to say
Guillard would hurt him bad.
What people don't realize is that unless you train with Nick (ALOT) he brings certain problems to a match. EVERYONE he trains with has two arms, and probably NO ONE that others train with are like Nick. His short arm is a help and a hinderance.
Evil pickle - Is this hypothetical or is this scheduled?Nah, Newell is going to fight Gaethje for the title, and JZ is taking on Guillard.
As for the hypothetical, Melvin is of course dangerous for the usual reasons, but he always finds a way to lose against a motivated, capable opponent. Newell is motivated and on the upswing of his career.

He's 4-0 against who? No one close to guilards level.
Its absolutley not an asshole thing to say.
You can't act like he is a hero because of how well he's done in spite of his disability and then pretend he doesn't have one.
As much as I appreciate Newell's accomplishments I don't think he beats Melvin.
